This is thanks to a combination of the suspense created by offering you only one life, and the game's procedurally-generated levels - which are different on each play-through. A perfect cocktail of skill and luck is required to get Spelunky's more challenging achievements. This is epitomised by 'Low Scorer', which requires you to complete the game without picking up any treasure. In Spelunky's unpredictable world - where one rogue explosion that you weren't expecting could send riches flying into you - this is no easy task. In Spelunky, you also rely heavily on treasure to buy powerful items from shopkeepers. Without treasure, you're effectively armed with nothing more than a whip and whatever power-ups you find in crates (which, mercifully, don't count as treasure).
