As someone who's played some Spelunky & none of Spelunky 2 (b/c I still need to beat Spelunky), that looks like it could be a variant mode of Spelunky 2.

Good guess because it does kinda look like the classic version of Spelunky but that's not it.

As a hint, this game is not a roguelike and it came out after the first Spelunky's full release.

10000 Spikes? (The number is almost certainly wrong.)

Look at the picture again. The number is the easiest part to get right. Hint: you don't need to count the spikes on the screen.

1001 Spikes.

Free play if correct

Yeah, it is 1001 Spikes.

Then I declare FREE PLAY!!!

I'll take that.

Here's what my first thought was when I saw the last screenshot:

Rick Dangerous?

Absolutely correct!

Kinda looks like Transistor.

It's not though.

I've probably gotten too obscure with this one:

Wild guess: VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action?

It's not, but that's about what a remake or sequel could look like...

It looks like one of those games where you run a shop/bar/whatever during the day, and at night you crawl dungeons/go fishing/fight robots in a 2d sidescrolling beat-em-up.
...but with a cyberpunk veneer.

No, it's not. But it was bundled with VA-11 Hall-A for a while.

ANNO... something or other?

I'll give it to you - it's ANNO: Mutationem. A perfectly fine metroidvania/rpg/anime trash mashup, but it's also never really more than that.

Over to you, UpToIsomorphism.

In celebration of the return of football tonight...

Correct! Not to be confused with Mutant League Football, which I originally searched for, but which was also the blueprint for this "spiritual" sequel. You're up!

I should have known....Steam keeps recommending that to me, but I keep ignoring it.

Lol, you made me check I had the right version. Always go with your first gut.
It is NFL Blitz 2000.

Actually, I think it's the original '97/'98 release. The shape of the score...uh...board? at the top-left gives it away.

It's called a score bug. Because that's not dumb at all.
