I was wondering if it would be possible to play the game with a game pad. I am really confused with the controls on the keyboard, even I could learn the keyboard, I would probably do that, I am just wondering.

You can, just run the config program from the spelunky folder. I just played with the Xbox 360 wired controller. Bless Derek for making the hat switches (the d-pad) do movement! (Unlike countless other games that assume you want to play 2d platformers with the analog stick...)

It worked with my Airflo EX pad right away, without dealing with the config applet. So if you have a gamepad already set up under Windows, it should work by default.

I use an x-box 360 wired controller to play Spelunky, so getting it on XBLA will feel right at home.  My control scheme is: X : Whip Y : Inventory A : Jump B : Run L : Bombs R : Rope (Those are L and R shoulder buttons, not trigger). I have P as purchase on the keyboard (as default) but might swap it with the Y (inventory) because I never use that button ever.

I've been using a USB adapter for a PS2 controller for ages now, and I had to map the buttons to keyboard keys to make it work. One side effect of this is that I have L1 and R1 both mapped to run, and I love it. I haven't been able to reproduce this in the actual gamepad config, though. Would it be possible to get this added in?

I use an old x-box controller (not 360) and it works fine; I actually think the game benefits from a gamepad. Totally worth it.
My setup is:
A = Jump B = Item switch X = Action / Attack Y = Purchase Black button = Bomb White button = Rope L Trigger = Run
I don't bother using the R trigger, although I did used to use it as the flare button until they were phased out and replaced with the Box O' Flares.

I don't actually know if back and start work for this, I'll give it a try.

I think a good setup is:
A: Jump X: Run B: Attack Y: Switch L: Bomb R: Rope Back: Purchase Start: Pause

Used a Logitech gamepad from the start, for simplicities sake I'll give my setup in 360 controls though.
A: Jump B: Inventory (never, ever use it though) X: Attack Y: I don't even know, never use it either! LB: Run RB: purchase LT: Bomb shortcut RT: Rope shortcut
Though the triggers are not really triggers. And I have no use to switch inventory anymore, just use the thing when ready.

This is probably a stupid question, but how did you bind both L1 and R1 to run?

XPadder lets you bind the same key to multiple buttons. Spelunky's Gamepad tool does not.

Genius MaxFire Pandora (since I was looking for a megadrive-like gamepad) _L7___|___R8_ | A 456| |< > = = 123| |_v_________| ] Game DOES work with it, gamepad wizard does not, so can't reconfigure 1 - use, 2 - jump, 3 - run, 4 - nothing, 5 - throw bomb, 6 - rope, 7 - nothing, 8 - cycle (as seen on the scheme, L and R are 7 and 8 ) = means keys that can't be assigned.
