You can totally live your life without playing this, but the thing is: it's super cheap and well executed! Pretty challenging, but manageable. Just focus on playing it slow with the Arm Spin Style before going for those addicting combos!

i bought this game not knowing whether i'd enjoy it or not, but i'd say it went down well. okay, but, for real just buy the game it's good, just-one-more type of arcade fun. no real progression system to speak of besides little palette swaps you unlock and that's a GOOD thing. some of these roguelike developers need jesus fr. reject number-go-up dopamine systems, return to fun gameplay.

Released in 2015, Downwell was developed by Moppin and is a rogue like platformer. It is hard to describe such elegantly simple game in a concise manner. Your character jumps down a well and, with gunboots, stores, and weapon caches, has to survive an impressively long well, all the way down, to face a variety of enemies. This combination of genres creates something akin to the right amount of salt to French fries, something that is good is just so much better. As a rogue like, the placement of platforms and enemies change every time, and as a platformer it demands the player to develop a good movement control. Every segment down the well feels like a reward on itself. As you try over and over to go deeper into the well, you unlock new characters and color pallets. The simple yet distinguished art style is complemented by an equally interesting set of sound effects, different for each weapon, and a soundtrack. This game is simple, fun to pick up and play and hard to master, so I highly recommend it.

Downwell for its price might as well be a diamond. The game is fun as it is hard, very much so, it feels very rewarding to finally start to land those long combos consistently and finally beating that boss that seemed impossible. The artstyle for me feels clean and works really well (pun intended), and there is a lot of variety with almost 40 palettes, though most of them are pretty jarring in my opinion. Summing up, for its price there is no reason you shouldn't give it a try.

I don't particularly like this game. You can get hit 4 times before restarting, there is little in the way of healing, there are no checkpoints, and you will get hit pretty often if you don't land directly in the center of enemies despite the sensitive controls. It is too difficult and I find myself leaving frustrated with a bad taste in my mouth more often than I do feeling satisfied, and that's despite the fact that I greatly enjoy other difficult games like noita and rain world. However, this is a good game. It is designed well, it has an enjoyable style, and the controls feel good to use. If you like brutally difficult, fast paced, classic arcade style games, it is definitely worth a try.
