Lost my save after re-downloading the game a year after uninstalling. Fortunately, you can easily edit your savefile to get back what you previously had if you go through \AppData\Local\Downwell_v1_0_5

Downwell feels like a phone game (stay with me) from the golden age of phone games, when they were actually great games just for small screens. I beat this 100% on steam and on my playstation VITA, its 3$. Buy it and beat it till you're sick of it.

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.
