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.

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.
