  An honest-to-God masterpiece. A few of the tags (procedual generated, rouge-lite, pixel graphics) are ususally red-flags for a game that is lacking polish or subtitutes level design for "infinite" levels and appeals to nostalgia. Downwell expertly avoids this trap with an incredibly pure design philosophy and gameplay that swings from frantic to methodical. The game itself is a platformer where you only proceed (and attack) in one direction: down. In this way it's similiar to a shmup, but with the classic platforming elements of "jumping off of things and bouncing off enemies" on your way to the goal. Powerups and upgrades give you a better shot at making it to THE BOSS™, zone changes bring new challenges and threats, and skillful play is rewarded with more ammo and health. Again, basic elements, but Downwell embraces these familiar cliches to create something truly special. There isn't a plot to investigate or any sort of moral conondrum to consider, just the objective of getting from point A to wherever your gunboots carry you. tl;dr: this is a game that takes design ques from 3 seperate generes (2D platformers, shoot-em-ups, and rouge-lite action games) and presents them in a carefully distilled, no frills package. It's nothing more or less than an incredibly well designed video game.

  Many platformer games reward you for repeatedly jumping on the heads of enemies without touching the ground. Sometimes you can earn bonuses or use them as stepping stones to reach new places. [i]Downwell[/i] is an entire game about this. This is a very well-polished, well-balanced action game with a neat visual style consisting of about only four colors. The object of the game is to jump down the well, fall through twelve stages, and fight a boss. Each run is different, as the levels have randomly generated terrain, and there are also a few simple perks, stats, weapons, and upgrades to earn in a different order each game. Every three stages, the environment changes into something surprisingly different which will probably kill you the first time you make it that far, but a pleasantly stable skill curve will reward your persistence. Through dying many times you can also unlock different characters and palette swaps for the entire game, some of which will make your eyes bleed, others which are awesome enough that they might actually improve your skill level. Don’t be fooled: this is no metroidvania or roguelike. It’s not a game about exploring the scenery, hunting treasure, and slowly proceeding forward. It’s more like a vertically-scrolling [i]Canabalt[/i] where you only have a few moments to react to whatever the game throws at you. It also has the same addictive “just one more try!” quality that runner games have. Also, don’t make the newbie mistake of thinking that the gunboots are your main weapon. Your main weapon is your ability to stomp on enemies, and the gunboots are mostly just there to help you stabilize and aim your jump. [i]Downwell[/i] is all about the combos. The game rewards you with money and stat boosts for killing many enemies without touching the ground, things which can add up and make all the difference by the end of the game. I had a blast with this game! It’s got a refreshingly new type of gameplay for a platformer, and the shadowy, creepy pixel graphics were stylish and fun to watch. The last achievement is quite tough, and achievement hunters can expect anywhere from 10 to 40 hours of gameplay depending on how they handle the daunting final challenge the game has in store.

  Downwell is a fantastic game for an exceptional price. I would pay 10+ dollars for this game, letalone the low price of 3.30 (CAD). Heck, I've even paid 60 dollars for games less enjoyable than this. It's a tough platformer/shmup with a brilliant graphics and a damn fine soundtrack. While at first the game might only seem OK, the game truly shines when you get a hang of it's combo system- previously "sorta tough" levels turn into heart racing ballets of bouncing off all kinds of crazy enemies and crossing your fingers that you don't get the laser. Seriously, screw the laser. It might seem overpowered at first, but that's exactly why I hate it. Anyways, i've only gotten to the second area of Downwell- but that's mainly because the game is extremely tough. But that's part of the fun, seeing how perfect you can get each area before getting so good at them you can tackle the next one. I'm not sure what the rest of the game is like, but unless the game shouts racial slurs at the screen in the last area I'm pretty sure i'll like it just as much as the beginning of the game. 10/10 best virtual boy game i've ever played EDIT: I take back everything I said about the laser, with gem recharge it's the best weapon in the game and netted me a 29 combo

  i review games on steam after i 100% complete them! check out my reviews to see all the games i have completed! downwell is a vertically scrolling platformer that was developed by ojiro fumoto and published by devolver digital. it released in october 2015 on iOS and PC, then later released on android devices in early 2016, with PS4/vita ports coming in may of that same year. lastly, a nintendo switch port came out in early 2019. development started around march 2014, after fumoto, the sole developer, essentially dropped out of college and began working on game projects. downwell was apparently his thirteenth project, but was still the first time he'd been proud of the game and saw potential in making a full release. he took heavy inspiration from spelunky, a game fumoto was apparently "obsessed with." he wanted to make a game like spelunky but he wanted to make it simplistic enough that it could seamlessly run on mobile devices in addition to regular gaming spaces. later in september 2014, devolver digital even publicly tweeted at fumoto about downwell and eventually they became the publisher, which definitely helped the marketing and eventual sales of the game for sure. the success of the game even got the dev hired at nintendo for a brief time, which also led to the nintendo switch port. downwell uses a black and white color palette, with red and blue sparsely used to highlight things like environmental features or enemies, although this can be changed later through in-game unlock-ables. you play as a "curious man" who uses gun-boots as his main weapon. you'll find treasure, kill enemies, and generally explore as you fall down the well. the well itself is procedurally generated, with enemies and other things also randomly spawning in at random points. there's even some light rogue-like elements at play here which add to the variety of the game overall. the controls are tight, simple, and satisfying all at once, making this a very fun and extremely interesting platformer that feels great to play, and leaves you wanting more by the end of your initial playthrough. a common saying i've used before is if the biggest complaint i have about a game is that it's too short, you know it's a damn good game. this is also another classic example of how devolver doesn't miss and how they have a great eye for smaller devs and the great quality of games that can be put out with such small teams/budgets. it's extremely well crafted and the fact you can grab this on sale for less than a dollar is insane (i bought this for 74 cents). i highly recommend grabbing this on sale, immediately installing and trying to finish the game in one setting. it's definitely doable, but 100% completion will require at least two playthroughs if you're in to that kind of thing.
