Downwell

its a good time waster, good for yt in the background

instant platforming dopamine that you can boot up at any time and get mad at for USD$3 (USD$2 on sale), perfect fidget toy for me

Feels sacrilegious but man I really hate the horizontal movement sensitivity.

fun game

Quintessential nostalgia slop with the retropixel paintjob on top of it that, despite randomly generated levels and the constant shower of cosmetic upgrades and perks, gets repetitive in about an hour.
Play this old junk if you're a female student with daddy issues.

gooooddddd

I got a seizure while playing this but somehow beat the boss and got to the bottom

A game that's fun to be bad at, and even more fun to crush! I have like 10 hours on my switch and 3 hours on my phone and when I was into this game I was INTO this game. Very thoughtfully crafted, and overwhelmingly complex - there's tons of ways to express yourself. I never knew there were so many ways to go down a well!

i forgot that i owned this but now that i remember, yeah its alright

Downwell is a well polished retro-esthetic 2-D roguelike. Controls feels really good, which is a must for a precision platformer like this. Downwell is a pretty damn tough game, but it plays like a dream on the Steam Deck and is the king of making you say "just another run".

$2.99 is the full price and it's often on sale for less than $1? You have no excuse to not add this to your collection and play it. Easy recommend.

Weird movement acceleration.

Best dollar (or so) i've ever spent

you seem im a guy who can appreciate a good hole

The one you would like to have when waiting on loading screen for one quick go

pues, la verdad no se me hizo muy divertido

Downwell is a game with three colors so I feel like it shouldn't stutter as much as it does when there's more than four enemies on screen. But also it's fun and dirt cheap so hey

Downwell is about going down a well. Good game, good name.

Downwell is a really simple but fun Rougelike. Runs go by really fast and it really feels rewarding the further down you go as more mechanics get introduced. The combo system is really nice incentivization to chain enemy kills together and feels really good to get huge chain numbers. I love how the only direction to go is down, leaving only your fast thinking skills to get you to the final boss.

One of my all time favourite games! It's a great example of 'easy to learn, hard to master'.

Fun game! I never played for very long, but it's nice to just hop into if you feel like it. Almost like a mobile game, but it's actually good.

Amazing Game. The Upgrades are a bit too RNG-Based though.

Un jeu très bien pour faire une petite partie et juste se relaxer, un bon niveau de difficulté juste dommage qu'il n'y ai pas plus de varietés en terme d'améliorations et surtout dommage du manque de support de Steam Cloud :/

I LIKE IT. what a great game to pass time or even just grind out. love it love it.

Better than Marvel Rivals 10/10.

As fun as i remember

shoot some fuckin dastardly spirits

This game was like two cents. I dont even remember buying ngl.

Fun game, beat it after around four hours of playtime after grinding for all of the achievements and am still grinding to beat hard mode. Nice artstyle, tough but not too hard and the upgrades encourage you to approach levels in different ways. A must play for any gamer who likes arcade style games.

Prime example of a game that is easy to learn, but difficult to master. After thirty plus hours, I still haven't beaten it on hard mode, and I don't even mind. It's also a great "no commitment" game that you can just throw on for a few minutes (or hours) now and again without having to worry about starting a new campaign or anything like that.

Well made Game Maker game with neat game play and visuals and SFX etc.

spawn, die, retry, good gameplay, friendly shop keeper, Awesome game ! :D

Fun game to kill some time quickly or grind away roguelike

The game feels like a 2010 mobile game, and i love it.

maybe im just old. mechanics aren't tight enough for me and too imprecise.

Very fun game that is well worth the full price!

I would recommend this game only if you like a challenge, even then only in short bursts as it can be most annoying.

After getting every achievement, I can safely say that is game is worth every cent. All 324 of them

this game makes me feel so sigma and then a STUPID FUCKING CRAB comes out of no where and RUINS MY FUCKING LIFE.

but otherwise this game is awesome

It's like if Spelunky was a good game and not trash (like Spelunky).

Very satisfying tight controls. So charming and fun, I especially love stomping on enemies that can be stomped on after evading them chasing me for a bit. Love the style, sounds, everything!

This game is really good as a mobile game, but other than the price, it's not worth playing on desktop.

Simple concept, near perfect execution. Incredible game for what it costs.

Cool game

This game is not easy

Amazing Game. Worth every bit of 3$ and more.

Simple and elegant. Very challenging, particularly in hard mode. The movement and combat is hard to master, but immensely satisfying. Part of the skill lies in racking up combos- killing enemies without touching the ground. Depending on how many you kill you could be rewarded with gems, charge (bullets) and/or health.
I am still trying to beat hard mode- I have got the boss down to the last few hp, but couldn't quite pull it off.

the movement and acceleration is inconsistent, hit boxes on the side are awful, and it's an endlessly frustrating roguelike with mediocre power-ups. i gave this game a good hour, got to about stage 3, and on a reset was about to slam my keyboard after i died on stage 1 to a fucking bat not realizing i was above its head. not worth the "skill ceiling" or however you justify the mechanics. i think the concept is really cool and there are a lot of good ideas but playing the game is rage bait.

A short game where you go down a well and use your Gunboots to shoot enemies as you continually descend. Simple, right?

The difficulty (and main draw) of this game stems from the amazing combo system which allows you to rack up bonuses the more enemies you kill without touching the ground. With limited ammo this might seem really problematic, but ammo is refilled upon jumping on an enemies head. This leaves the player the choice of either going for a riskier play to jump on an enemy (and risk getting hit by something else) or just burst them down and be on their merry way. I myself have gotten hit because I spent too much time bouncing on enemies that I didn't notice I was getting chased by a skull above me.

Add in the many types of guns and the various gameplay altering upgrades Welltaro can obtain and you have yourself somewhat of an "anti-platformer" where you have to try and AVOID the ground to make the most of your time.

There's also plenty replay value since hard mode gets unlocked when you beat the game for the first time. There's also color palletes and different characters to choose from that alter gameplay in some way.

Overall, would recommend everybody to at least try this wonderful classic, especially since it's only 3 bucks.

good!
