Description
Downwell is a curious game about a young person venturing down a well in search of untold treasures with only his Gunboots for protection. Make your way further and further down into the darkness filled with nasty creatures and mysterious secrets to collect the spectacular red gems scattered about the rocks. Step into precariously placed shops and buy some helpful items or level up between levels to battle well-dwelling monsters and uncover hidden caves filled with riches and relics. No two trips down the well are ever the same!

The Amazing Gunboots - The fashionable and lethal Gunboots allow players to unleash a torrent of firepower on the nasty creatures dwelling in the well and slow your decent with each shot.

Unique Weapons & Items - Get different weapons, shop for peculiar items and obtain powerful upgrades that all stack and affect the way you play!

A New Adventure Every Time - Each level in Downwell is procedurally generated, so no two trips down the well are ever the same providing a fresh new adventure each time!

It takes a damn good game to stop me from pooping, and Downwell had me in its thrall as I desperately needed that crap. Desperately.

Don't let appearances deceive you - Downwell's retro chic aesthetic is the wrapper for an incredibly deep, satisfying game.

The action is entertaining, but the incentive to complete run after run isn't there

The Perfect Mobile Game, Now DRM Free!

Can't believe I've bought this thing like four times and it's only cost me a fraction of a fraction of a AAA priced game. As of writing it's currently on sale for 1.09 CAD, which is absolutely insane to me. I call it the perfect mobile game because of the form factor of that kind of device and how well it synchronizes with the game's downwards platforming, but I prefer flipping my monitor on the side and playing this version of the game in Tate Mode, enabled in the settings. Give it a go, worst case scenario you haven't really lost anything if you dislike it

An unwinding game

I've never played this game for more than maybe 40 minutes at a time. But it's so great for when you just need to throw yourself down into a well.

Why do I love this?

It looks dumb, it looks old; it looks like you need to play it! Much fun. Difficult and addicting in just the right ways.
