Takes the side-scroller and flips it on its side! Am I right? Hello? taps mic Is this thing on? Uh... Anyway... Ojiro Fumoto's Downwell is a masterclass in simple, elegant game design, reminiscent of classic '80s arcade games with an inventive new twist. With only two buttons and no instructions necessary, it throws you into a breakneck free-fall that challenges players to avoid damage, rack up combos, and upgrade their weapons and HP as they descend deeper into the well, each new stage offering an escalation in difficulty that forces players to take increasingly big risks. A perfect pick-up-and-play indie that will keep you hooked for hours on end.
