About this game

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!

Ratings and reviews

This is a really good time killer that you can pick up and put down fast, but I've had a few issues that have persisted over the years I've been playing. Many times it will randomly stop taking inputs for a moment, or act like I'm holding a button down when I'm not. It also sometimes just freezes and ends the run. YMMV because maybe it's my phone, but it's been a consistent problem across many android versions. The game is unforgiving, which would be fine if the controls were consistent.

I love supporting indie games :3 some minor critiques: the controls are a bit weird to use, I find it would be more natural to have the character move based on which direction your touch is moving rather than buttons. your thumbs also naturally cover up a large portion of the lower half of the screen so the ability to move where the controls are would be nice.

This is amazing! After several months, I managed to beat this. It is tons of fun. I do have a complaint aboout the controls. Sometimes, I press a button and it doesn't register. Other times, let go of the jump/shoot button, and have my other thumb on one of the move buttons, but it actually shoots. Oh, and sometimes it freezes in the level transitions. And the Timeout upgrade plays funny with the boss :P But, other than that, it absolutely rocks. <3
