Fantastic game on PC! And this is a great port of it with no compromises. But it has buggy controller support and is forced Portrait mode. For me, across two different phones, I could get controllers to work by doing some voodoo magic. EG: I open the game with one controller connected, press start, confirm that one doesnt work, then connect a second controller. 100% of the time, that one works. For my Gamesir X2S, I start the game with a Bluetooth controller connected, then slot my phone in.

Good game. Played through this on Steam years ago. Picked it up on mobile since its included with the Play Pass. I challenged myself and completed this mobile version of Downwell despite the touchscreen controls. Expect to move left when you want to move right, not jump when you want to jump, not shoot when you want to shoot, vice versa. There are limited control options that make the playability slightly more manageable. Otherwise, most of the game you're fighting the controls.

Seems like it would be fun if it controlled well, but for some reason left screen taps are left, but right screen taps are jump/shoot, and you actually have to tap middle to go right. I couldn't find any option to swap middle/right or change to swipe controls. I'd even prefer tilt controls over middle = right. The only "control" customization I could find is to hide the virtual buttons.
