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.

The game is absolutely awesome, but it has too many downsides for the Mobile Port. 1. The app hasn't been updated since 2023 which means no more updates whether for better or worse. 2. The game freezes often when passing levels making it frustrating to play to the end. 3. The controls are absolutely rancid. You're going down and without controller support, your thumbs will prevent you from seeing anything until it's too late which is the bane of speedrunners. 4. Why is this Pay to Own?

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
