    Fun, quite addicting and cheap. It's very satisfying pulling of long combos, maybe a bit too much

    Simple roguelike game but with unique gameplay where you have to just keep going down. Normal mode was well, normal. I'm having a lot more fun in hard mode. The ending was unexpected but I'd do it too.

    Downwell is a *vertical side-scrolling roguelike that is determined to ruin your day by forcing u to git gud to an otherwise plain&simple gameplay : go down the well with ur gun boots and kill or be killed by monsters. Not a fan of the traditional roguelike genre where ur progress reset to zero, cus it makes me mad, but this game does this even better by giving me some gross looking palettes as i continually torture…
