A fast paced shooter with responsive and challenging gameplay, differing from other games in the genre in that instead of flying up vertically or moving sideways, as the name implies you're falling down a well. It might not sound as much, but this gives Downwell an original spin with your character using his gunboots to navigate while falling at breakneck speeds.

It has a lot in common with other roguelite shooters, with its procedurally generated levels and finding/buying random upgrades as you go.

Rounding it all off Downwell is presented with a minimalistic art and sound design that somehow manages to appeal to me with its 3 colour palette and chiptune music.

If you like retro shooters or are just in the mood for some nostalgia, Downwell comes strongly recommended. Oh, and it only costs like €2.
