About
Downwell is a curious game about a young man with guns for boots venturing down a well in search of untold treasures. Make your way further and further down into a darkness filled with nasty creatures and mysterious secrets and collect the spectacular red gems scattered about the rocks. Step into an oddly placed shop to buy some helpful items or level up between caverns to battle well dwelling monsters and uncover hidden caves filled with riches and relics. No two trips down the well are ever the same!
What is happening now
Downwell is a vertically scrolling shooter-platformer that tasks players with descending through an endless well while battling enemies and collecting power-ups. The game's tight controls and arcade sensibilities made it a standout indie release across multiple platforms since 2015. Recent news has centered on Ojiro Fumoto, the developer behind Downwell, and his subsequent mobile project Poinpy. The quirky platformer, which challenges players to climb upward using limited bounces, has been re-released as a free title. The move underscores Fumoto's continued presence in mobile gaming following Downwell's success.
