Really amazing game!!!

I'm just going to say I haven't fully played this game, I got it a few days ago and (Maybe it just me) but this game is hard!!! But that and a whole lot of other things makes me really like it, like the fact there is no story, or that there are different gun upgrades that help you change the type of gun you have or when you get an extra 4 health you get 1 more health point, And it's really addicting. Totally recommend it!!!
Incredible

This is one of the best games I've ever played on my phone. The novel approach of a platformer in a constant descent brings up some great aspects to gameplay, like physics based combos where you leap from enemy to enemy, in a ballet of destruction. This game is easy to play but challenging to beat. And after you beat it the first time you unlock hard mode, which unsurprisingly, is very hard. There is an incredible attention to detail in the pixelated animations and physics. I played this over and over for many months and still find it entertaining and challenging.

It keeps making my phone restart when I plug my phone in. My phone is fine when I delete the app
Bought this on iOS and steam

This game is freaking addicting! Unlocking and playing all the different color pallets reminds me of playing 90's GB and GBC games. Favorite is the black and red scheme though. It just seems easier to see gems and such. Really fun game! I flat out hate a couple weapon types, but the first gun actually holds up well as long as you increase its capacity, so it's more of A personal observation than A complaint. I think it's easier to play on iOS, but I did play it for two months on iOS before getting the PC version. It just has A more fluid feel to it control-wise.
Don't listen to the bad reviews

Totally worth the price. I haven't made it past the caverns yet but it's very challenging and very fun. Buy it... like now.
Reasonably good for the price

I'm not certain this game is deserving of the praise it's received. It's good value for the price, but I grew tired of it quickly. I enjoy the concept, the art style is nice, and the audio and music enhance the experience. If you want to enjoy about 8 hours of roguish gameplay for a reasonable price, pick this game up. Great? Good. Now here's what I don't like: • The game doesn't save its sate in the background. If you have to switch apps and Downwell is pushed out of memory by the OS, you lose your progress. This is inexcusable for a mobile game. • When I play a roguelite, I expect to have a drive to unlock things that could potentially help me finish the game (see Wayward Souls, Binding of Isaac, Rogue Legacy). I want that, "Oh, that's new. Wonder what it does?" experience. None of that in Downwell. There's a dozen upgrades and around 8 gun modules. You end up unlocking "styles" that barely make a difference on gameplay. Big whoop. • Because you have little control over your trajectory, a single mistake is *very* punishing. • The controls really should be at the top. • The controls sometimes don't work. I've absolutely had instances where I put my finger on the Go Left button, and the little dude doesn't go left. I look at my finger resting on the screen, look at my dude not going left, and just stop playing.
