## What is Downwell+?

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!

### 4/5 — Really good! (but there’s a but)

*2026-08-13, version 1.0.2*

The game is really amazing. I haven’t played it in a bit, but although it doesn’t have a tutorial it does not need one, it’s really beautifully simple.
But…
The damned bats are too many / too overpowered.
They spawn a lot, especially in Caverns. Which is the only stage I’ve been on.
Because of the bats.
Incredible execution, but the bats are annoying and are FAR too easy to be caught by.

### 5/5 — machine gun go brrrrr

*2026-07-05, version 1.0.2*

cool game though. theres multiple guns and like alot of upgrades. wish there was a faster progression mode though.

### 5/5 — I LOVE DOWNWELL

*2026-06-27, version 1.0.2*

DOWNWELL THANK YOU I’ve spent so much time on this game that I can’t blast through all of it without getting hit but it’s still fun

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2026-06-25, version 1.0.2*

BEST GAME EVER

### 1/5 — コウモリがクソさを出してる

*2026-06-19*

まじでコウモリの追尾性が良すぎるしスピードが速いライフの半分はコウモリにやられてる

### 1/5 — Am I handicapped or something

*2026-05-27, version 1.0.2*

I can’t get passed the 3rd level. I have played games my entire life and never felt like a game was ment for some kid with lightning quick reflexes. A game shouldn’t be this difficult to play. Am I just that much of a noob I can’t get passed the first dungeon. I would think so?! Yet I’m stuck on constantly plunging into level 1-3 over and over again.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-25, version 1.0.2*

So this game is really difficult and that’s what makes it fun awesome game great and simple controls played for maybe two or three years but Genuinly (trying not to spoil anything for others reading this) not expecting what happens on abyss-1 still died but had a blast on it (pun intended) I don’t understand why people leave bad reviews on games for the difficulty skill issue to be honest. One more thing most people fail to realize how much easier the game is if you become a pro at the game getting use to using the floaty style

### 1/5 — Like Mario, but bad

*2026-05-21, version 1.0.2*

It your basic 2d platformer with a twist: none of the hitboxes are coded correctly. Half the time you bounce on a goomba’s (read bats) it damages you instead of you damaging it!

Rare L from Devolver, definitely skip this one!

### 5/5 — Can you please change the age rating?

*2026-04-29, version 1.0.2*

Monkey Island really needs a age rating change. Can you change the age rating 9 year old? Oh it also make sure to change the age rating of the plus version.

### 5/5 — Really fun!

*2026-04-25, version 1.0.2*

Its very addictive! not too hard, but not too easy also! I hope to see more updates from this game :)
