Audio Change
Please let us turn off game volume, not just music. I play while listening to audio books and YouTube videos; having to listen to the upgrade/pause/general sounds that pierce my mf ears.
100% a Desert Island Pick
I’ve been playing this game on and off for about a decade and it just keeps you coming back. If I had to take 5 games to a desert island this would absolutely make the list
Good Game
It has consumed my life. That’s a good sign!
Could use an update
The game is very addictive and interesting to play. It’s a solid arcade game that I’d recommend anyone to play.
Although, I can’t give it 5 stars because it could use some updates. Such as improving the hit boxes that way it feels less inconsistent when colliding with enemies while shooting or stomping on them.
Along with more styles to choose from or making certain guns more common if you favor one option heavily. Also, some other options within the shop would be nice.

This Game is Great: please let me turn of sound effects
Game is a banger, no notes, I just want to second screen this game and cannot because the sound effects are so loud and annoying.
Designedwell
Downwell is a masterclass of game design, and the best game you’ll find on iPhone.
Some of the best games are ones where the initial complexity is low, but the depth is enormous. This is called “elegance”. Downwell takes one primary action — shooting with your gun boots — and builds the entire experience around it. Everything from maintaining momentum, hitting enemies, getting combos, and staying in the air is tied to this one action.
The pixel art and animation are endearing, and the soundtrack is phenomenal. You’re able to unlock new color palettes by collecting gems, and that one factor alone makes Downwell endlessly replayable.
I only have one small criticism, that there isn’t a separate toggle for music and sound effects. Sometimes I want to play with my own music with sound effects turned on, and Downwell lets you do that! But other times I want to play Downwell while listening to a podcast but I can’t hear the podcast over the sound effects, and there’s no option to fix this.

Great Game, Minor Control Issues
Downwell, setting aside previous reviews, is a really good game. It runs perfectly on mobile, is comfortable, and easy to understand, which makes it very accessible for any player.
It would be interesting if, once you unlock a level, there were an option to start from that point or restart from zero. Still, I understand that this is part of the creator’s vision.
My only complaint is the controls: they feel somewhat small and too close together, which can be uncomfortable at times. Including an option to adjust their size or reposition them would greatly improve the experience.
That’s why I’m giving it 4 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Супер
Игра отличная, очень залипательная. За палитру гейм боя спасибо 😁
Super fun game, please fix notch issue
I tried this game on my free month of Apple Arcade, I realized I mostly only played this one so I got the paid version. I realized that on this version the notch form my iPhone 14 Pro is covering part of the hp bar and gem box. I went back to the + version on Apple Arcade and saw it wasn’t an issue there and the game fit normally. It’s a per peeve but a small update wouldn’t hurt to fix this. Otherwise super addictive and fun gameplay loop!

Great game but really needs a mute button
Love playing this game as a little time killer. My only issue is that it's completely unplayable if I want to listen to music at the same time. You can mute the background music but the sounds aren't able to be muted. Please add that as an option!
An all time classic game
The fact that this game was made for mobile is astounding. This is definitely one of the best indie games and best arcade style games ever made. The game design is just topnotch and the graphics and sound design are phenomenal. It’s a tough game, especially in the beginning. But once you get the hang of it and are able to beat it, it becomes so satisfying to play. I have this on mobile and switch and fine the mobile version to be the one I go to way more often.
Now, my only hope is that they continue to support this game over time. I play on iPhone 17 pro and do experience framerate issues that I wish would be ironed out.
Additionally I would love if they added the achievements that are available on console versions of this game.
But these things aside, amazing game that is just perfect for IPhone.

Cool game please add d pad to mobile or an easier swipe gesture my thumbs hurt
Best of the Best
Difficult but fair, and well worth the money. Genuinely the best experience I have had on the App Store. No ads or in app purchases. Just dropping down a well.
Bien mais pas sur iPhone
Très bon jeu mais presque impossible de jouer correctement sans joystick. Pas adapté à un iPhone ou un iPad sans joystick.
理不尽な意味での難しさ
クリアしたが、ゲームとしては荒削りという印象。
難易度が高いゲームなのは分かるが、それが操作性や当たり判定、序盤から上から迫ってくる敵などによるものが残念。足場も弾で消えてしまうため、恐る恐る降りるしかなく、爽快感は皆無で不愉快さの方が大きい。
また、スマホには最適化されておらず、下を見るゲームなのに指で隠れて見えないという有様。
ただ、キャラクターや細かな演出は非常によく、ゲームデザインやコンセプトの完成度はとてつもなく高い。ゲームバランスやゲーム体験があれば、より一層良かったのではないかと思う。

最高です。
何年か前に買って、その時はクリア出来なかったのですが、数年越しでまたハマって最後までいけました。前も本当に面白いなと思っていましたが今やっても最高に面白いです。
もしこのデベロッパーの新作や別のゲームがあったらぜひプレイしたいです。

時には熱中し、時には馬鹿馬鹿しくなり、付き離れを繰り返しやっとハードモードクリア
もはや相棒という何ふさわしいゲーム
