Downwell is a curious game about a young boy venturing down a well in search of untold treasures with only his Gunboots to protect him. 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!

Simple, Responsive Controls - Designed for mobile from the ground up, Downwell is presented with intuitive and elegant controls that allow for action-packed gameplay using just three buttons.

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!

Pros and cons of Downwell app for iPhone and iPad

Downwell app good for

Amazing platforming game perfectly designed. Gameplay feeling is just perfect and short plays will make you come for more again and again. Hard but really satisfying, one of the best platforming games on iOS.
Far the best iOS Game Ive played in months!! Highly Addictive....!!!
This sie a really awesome, hard and additive Game with intuitive gameplay. Highly recommended!
One of my favorite games on the iPad right now. Absolutely love the frantic, addicting gameplay. Just the right flow.
Downwell is the most videogame-y videogame Ive played in years. Its also the most fun Ive had with a game in a long time. A must buy.
Its like you turn a 2D shooter upside down, and add roguelike element in it. If you are a fan of roguelike shooting game, here is a great one for you.

Some bad moments

Guys, I know you make awesome soundtracks and sound effects, but the player must be the one to choose if he wants to listen to your game or any other musics, podcast or whatever. Please just enable itunes sound, this is a mobile game.
Im on an iPhone 6S and at some points the controls just wont do anything in the air anymore. Then I get stuck and lose a few lives depending on where I am, because for about 2-3 seconds I can only jump straight. This is extremely frustrating and makes this otherwise amazing game worthless... Also the controls on the iPad are too close to the canvas, making the touch area of the left button too small for me.
The game is sort of fun but playing on a 6s means your finger are going to cover most of the actions plus the buttons are so easy to miss that youll be steering your guy in the wrong direction very often. Poorly executed in my opinion. Must be a blast on pc though
Its fun and a good game but it shouldnt be 3$. Devolver is great but they are really ripping people on this one. Its five dollars on the vita which is a crime.
horrible. unable to play. uncontrolled chaos. control buttons are in the way. poorly designed. I want my money back.
The OLDNCOLD palette isnt showing on my iPhone 5c even though Ive unlocked it.
