It's so simple, yet SO MUCH FUN! This beats the HELL out of most AAA games, today. It's high speed action, decision making, and roguelike elements make Downwell insanely replayable. The sound effects are punchy and the soundtrack is great. Once you enter a flow-state, there's not much like it.
Basically a perfect video game, and honestly, to be honest, if I'm gonna be honest: it's probably the best game about falling down a well really fast.
Very challenging and skill rewarding game, the color pallete variations are lovely and the concept is very fun to play around.
