Sidescrollers have always been great. It's a well-known formula for challenge and fun. Now here comes Downwell making a 90 degree turn to bring you a "downscroller". It's addictive as it is satisfying, challenging your reflexes and decision making at every jump.

You control a little dude with gunboots which allows you to fend off the enemies. There are various upgrades to choose from and shops. The levels are generated randomly (afaik) within their own theme which adds to the variety and challenge (for example catacombs 1 doesn't look exactly the same twice in a row). You collect gems as means of currency and also to be able to unlock new modes and color palettes.

In summary, I can say this game is a fun, addictive downscroller and at 3e it's a steal.
