Inside the game
THE QUICK INTRODUCTION
What’s it all about?
Downwell makes falling the main direction of travel. Firing from your boots slows the descent, clears threats below and changes where you can land. A safe landing matters because it gives you another opportunity to manage the next section instead of tumbling blindly into it.
Read the space beneath you before committing to a long drop. Upgrades can support a different rhythm on each attempt, while chasing a combo adds risk to an otherwise careful route. PC, Android and iOS editions are available; mobile touch input and desktop controls offer different ways to practise the same compact challenge.
