“Most of my playtime is on Switch and Mobile. I own this game on almost every platform even though I'm terrible at it. It's just that good. Also works great on vertical displays.”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“i'm rather torn on downwell. aesthetically & sonically it's highly pleasing, and i enjoyed it enough to 100%, although i must say there are only a handful of games which consistently annoy me to this degree. the hard mode in this game simply feels plainly unfair at times -…”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“Its a good short game to play in the middle of something. It has chill gameplay, but they could make the hard difficulty much more difficult if they make it a separate choice 7,5/10”
