Downwell

Released by Moppin in 2015. A super arcadey game about falling down a well with gunboots. Might be described as “roguelite” since there are a bunch of upgrades, but really it's so “lite” we should just call it arcade. The key gimmick is a combo system - the more enemies you can stomp without landing somewhere, the more points you get. Much of the challenge is that it's fast and twitchy, and it's difficult to see what's coming up. Also on iOS the touch controls take some getting used to. Good retro aesthetic with a bunch of optional palette swaps.
