Downwell is a vertical roguelike shooter where you fall down a well with guns strapped to your boots. You descend through procedurally generated caverns, shooting downward to kill enemies and slow your fall. Red gems dropped by creatures let you buy upgrades in shops wedged into the well's walls. Between stages, you pick one of three level-up perks that shift your playstyle—more ammo, extra health, or combo bonuses. Each run randomizes enemy placement, shop locations, and hidden side caves containing rare items. The core tension: balancing aggressive downward shooting (which reloads your gun-boots) against safe falling. Runs are short but deaths are permanent. It's built for players who like tight arcade action and don't mind restarting often.
