Really cool, but I wonder, why not lean more into your twist (go down, platforms break, then climb) and let go of the downwell downwards shot?
Unfortunately I would have to rewrite all mechanics that react to bullets (which is all of them), effectively making an entirely new game.
I'm not against making a new game, but I feel like I should finish up here or at least make something small that isn't a platformer.
oh of course I mean, I wasn't asking why not redo half the game XD but more like, what made you stick to that same idea, as I think this game could stand on its own without it
nice, i like it! 😁
the new update adds a lot of challenge. I've had this come up a couple times and can't get past it.
Thanks for letting me know. I've uploaded a hotfix that addresses the issue:

Gotta love the fact that it took like 4 months to finally add sfx
Took awhile to get used to the keys overall fun and challenging
I like it! Constantly dying but having a good time
downwell2

Alternating playing with my nephew, really fun. We die a lot though ;p
incredible game as always. st33d elevates we ignorant itchers.

Great job avoiding all the upgrades.
I'll make them a bit more colourful.
Looking forward to seeing how this develops. A little bit Downwell, a little bit Probability 0.
