Landing on the ground, an enemy, or a doodad (rocks, torches, shells etc.) reloads your weapon to full. Your character builds combos by killing multiple enemies over time without landing. If you take nothing else from this guide, learn how to combo. Combos are the first and final trick you need to learn. To survive in this horrific and unforgiving well of nightmares, you're going to need to take advantage of a few tricks. SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND: COMBOS Floaty will help with learning to combo, but eventually you gotta take those wheels off and let yourself fall.literally. You can start with Floaty Style if you've unlocked it, but typically I think it's best to force yourself to get used to the normal speed of the game as Floaty is essentially training wheels. I'll be focusing on the Usual Style, which I recommend that most people use to beat the game with. This is intended for newer players who might be struggling with certain areas of the game. The following information is simply my own personal tips and suggestions that I have found to be successful. This is not the be-all-end-all strategy to beat this game, nor is it a "definitive" guide. TAKE NOTE: This is just my PERSONAL guide. I'll mainly be uncovering my personal tips and ways of thinking to help the game feel a little easier. Most of the basic game information can be found here or on the Wiki, so I won't go into deep detail of everything. Quarantine got me stir crazy to make this. I've never written any kind of game guide before, so bear with me. Over the years I have come up with several tips and tricks to help me beat the game consistently. I now beat it for fun at least once a day. It took me about 3 years, but I finally beat every style on both Normal and Hard mode. "Playing Downwell again?" "Yup." I think by now he just stopped asking. My music partner from my band Arcade High knows exactly what I'm doing as I sit silently behind him in the studio. I have played way too many hours on this game. Added another GIF example for World 1 on defeating hidden Bats. Added a section to clarify the overall guide as well as a section expanding and clarifying combos. If you value your eyesight, I wouldn’t play on those for too long.Updated 5/13/20: Cleaned up grammar and general mistakes. Some palettes are slight variations from the original, while others are blindingly bright. The play styles have features such as starting with more hit points, only finding certain item or powerup types, changing the shop availability, and so on. As you stack up playtime, you can unlock different play styles and color palettes. However, besides the game’s enablement and the desire to progress, there were incentives. This may have factored into my marathon playing. When you spawn again, it’s effortless to think “well, maybe just one more time.” It subconsciously encourages you to keep trying. It essentially forces you to begin a new game before you can close it. You are literally unable to quit the game right after you die the only options available are “Retry,” “Style Select,” and “Surface.” Retry restarts the game at the first level, and Surface takes you back to the park… where you jump down into the well and restart the game at the first level. One unique design decision is the menu setup. Powerups come in many forms, such as this little drone that follows you around. Your total hit points start out very low, and the bar cannot be substantially increased, adding to the game’s difficulty. There are offshoot rooms you can find in each level that may contain health, increases to your charge meter, stores, or gems to use at those stores. This game is a roguelike, with randomly generated levels and randomized end-of-level upgrades. You’re able to bump up both your hit points and your charge capacity with items you discover or buy. You have to land on a platform (or a midair enemy) for them to fully recharge. The boots run on charges, so you can’t just shoot to your heart’s content. Some monster types are harder to kill than others, so you’re kept constantly on your toes, deciding whether you should dodge, shoot, or stomp. They help you control your fall, blast through some foes, and crush others under your feet. Your only weapon in the world is your trusty pair of gunboots. Downwell is pretty easy to get a grasp of, but challenging to play. The controls are shown in the beginning, so it’s all pretty straightforward. The types of monsters and obstacles you face change with each area. There are four different areas, with a set of three levels in each. Though there’s only one direction you can go, there’s much to explore.
