The original Yooka-Laylee game was a spiritual successor to the Banjo-Kazooie series, but its homage to classic 3D platforming came up short because the genre hasn’t experienced much growth over the last few decades. The $3 price makes Downwell a steal, but you should splurge for the Flip Grip to play Downwell comfortably with a vertical orientation.

On Switch, it’s a perfect game for quick bursts in handheld mode.

A round of Downwell can last anywhere from seconds to a handful of minutes, depending on your skill level. Basically, no matter what you have in your arsenal, you’re always facing an uphill battle (ironic, huh?). Power-ups are rewarded at the bottom of each stage, but each level ups the challenge. With guns attached to your boots that only recharge when you touch the ground safely, it’s a constant battle between the offensive and defensive. As a rogue-like, each time you make your descent, the layout of the well changes. Avoiding obstacles, enemies, and projectiles is an arduous endeavor that forces you to think and move on the fly. Since you’re falling at a rapid pace, you would think you’re already ahead of the game, right? Not so fast. Rendered in black and white, the premise is simple: Make it to the bottom. Downwell, a game about a man falling down a well in a park, has been available since 2015 on mobile devices.
