How does your game fit the theme?
Dive deep into the underworld and slay the monsters in your path. It also dives deeper into Downwell's design.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, everything besides the music. Also because Downwell was the inspiration I got to give Ojiro Fumoto some credit.

A dynamic, fast-paced old-school game that's very well done!
The only thing you can regret is finishing it so quickly! But in just one week, I salute the work!
Well done, I don't know the original game but this one is clean and neat!
Thanks! Definitely give Downwell a try sometime, it’s an amazing game!
Hey! I made a top ten video of the games from this jam. (Spoiler alert, this game is in it)
If you like the video, please feel free to share it :)
Check it out!
Thanks for featuring my game! That makes me really happy :)
Pretty fun, dynamic game. Well done!
incredible game the katana UI is a really good idea and the music and pixel art style are just so cool great job!
Nice game. Dynamic music and light mechanics. Would like more colors)
good jod
Managed to win in sub 30 seconds. Great graphics, great audio, really fun gameplay, fun twist on the original, well done really!
Thanks for playing, that's faster than I can beat it haha
You managed to emulate the feelling and design of Downwell really competently! Great job! (music's really dope too)
Excellent little gem of a game. Nice tight gameplay. Everything is consistent. Lots of fun.
Every part of that game is hardcore and awesome. Great Job!
Great game! The controls, visuals, and audio are all awesome.
Lovely little Downwell tribute with a spin! great visuals and music... Just with it was a bit longer.
I really enjoyed this game although i got stuck a lot of times and it could be longer
I really enjoyed the katana aspect of this downwell variant. I would add that I got stuck from time to time on the sliceable blocks and I really wanted to jump with the space key :)
A very fun take on downwell.
Very well done take on Downwell, not much to say other than it would have been cool to see some progression or upgrades to play with on successive trips down. Plenty of room for additional content down the line, this is a very good base to work from.
I absolutely love the visuals! The artstyle is awesome and the color palette is simple but effective! Had a lot of fun with this one, just wish it was longer.
I like the retro-style sound and graphics, and I like how using the sword has a lot of impact to it! I also like the change of pace from the standard underwater diving to cavern diving. Makes yours stand out more!
i like downwell and being the weeb that i am adding katanas to it is just awesome.
