For the sequel, developer Playtonic took a much different approach, switching the game to a sidescrolling perspective that allowed its charm and simplicity to shine more clearly. 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. * Discover secrets abound and gather new weapons and items to help open up new areas on your journey through dozens of handcrafted environments.Downwell, a game about a man falling down a well in a park, has been available since 2015 on mobile devices. * Cautiously venture outside the mech and risk all nine lives to explore areas inaccessible to your bulky, mechanical armor.

* Blast and dash your way through enemies and obstacles in an agile mech suit to face the guardians stationed precariously throughout the base. * Explore the underground labyrinth of a deep space outpost and uncover the dastardly deeds that unfolded before your arrival.
