That's fantastic to hear, downwell is such a simple game but a really great way to lose a few hours to doing new runs with new upgrades. Really happy for its creator.
Nice acquisition. Curios to see what he'll make next.
Makes sense. The gameplay-above-all mentality of Downwell is perfectly suited for Nintendo.
Strange statement to make about a game that got much of its publicity thanks to the art style and not the gameplay.
Art style is usually more visually apparent than gameplay.
Doesn't exist the media emphasis on the art style.
Excuse*
For me it was a gameplay-centric game. I couldent give a rat's ass what critics say, when I played the game for more than 20 hours.
