Please note! This game has some flashing, mainly whenever the boss turns up to be a bother. Please be wary of this as you watch!

Something on my "12 For 12" challenge I decided to take up on Bluesky, this month I chose Downwell. It took some learning to understand how best to approach the game, and once I realised that combos give +HP and +AMMO? Well, by that point it was a case of finding out how best to stay airborne and then hammering at the enemies as I delved deep to complete this li'l guy's task. Apparently not too many people have beaten this game who started it, if Steam is correct - 8.1%, just under 1-in-12 people succeeded in winning the mission!

The resolution of this game is really strange - at 1x scale, it's one pixel off from 4:3 and 3:4 (depending on if you play landscape or portrait) and it has a non-standard resolution beyond that, so this may well look strange on Youtube. I may try a Hard Mode run in portrait mode for a more entertaining video for the mobile viewers.
