★★★★★ Love Downwell, and the extra screen real estate of an iPad makes sense for it, but unfortunately there's no way to reposition the buttons so they fit where your thumbs fall.
★★★★★ When I say faulty control scheme, I don't mean dropped inputs or lack of responsiveness, but rather a failure of design.

Premise is fun. Can’t get over controls. Trying to run them jump hardly ever works, you just fall, due to the buttons being in weird spots with no customization. This leads to excess damage taken, and short runs. Nah
When I connect Bluetooth controller(turtle beach atom) it wont stop going right. If I press left it will go left, but when not pressing/holding left it goes back right. On screen it showing animation of right button being pressed. Other than that: Love the game, chef kiss.
Please let us turn off game volume, not just music. I play while listening to audio books and YouTube videos; having to listen to the upgrade/pause/general sounds that pierce my mf ears.
I’ve been playing this game on and off for about a decade and it just keeps you coming back. If I had to take 5 games to a desert island this would absolutely make the list
It has consumed my life. That’s a good sign!
The game is very addictive and interesting to play. It’s a solid arcade game that I’d recommend anyone to play. Although, I can’t give it 5 stars because it could use some updates. Such as improving the hit boxes that way it feels less inconsistent when colliding with enemies while shooting or stomping on them. Along with more styles to choose from or making certain guns more common if you favor one option heavily. Also, some other options within the shop would be nice.
