Finally, the world’s first Well type game

Downwell: *exists*

It reminds me of Rainworld mixed with Noita

Can we just appreciate how surreal it is to see Dunkey's logo on an Official Nintendo of America video. So proud of ma boi 😊

i dont want to appreciate it, i only want to see pictures of spider man

SUPA MARIO BROTHAS 2 BAYBEEEEE

[@CrossfacePanda]

This is the perfect example of a game drawing your attention with a strong visual identity, and selling you on it with (seemingly) appealing gameplay.

[@SilverKiwi_YT]

@@PaulPlayof all the games this is similar to, terraria is not high up on the list. It definitely seems a lot more like rain world

[@PaulPlay]

@@SilverKiwi_YT wouldn't say so. Yoyo's remind me of terraria, so does the art style and some of the sound effects, especially the explosions, are very very reminiscent of terraria's sound design. But it for sure took some inspo from rain world als well

[@bigmodebestmode]

@@PaulPlayexplosions and yo-yo = terraria? the entire game SCREAMS rain world, unsure how you drew that terraria conclusion. and i have 1000 hours in terraria… almost nothing similar other than pixel art 🤣

Can’t believe this is how far the donkey Kong series has come

[@MrJacobHart]

Yo guys, this is my boy Dunkers new game, you might not have heard of him, but support the little guy if you can. He tried to be a KZbinr, but I guess that didnt work out, so this is like his backup plan.

[@_Mutt_]

Hope he makes it fr 🙏🏻

[@ryanv4ughan]

he didn’t make the game

[@DesignFrameCaseStudies]

Dunkey didn't make it. He's publishing it.

[@theelusivepootisberd7471]

Wow...a comment actually related to the video. Thank you

[@DatWingMan]

@@theelusivepootisberd7471It’s hard to get that with Dunkey viewers, it’s like they’re all in a competition to see how many call backs and references they can push out into each comment section relating to Dunkey. You get used to it after a while

[@robinHobin]

It's like half and half I have mostly just seen people praising the game​@@theelusivepootisberd7471

[@desertratmatt]

Love the scanlines. This is how retro-inspired games should look.

[@lel1103]

Maybe not "should". This uses a proprietary engine which is why it can look like this, that and not every game should look the same.

[@lel1103]

You could also argue it's more "modern" and less "retro-authentic", it still looks great though.

[@lel1103]

Also dismissing the work of others for no reason isn't cool.

[@lel1103]

You are obligated to respond otherwise you admit you don't care about games.

[@ralom2616]

You should answer.

I hope Beeg Yoshi is in this game. I’m sure he’s just sittin there.

A- a- aaaaah.

still waiting for bowser’s big bean burrito 2

[@Sokobansolver]

Immediate positive first impression just from the graphics alone.

[@sox9647]

I play tested this at PAX East, and I can’t wait for this game. So nice to see something fresh and exciting to play. You can see the effort that went into this game everywhere between audio, visuals, gameplay.. awesome. Can’t wait.

[@Sm4shy1337]

Rainworld vibes

[@mechmaster-so4hr]

Agreed

[@RobinsMusic]

Yeah

[@American_TrashcanNSH]

My thoughts exactly.

[@Terranigma23]

Yeah, but it's clearly not the same gameplay. Animal Well is more "find all the secret that we hide in the game" + Metroidvania. You have to interact with the environnement. Something will act differently if you use this item or not.

[@pablopereyra7126]

Playing as a lil guy? Check Big animals trying to kill you? Check Procedural animation? Check Yeah I can see it

[@Gamemaster64]

It's crazy how awesome this looks. Can't wait for release

[@grainyanus]

It’s so surreal to see a game that Dunkey is affiliated with show up on the official Nintendo channel

[@SamOlsonBassman]

Finally the fans get their long-awaited sequel to Welltris

[@scottydont2549]

Can’t wait to play this with a blindfold on.

yeah a lot of games looking like they are colored in only highlight markers or crayons but this game looking more like good old dark mode.

[@berndo3038]

Has to be an insane feeling growing up, loving Nintendo games to then develop/publish a game hosted on and advertised by their platform. Great job Shared Memory and BIGMODE, keep it up. Proud of you.

[@Winford.Studios]

The first open well type game 🐸

ANIMAL WELL BAYBEEEEE

[@greathorn]

It’s weird that Dunkey fans have sort of retroactively become Animal Well fans but hopefully it means more people will try the game out!

[@fishyperil2153]

well it does look good. a really interesting take on a metroidvania tbh

[@yourehereforthatarentyou]

that’s not what retroactively means

[@mechanicalmonk2020]

They might buy it, but most aren't going to play it. This will be a para social success.

I would love to have a level editor for this game built in or as a future update.

[@dawsontrolard9386]

I gotta say, I never would've looked into this game if dunkey hadnt been publishing it, but im so glad he is because it looks freaking awesome!

[@MrOpz]

This is what indie games are about. I had this on my Steam Wishlist for quite some time already. Looking very forward to it!

[@ksrhys-]

I recall that the guy who made this game made an entirely new engine from the ground up just for it. Which is outstanding to me. I'll definitely be trying to play this one just to see how different it feels compared to other games as a result of this. It's looking real cool already!

[@mechanicalmonk2020]

It's so good for Dunkey to back such a previously unknown game. By the time he got involved it had only had one extremely high profile article about it.

[@GlazeonthewickeR]

Sounds like I’ll need to play this for the soundtrack alone, these visuals are simply breathtaking as well.
