Let's Look At: Downwell!

[@GamersOff]

WANT SERIES

[@PengwinEllie]

Look at SleepCycles ( aka Big Tam )for a LP

[@GamersOff]

Luc Alfaki already watched it

[@xxThebomb1xx]

+GamersOff WANT SERIES

[@edselcastillo992]

SERIES LOL

[@1133331313131313131]

+GamersOff no pls NL dont do it

[@Hutts]

Bought this on computer. Got addicted. Bought this on my phone. I've never had such stressful poops.

[@BloodSwoord]

This game looks pretty good, a series is a good idea

[@FirstNameLastName-ry2bt]

everyone else already has a series on this, doing that will just make other videos backed up

[@alexanderm.9669]

Agree

[@ApertureMiku]

+First Name Last Name so what? i dont want to see others play it i want to see northernlion play it

[@rakota1967]

+First Name Last Name If he would record it like Isaac (batches) it would literally take an hour or two of his weekly schedule.

[@Gaschdisturbed]

+Rakota It's not like he would put a single run as a video, so it would still take about a half hour per video.

[@Anime9042]

I'm a little late on answering this, but I could see myself watching a short series on this. Maybe 10-15 episodes. It won't be one of the flagships of your channel, but I believe it's worth that much.

[@markmiscellaneous1210]

+Anime9042 Seems too arcadey for a series, but I'd definitely enjoy watching this on the NLSS or a Sunday stream.

[@Diabl0pl]

Let's look at, we meet again. It's been a long time... I've already managed to raise a tree, plant a house and build a son.

[@FirstNameLastName-ry2bt]

and water a wife

[@WarudoWitch]

+Diabl0pl omg that is cool you planted a house

[@RudeMyDude]

+Diabl0pl Plant a house? Build a tree? Kurt Cobain is that you?

[@MrSteveHazzard]

+Rad Corgi Damn, I was just about to make this joke.

[@squirrelnut]

Nirvana reference?

[@MeatNinja]

This does look pretty awesome but I do agree that I really don't see myself watching hundreds of episodes of this.

[@zankaa8031]

+MeatNinja It doesn't have to be hundreds of episodes. I doubt NL would even make hundreds of episodes, even if he really liked the game and the response was overwhelming. Just look at his NT series. Just a little over 100, and it's been running for months.

[@MeatNinja]

Zankaa Yeah you're right, he can totally do a series on this.

[@Cortarian]

+MeatNinja Agreed on all but I think I'd watch a short series on it, just not 100s of episodes.

[@Standardchannel01]

I just dont get why they wanted to make it look like it was created using a potato graphics engine.

[@Cortarian]

Standardchannel01 Easier to design?

[@ElPared]

Just from watching Big Tam's Downwell series I think this could work as a series, especially since I'm a fan of the game myself. I also enjoy hearing Northernlion's perspective on things since it's usually quite different from my own, where Tam's closer to my own play style which makes him a little less entertaining for me (though the Scottish accent makes up for that lost entertainment value, so I still love him haha)

[@HarryModN]

I would love a series of this game, something about it just feels so... perfect for this channel.

[@GivenFailure]

I would watch a series at least for a while.

[@emerald3616]

the reason why song/rythme games are good at flowplay is because patterns help your mind think... the best example i think of is Crypt of the NecroDancer where its literally cut,2,3,back,cut,2,3,back,cut,defeated,grab coins,next enemy,cut,back,cut,gold,next enemy,back,left,left,cut,next enemy,etc... having that rythme can help your mind move while you think like marching and stuff where some do HUT,2,3,4,HUT,2,3,4... it just helps your mind think cause you know when to move next you have a steady pace so you know how long to think for...

[@danebraken7590]

Devolver is getting up there in my favorite dev teams ^.^ I wouldn't mind a series on this, I'd definitely watch it

[@NoCareLuke]

+Dane Braken *Publisher team. @Moppin is the dev. Still, Devolver knows quality when it finds it.

[@gakulon]

+NoCareLuke Hotline Miami seemed to be the boon for them. Really launched their progress into the indie market.

[@sleep3417]

+CreaturePlaysGames broforce though.

[@gakulon]

Burnt Taco Didn't Broforce come out after Hotline Miami? Let me check this. Edit: Hotline Miami was released in 2012, Broforce was released for Early Access in April 2014. Hotline Miami trumps Broforce by two years.

[@sleep3417]

+CreaturePlaysGames i dont get the pojnt of your post, all i tried to say is that i pre purchased broforce and its reakly awesome.

[@RoboGoriClips]

Don't know if NL mentioned it, but that health bar is the fucking Nuclear Throne health bar lol. The only thing different is the border and the color is slightly darker.

[@collasta1]

+GodTierWizard They both use the default Game Maker health bar.

[@RoboGoriClips]

+Collasta Ahhh. Didn't put two and two together.

[@W4rr1orZ]

I'd be very interested in at least a short series NL

[@crytical7]

Once or twice a week maybe.

[@Amins88]

I'll tell you what, you know as well as we do that we watch your videos for the commentary more than the game play itself. It probably wouldn't hurt to start a series and see how it goes. Your own enjoyment of the game will most likely have more of an effect on the quality than anything.

[@saturatedneowax]

pastel is the best palette

[@SuperSymn]

Can I say that this let's look at went down well?

[@ResentItPlays]

I would 100% watch a series on this, it's always great to expand the amount of content on your channel, especially with a game as good as this one.

[@jungchulshin6434]

8:30 You can benefit from HP even if you're at full health - the tiny bar under your HP means overheal, when the bars are filled up you'll get one additional max HP.

[@FaThorNewman]

Yes, PLEASE do a series on this. Love this game. Love it.

[@Mifune41]

After watching the entire vid, I want to see a series of this. At first I thought it was too fast to follow and enjoy, but by the second half of the video I started to see things slowing down and really started to enjoy it.

[@DevinreviewsUK]

Yes, so a series please, looks like a blast

[@DeLePlays]

I've been waiting on this. I knew you'd look at it!

[@DeLePlays]

+DeLePlays Also one vote for you doing this in a series

[@bloopergman]

I think a mini series of this would be nice as a way to explore all the different upgrades you can receive. I could tell from the video the letters for the gun drops from the timevoid caves are the abbreviation the gun specific gun.

[@LeeDee5]

I don't want a series of this since it moves rather quickly and I usually can't get invested in these types of things. It's more streaming-only worthy imo.

[@LeeDee5]

+The Dee Also i'm afraid that if you pick up another series then you might be more likely to dump an on-going series. I'd hate to see something like Prison Architect go, just like you've let go of other things. Let them not be named.

[@gakulon]

I quite like it. I'm into these fast-thinking 2D rougue-lites. Things like Super Crate Box I love.

[@slipperyseagoose919]

Holy shit a Lets look at. So refreshing. I almost stopped paying attention to NLs uploads.

[@NabeshinX]

I would watch the hell out of a Downwell series.

[@nullanma5134]

Series please!!

[@babyoxeley]

YESSSSSS! Downwell series from Nothernlion - amazing gameplay, roguelike and interesting, also, NL's silky smooth voice.

[@Comicbacon]

Yes! Dailies! There's a final boss and definitely the power up synergies you take could help you more than others. Hard Mode opens up even more options

[@SirBoomLoL]

I would totally watch a series of this game, please DO IT :D

[@user-ku5nr3qu2h]

I'd totally watch a series for this game. I'm just getting into it and I love it, and seeing other people playing it on their own style is great.

[@nickymick15]

A weekly or a daily Downwell video while you wait for all of your computer parts could be pretty sweet

[@clownfiesta7069]

I don't think I could watch 30 straight minutes of it everyday but I enjoy it on occasion. maybe 1-2ep/week?

[@Cleve_Crudgington]

About bloody time. I'm loving this game. Edit: Holy shit, I bought this day one and I had no idea about the wall jump.

[@MajorNW]

I think it'd make a great short little series. I know i would be excited to see it.

[@Lunyaaaa]

I would absolutely watch a series on this!

[@firelizard96]

You like this ? Look up Super House of the Dead Ninjas. I can't belive NL didn't mention it as a comparison

[@TheFyroPyro]

17:30 "...and head down to the next floor" Holy shit that muscle memory is real

[@maniger98]

NL you should absolutely do a series on this.

[@c.drakekarns5992]

I'd definitely watch a couple hours worth of this. Could make a good mini-series.

[@yousy90]

will watch a series, if you have other content to discuss over it* thanks for listening NL

[@drakono82]

What does the Progress bar unlock? Over the course of the video, I caught a new style and a new pallette. What other sorts of things? Does any other type of progress (max health, items, skills, gems) persist?

[@darkgeode5711]

I want this series so much so maybe like a 25-50 episode series cuz it's so awesome

[@waytoofr35h24]

Thanks a bunch for introducing me to this game North! I'm having a lot of fun with it :D

[@RyMacLean]

Would totally be interested in a series!

[@od1401]

That underwater music...dreamy as hell.

[@djdano92]

when i saw a quick glance at the title i thought it said "let's look down the well" , and then i was thinking "dayum has Ryan have a well in his garden and what's he going to find down there if he's making a video on it" :P

[@ktktktktktktkt]

I would enjoy a short series to the final boss that I think I heard you talking about. I think this looks like a game that would get old fast but new areas and the chance to watch you discover them would keep it fresh.

[@Erikrocks00]

NL, I recommend you check out the "vivid" pallette when you get it. Contrary to its name, it is actually very pleasing to the eye!

[@vincentblack5735]

I think it could easily be a sort of miniseries (i.e. until you beat the final boss), and if it's easy to record until your computer gets sorted that's even better. I'm still following SLEEPCYCLE's runs even though I've already pretty much unlocked everything and beaten it a few times. It's still fun watching the learning process on a polished game, but I definitely don't see more than a couple of dozen episodes (assuming they're ~20 min like this one).

[@chaosvii]

A series of this is what I would call a "please & thank you"

[@nateZx100]

I would enjoy watching a series on this. Kinda like a side series to the binding of Isaac

[@VonnieVania]

I would definitely watch a series of this. I'm not expecting an 800+ series like Isaac, but maybe 20-30 episodes.

[@rileystrom8530]

Hey NL, if you read this, I'm a pretty avid fan of yours (watched pretty much every isaac vid you've ever put out, and the other content is just icing on the cake) and I'd love to see a series on this, for sure I think there will be a point where it gets stale, but I'm willing to bet that people would be interested for awhile, I know I would. Just my two cents

[@pixiri21]

I think it deserves perhaps even just a little series, till egg head makes his way to the very bottom.

[@masatogiffin3248]

a series would be sick XD

[@iheizeus]

@17:33 ish, he was leaving a shop and said "... And we'll head down to the next floor." He left the shop. I laughed. Nobody else did. TBI experience showing through here lady's and gentlemen.

[@tomlowe5181]

i would love a series of this. please finish prison architect first though, a lot of people are really enjoying that atm. much love for you egglord

[@RyleeStrange]

Def. want a series in this. Also cannot wait for the mac release. And don't worry how watchable it is after three hours. I'm sure we'll tell you if it isn't. There's no rule that says you can't stop a series once you start it.

[@SimonPotticary73]

I'd certainly watch a Downwell series if you do one! Looks real cool, too. Not too fast to watch/keep track of the action, either.

[@Seblis]

Hey Northernlion, I think 10-20 half-hour episodes of downwell would be awesome.

[@StarGuide64]

I'd love a series on this, it seems very entertaining.

[@NyxSunspot]

10/10 would absolutely watch a series by you on this!! :D

[@aaronstang4788]

Please make this a series!

[@Radditz770]

I think that this is a game that you can make a series out of with around 10-15 minute videos. Which means, quite short videos by your normal length (thinking primarily of BoI). 30-40 minute videos of this might be too much, but 10-15, or even 10-20 minute videos would be a good idea for a series I think.

[@graslund42]

this is series worthy! I would watch the heck out of it! =)

[@Ithambar]

I have no problems following what's happening and would love to see a series of this.

[@sacredecho8038]

Hey NL, I'd love to see a series on this. Been Checking out SleepCycles' videos on the game and I've been looking for more. Seeing you progress and get better at a game is always entertaining.

[@TheOtherHuemin]

I would love for a series in which you get better and understand the health system. If you get more than you maximum it fills the bar under your health when it fills you get max health up.

[@stock_img]

I'd totally watch this as a series!

[@PoetryStud]

NL on the water one I think the chests you break give you oxygen bubbles

[@SD_Koy]

A series of at least getting to the end but this isn't a new Binding of Isaac. And to wall jump you have to be in a rolling animation in the air as opposed to a standing animation in air (or falling animation). To be in the rolling animation you have to have full charge and left the "ground" with enough horizontal movement.

[@roboturf]

I think this is definitely a good game for a series. I like watching Northernlions Rogue-like videos, and Isaac is getting a little bit old to me (But I still love it). I honestly hope NL does this as a series, or at least a mini series.

[@Oneirodynia]

I'd watch a series of this. Not sure how long it would entertain, depends on the levels, enemies, and item combos. This was definitely entertaining though.

[@francishiggens3159]

I would definitely watch a series on this.

[@24hourPrince]

I am 100% percent buying this game. I personally think this is a like 2-3 episode per week game if you were to do a series on it, I feel like daily uploads would get really stale, really fast

[@Galactashafttheplanetpounder]

Even if the series slows and stops I'd still be glad to watch it. I say its a good idea

[@HammerheartBloodeagle]

The VB theme is actually pretty awesome, IMO. But yeah, this is definitively a fun game and more than worth it's price!

[@Bordey]

Maybe not a super long series, but one episode every now and then could be pretty neat.

[@MonkeyCurler]

Yeah, I think I'd enjoy a series of this. Gameplay looks cool and has a nostalgic touch. Probably not 800+ episodes like Isaac, but I'd definately watch thus

[@squidy7771]

11:22 the Noppy has the exact same stats as the machine gun (the default weapon) except it shoots in the direction you're moving

[@EliteCutta98]

Definitely not a daily series, but this game would make for a lot of fun for maybe 20ish minute videos occasionally. Looks like a good game and would love to hear the commentary laced on top of this.

[@Avenus112]

Honestly, all I am interested in atm is your Prison Architect series.

[@andrewcramer9437]

What I think is that you SHOULD definitely make a series of this game

[@VAProductions]

I could see myself watching a series of this.

[@JacksawJack]

Maybe a mini-series while you wait for your new setup. Anything different would be good to break up the Monotony of Isaac, until Afterbirth arrives.

[@No_Plays_Hand_Empty]

A series owuld be pretty entertaining, I'd definitely watch it. Thanks for bringing this game into the spotlight, Ryab :)

[@Rumcake256]

Yeah I'd totally watch more of this. Feel free to upload it :D

[@InvaderKED]

I'd love to watch a series of this

[@isaiahcharley5299]

I would watch a 10 part series

[@kus88]

Depending on depth (no pun intended...) yes would love a series.

[@Dorfanable]

And god said to man. Let there be a lets play!

[@zab666]

A series could definitely work with this one!

[@GhillieFox375]

Love Downwell. I'd be down for a series.

[@aFewBitsShort]

It has a unique style and looks fun and addictive but doesn't seem to have a lot of depth in the mechanics, though there does seem to be some depth in the range of attack modifiers (and the depth of the well goes without saying). It seems to be quite polished for what it is.

[@snilloc42290]

I wouldnt mind watching an episode every now and then. But I dont think it could run as long as your Isaac series.

[@Unfuse]

I would watch a series of this!

[@mikecolbert7052]

I would love to see a series.

[@squidy7771]

8:44 actually, puncher has the same range as the machine gun, and it fires three bullets at a time, for the cost of two charge

[@shinobistealth77]

I would love to watch you play some Downwell, this game rules. Maybe you could have a short series and keep the videos themselves short-ish to avoid fatigue?
