Curator review

Only Down! defies gravity and expectations with its unique gameplay and concept of reaching rock bottom instead of climbing up. Dive into absurdity embrace the plummet and enjoy the thrilling descent.

Full review

Only Down! is a game that turns the traditional concept of climbing to new heights on its head. Instead of reaching for the skies, your goal in this game is quite simple - hit rock bottom. It may sound absurd, but that's precisely what makes this game so intriguing and unique.

The gameplay revolves around controlling a ragdoll character as it descends through various maps filled with obstacles and challenges. With features like bullet time, flight control, checkpoints, portals, trampolines, and even the ability to get stuck in textures (don't worry there's an unstuck system), be prepared for a wild ride down.

The low poly graphics evoke a nostalgic 80s vibe while maintaining their own charm. Despite their simplicity, they contribute to creating an immersive atmosphere throughout the descent.

While Only Down! may not boast realistic physics or deep storytelling elements like some other games do, it fully embraces its goofy nature by offering dumb gameplay devoid of any plotline. And surprisingly enough - that works! Sometimes all you need is mindless fun without having to worry about complex narratives or intricate mechanics.

In addition to these quirky features and lighthearted gameplay experience – please heed their warning not to use the green elevator (whatever that means!). Also as icing on top (or should I say yet another bizarre element), there's even cake waiting at the finale - but spoiler alert!

If you're looking for something different from your typical gaming experiences; if you're ready to dive into absurdity headfirst; if you want an unconventional challenge where reaching rock bottom becomes your ultimate accomplishment – then Only Down! might just be what you've been waiting for!
