About
Down is a mix of dungeon crawler and realtime strategy game. Command your minions to the next portal, leading deeper down. Levels are procedurally generated.
Here are some ingame screenshots:
I would like to work further on this project. How can I make this game more fun? Would love to hear your input!
And a warning to all fellow game devs: This game is what happens, if you overscope a project. It was meant to be released for the Compo, but I was nowhere near playable after 24h and it therefore went to the Jam. Now, after nearly 3 weeks of laborious, long evenings, I can present you the post-jam version, showing you, how the game was meant to be. I like, how it turned out, but gee, I'm bad at time estimates...
Anyhow, have fun and thanks for playing!
