About DownhillMadness
Get ready for DownhillMadness, a one-of-a-kind experience with completely original game mechanics. Earn in-game money by aiming and shooting tons of balls that cascade downhill and bounce off obstacles toward the targets. After you shoot them, use your wind gun and forcefield guns to efficiently direct as many as you can through the multiplier hoops and toward the goals before time runs out!
It's golf meets Quake 3 meets Plinko, with a Yahtzee-like scorecard!
Explore the carefully-created world with dozens of levels, each with 11 fun goals to achieve, creating many different types of fast-moving challenges and a lot of replayability.
Check out the mystical meta-world that connects the levels, and enjoy the trickiness of trying to control a hundred moving things at once. It's like herding cats! Try out the many different types of projectiles, each with different mass, bounciness, physics, and cost, to solve various challenges on each level. Drop forcefields that repel and guide the projectiles as they bounce around to create the perfect track to herd all your shots to the goals.
There's Adventure Mode where you can explore the carefully-crafted meta-world and complete challenges to unlock new levels. Or try Arcade Mode which only gives you 1 minute per level to max out the fun!
Check out the action of your moving shots from above with a live overhead satellite view, or hover in place. Your fox friend follows you and tells you everything you need to know as it comes up. Included is a multi-artist electronic music soundtrack, with a song for each level and an in-game playlist. With an estimated 10-30 hours of gameplay, DownhillMadness is a unique single-player experience you won't find anywhere else!

The game is extremely pretty. Watching the balls arc downhill with their tracer tails is pretty fun for a while. Unfortunately, the game doesn't really explain how any of the scoring works except to point you toward the higher multipliers. The trailer has scenes with thousands of balls bouncing everywhere but on certain levels, my gun just stopped firing when there were too many balls. If it were much cheaper, I would have less bad things to say, but at $26, I am expecting significantly more. I would give this a thumb sideways, but since it does do what it says it does, I am going to go with a thumbs up. https://youtu.be/tPdgkoXRPeE2 found this helpful
The game is super chill and relaxing. I don't really leave reviews, but I was confused and intrigued by this game. It's an odd game that doesn't really fit a category: sort of Super Monkey Ball meets FPS Peggle on steroids with electronic music. I'm pretty terrible at maximizing points in arcade mode, but you can sink some hours into this no problem. I could see a lot of customization to play styles if you got good with each ball type and learned the stages, but its a bit beyond me. Once you figure some of the levels out, you can get pretty high scores and chase numbers if you want. I enjoyed the colors, soundtrack, and finding foxes in each level while trying to not hit capybaras with while blowing balls around (seriously). The capybaras that roam the levels and interfere with your placements and plans for a few levels ... I laughed. MASSIVE levels, cool concept, game is a polished early access type game. Looks good, plays and doesn't crash that I can see, but don't expect a triple AAA title.1 found this helpful
DownhillMadness is an excellent cross between a FPS and classic arcade-style game. The depth of the high score system creates a fun gameplay that pushes me to retry levels with a variety of techniques. Even well into the game, I was able to find new ways to go back to previous levels and squeeze out additional points without it being a grind. The UE 5.1 graphics and physics work together to create a beautiful and interesting experience. The game takes FPS skills to get the top scores and platinum medals, but even my 4 year old enjoyed playing the levels and trying to get each of the different medals and finding the foxes. The 10-30 hour play time estimation is accurate. There aren't any bugs in the current version that are show stoppers. Only weakness is that some of the levels need balancing with the score system to make perfect scores possible. Overall, score is 9/10 for the unique gameplay that is rewarding and enjoyable.1 found this helpful

Good concept with a variety of fun weapons. Good to see an indie developer make something so cool.
Great concept and am always excited to see a developer continuously working on and improving a game
