About Creature in the Well


Creature in the Well is a top-down, pinball-inspired, hack-and-slash dungeon crawler. As the last remaining BOT-C unit, venture deep into a desert mountain to restore power to an ancient facility, haunted by a desperate Creature. Uncover and upgrade powerful gear in order to free the city of Mirage from a deadly sandstorm.
  • Pinball with swords: Charge up energy orbs, then bounce and ricochet them to reactivate dormant machinery and stop the sandstorm.
  • Defeat the Creature: Escape the many challenges set by the Creature and confront it in intricate, skillful battles.
  • Dungeon-crawler: Delve deeper into the mountain as you unlock eight hand-crafted dungeons, each filled with unique gameplay themes, unlockables, and secrets to uncover.
  • Over 20 unique items: Customize your playstyle with upgradeable weapons and clothing that change how you play the game.

Fine enough, but repetitive and frustrating by the end.

Short sweet and to the point, with gorgeous visuals and beautiful music.

This game's really fun! It takes a couple hours to really get going but once it does, it scratches that pinball/bullet-hell itch you didn't know you needed. I'm about halfway through but this games goes down so smooth, each level only taking about 20-30 minutes, that I know I'll see it through to the end. Well worth playing!

Great game. Wish there was more. Pick it up on sale. Hyper light drifter but pinball.
