Downwell has a Overwhelmingly Positive review score with 97% of the 2,013 reviewers giving it a positive score.
Downwell is a curious game about a young person venturing down a well in search of untold treasures with only his Gunboots for protection. Make your way further and further down into the darkness filled with nasty creatures and mysterious secrets to collect the spectacular red gems scattered about the rocks. Step into precariously placed shops and buy some helpful items or level up between levels to battle well-dwelling monsters and uncover hidden caves filled with riches and relics. No two trips down the well are ever the same!
The Amazing Gunboots - The fashionable and lethal Gunboots allow players to unleash a torrent of firepower on the nasty creatures dwelling in the well and slow your decent with each shot.
Unique Weapons & Items - Get different weapons, shop for peculiar items and obtain powerful upgrades that all stack and affect the way you play!
A New Adventure Every Time - Each level in Downwell is procedurally generated, so no two trips down the well are ever the same providing a fresh new adventure each time!
"No game is perfect, but comes as close as it could get within its genre. The new game to beat in its sector; we're talking pure video game ecstasy."

Amazing game. For anyone who has one, it's suited perfectly to the Vita. For such a twitch game, you need minimal input lag.

It is very good, but after the first 2 themes, boy, it gets hard. The water level is a bitch.
I don't think there is a way to skip wells? For practise? So you have to go back to the beginning each time.
Lots of superfluous unlocks, colour schemes, from eyeball melting to quaint & a few stances that switch-up the gameplay. Worth 99p - but hard to say whether you'll still be playing this beyond a few sessions.

I'm up for this but what platforms can I get it on? I don't really know anything about steam and I don't have a "fast" PC. Android phone/tab/tv box and ubuntu mostly.

Load Steam on Ubuntu? This is like an old 16 bit game with 8 bit graphics, so a dinosaur PC should be fine.
