SpeedFall
SpeedFall is a 2D fast-paced action arcade game, mainly inspired by Downwell. In each short match, the player must keep clearing out ever-expanding waves of enemies, while endlessly falling in a vertically looping dungeon. Speed is a key component of SpeedFall, as the player's descent becomes exponentially faster if unchecked. Aside from sparse slowing pads, the player can always allow themselves to get damaged for a sudden slow-down - at the obvious risk of dying.
