Wells

Despite being somewhat appealing due to its 2.5d steampunk appearance, Wells is seemingly hollow as what is does offer has been done so much better in a number of other circumstances. Calling this game a "run and gun" in the detailed description is extremely misleading. While I remember guns overheating in games like Metal Slug, I never remember them causing an extreme pause to the gameplay experience like it does in Wells. Retreating to cool down and restore your health in Wells takes away from the "run and gun" and makes the experience more like "retreat and fire aimlessly". On the subject of aiming, the "full controller support" is a complete sham as the triggers as well as the analog support for the game constantly fails using an Xbox360 controller with similar unanswered complaints on the forums. While I am glad the game has extended platform support, the Linux version is garbage with graphics glitches throughout. I had no idea what the first boss looked like until I saw a screens...

The game is very well produced, with interesting and intelligent challenges. The graphics are really cool as well as the fantastic soundtrack. I recommend it to everyone.

Honestly just not that interesting. Also, the settings seem to lie; it claims to be in my widescreen monitor resolution, but the picture has black bars on the side; it also says it supports controllers, but it ignores my Xbox controller.

A nice little sidescroller with pleasing music and visuals. A very good deal on sale.

A very fun old school game with intresting shotting mechanics and boss fights

I was not a fan of Wells. It started off decent as a side scrolling shooter but the gameplay was average, and the dull graphics got to me eventually. Pay $1 if you like side scrolling shooters; just come in with low expectations.

Wells is a very charming run and gun game, with many different weapons and challenges. Even though it may be visually simple, it makes up for its unique mechanic and gameplay. One thing I would love to see on Wells is a challenge mode, like a time trial and/or a puzzle mode. Maybe later on also allow users to create their own levels and share it through steam? This game is a hidden gem and for its current price it deserves to be bought and appreciated.

funny game

Wells is a steampunk side scroller with decent enough graphics with okay music and kind of pathetic pew pew sounds. Where this game fails is where so many indie titles fail; controls. All platformers (all games really) need good, tight, and responsive controls. Why don't developers understand that? Fix the darn controls! I don't know how many times I died because the controls weren't responsive. Jankity controls are not challenging, they are freakin' annoying! Do not buy at any price.

WOW this game is fun, and i only paid 50 cents ! not too shabby !!! =)
