Games Asylum: "Steve Jobs caught lightning in a bottle when creating Atari’s arcade hit Breakout, taking something as simple as Pong and adding a compelling twist. Some forty years later, breaking blocks with a paddle remains an inviting mechanic, the draw and desire to clear the board – potentially with one well-placed shot – forever burning strong.
Creature in the Well takes this simple concept and applies it to a top-down dungeon-crawling template, casting aside enemies to instead fill rooms with bricks, pinball bumpers, and ball-firing turrets. The two “tools” carried by the protagonist act as flippers, with one sending glowing balls ricocheting, and the other to hold and charge shots."
Starting today, Creature in the Well is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until April 1 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
