A small but mighty metroidvania that you won't be able to put down
“Another month full of superb indie game releases has just passed us by so as always, let's celebrate the 12 very best ones.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Nirav from GL: "Animal Well has shattered my understanding of game design in the best ways."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I would like to reiterate that the fact Animal Well was created by a sole developer is worthy of an entire room giving it a standing ovation. It’s impeccably well-designed, with a ton of secrets to unfold, but I also feel it wasn’t that much fun at all times. I’m all for a game not holding my hand throughout its entire runtime, but it didn’t need to feel so cryptic, and so focused on trial-and-error, especially when its checkpoints were way too far away from each other. At times, I loved exploring its many secrets. Other times, I felt so frustrated I wanted to throw my Switch across the room. All in all, it’s still worth checking out if you’re into a deceptively complex metroidvania, but be aware of some truly obnoxious design choices and roadblocks."
