The dungeons are separated by rooms and each room has a puzzle of sorts to figure out how to fill each object in the room with energy, which in turn, also gives you energy.
#CREATURE IN THE WELL UPGRADE#
Collecting energy is really the core part of the game since energy is used to open doors to proceed, upgrade BOT-C and it is what makes the pinball aspect of the game so enjoyable. The gameplay goal in Creature of the Well is to make it through these dungeons as you turn on the power for each facility and collect energy along the way. Other than that, there isn’t much story as you progress through the eight dungeons which was honestly quite disappointing because I enjoyed the gameplay considerably, even if it was challenging as all hell at points. There are computers at the end of each dungeon with some lore from the staff that was once working there about the facility and the creature itself, but none of it was particularly interesting. He is then tasked with restoring power to the ancient facility in Mirage which has been taken over by a creature (in the well) and is causing an ongoing sandstorm around the city, but that’s really the gist of it. Creature of the Well begins with the protagonist – BOT-C – waking up in some desert buried beneath the sand which, after a bit of walking, approaches the city of Mirage where he realizes he is the last of his kind. One flaw to begin with would be the story, or lack thereof. On paper, it’s hard to imagine what that would look like or even play like, but Flight School Studios does a very good job of merging the genres together to create something unlike anything I’ve played before, it isn’t without flaws however. It sounds bizarre, but the craziest part is, it somehow works and surprisingly well.Ĭreature of the Well is a top-down dungeon crawler with mechanics that are heavily inspired by pinball machines. So, indie developer Flight School Studios had the wild idea to take everything that’s great about pinball and throw it into a weird action dungeon crawler/puzzle game. Maybe it’s all the flashy lights, the pinging sounds or just seeing that ball bounce all over the place, but I could play it for hours. There is something about pinball that is just addictive.
