The new Metroidvania game “Animal Well”, released on the 9th, ranked at the top of the sales chart with “overwhelmingly positive (97% positive)” reviews on Steam.

Animal Well is a metroidvania game focused on exploration and puzzles. Players become characters shaped like drops of water and explore the dark underground where animals live. During your adventures, you will acquire various items such as magic wands, boomerangs, fireworks and yo-yos, which you can use to go to new places or obtain hidden treasures.

Animals exist in some maps. They basically attack the protagonist, but you can also get hidden items using their behavior patterns. It also included some horror elements, such as some animals suddenly jumping out of the darkness.

Those who have played the game have left favorable reviews for its rich and varied puzzles, excellent graphics and music, and extensive hidden elements. They left reviews like “It’s a lot of fun to deduce how to use the items you find,” “There are so many hidden items you could do this for the rest of your life,” and “The exquisite combination of modern and retro is beautiful.” However, some point out that the explanation is very little, which hinders the progression of the game.
