Into the Well
Destroy enemies, upgrade your weapons, and last as long as possible.
Description
Into the Well is a vertically scrolling endless survivor-like game where you control a mysterious robot, falling deeper into a monochrome abyss with no way back.
You can’t stop falling. Your only option is to survive the descent by dodging, destroying, and adapting to what’s ahead.
Built with a minimal pixel-art style and backed by an arcade-inspired soundtrack, this game blends survival, upgrade strategy, and reflex mastery into a tense, escalating experience.
Upgrade wisely. Learn fast. And fall deeper.

Unit Outline
This game was developed as a university project for IGB100 Game Studio 1: Mini-Game Development at Queensland University of Technology.
Our team was given the choice between creating a Vampire Survivors-like or an endless runner, so we decided to combine both.
The project was built over 8 weeks.
