Is Only Down! worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want a descent-focused game rather than an upward-climbing challenge
- Players who enjoy ragdoll physics, portals, and trampolines in movement-based gameplay
- Players seeking a parody game with no plot and deliberately silly presentation
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a story-driven game, since the vendor says there is no plot
- Players who prefer polished physics rather than the deliberately poor physics described for this game
- Players seeking a larger map selection than the two maps listed
Our take on Only Down!
The central premise is intentionally simple, but the game also includes multiple movement systems, checkpoints, modes, and a 50-kilometer route. The absence of a plot and the deliberately poor physics are core parts of the presentation, not incidental omissions.
What is Only Down!?
Only Down!
is a parody game about descending instead of climbing, with the stated objective of reaching rock bottom. The route covers 50 kilometers across two maps and includes portals, trampolines, checkpoints, flight control, bullet time, and ragdoll physics. An unstuck system addresses situations where the character becomes caught in textures. The game includes Hard and Fun modes, a possible fall into hell, and a cake at the finale.
Its presentation uses low-poly graphics with an 80s-inspired style. The vendor characterizes the physics and gameplay as poor and dumb, identifies the main character as a freak, and says there is no plot. A capybara is also listed among the game’s elements. The page advises players not to use the green elevator.
