    I wish I was good enough to enjoy it more, but, unfortunately, I don't enjoy it enough to "git gud". It does have really smooth controls and a beautiful art style. The small amount of lore is also interesting and fun. Sound design is stellar. If difficult, fast-paced puzzle indie games are your style then check it out. It is on Xbox Game pass so try it!

    It is fascinating how the gameplay intensifies in response to players interactions with the environment. Just a few moving balls and once dead and abandoned room changes into a deadly arena. Though it shines at the beginning, with time the game loses some of its initial charm. [12/2019, p.59]

    Creature In The Well is a hectic joy to play, and the unlikely genre fusion works astonishingly well. Maybe someone should try that ice cream burger after all. [Issue#183, p.79]

    Creature in the Well is visually fascinating and manages to bring together hack and slash with dungeon crawling and a pinball twist. It sounds like a strange mix, but it works brilliantly.
