Wellstorm
A downloadable game for Windows
Descend the well. Survive the storm.
Wellstorm is an endless arcade tube shooter in the spirit of the classic 80s vector arcades — rebuilt with modern neon: glowing hairline wireframes, phosphor trails, CRT curvature, and a fully synthesized soundtrack.
Every well is procedurally generated — tubes, stars, blooms, canyons, rifts — and the storm climbing out of them gets faster and meaner until you're overwhelmed. How deep can you go?
FEATURES
• Endless procedurally generated wells — no two runs alike
• Escalating waves of flippers, tankers, spikers and pulsars
• A superzapper per wave, for when it all goes wrong
• Bonus round every 5 waves: Ring Run, Zap Frenzy, Spike Garden, Orb Harvest, and The Leviathan
• The Mirror — a rare ghost you must CATCH, not shoot. Twin claws, double firepower, one free hit.
• Accuracy scoring: shoot less, hit more
• Ambient deep space: nebulae, comets, derelict junk, and the occasional black hole
• 100% procedural everything — graphics, levels, sound effects and music are all generated from code. No asset files exist.
• Mouse spinner controls (or keyboard), remembered settings, persistent high score
