Play Don't Go Down

Open the chest. Then ignore the title.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

Depth 1 is The Cottage, a small voxel house with a chest in the corner and five hearts at the top of the screen. Don't Go Down is a blocky dungeon crawler seen in first person, played in the Roam app on iPhone. Your first goal is to open that chest. After that the name is a dare: every level takes you deeper, with coins to collect on the way.

Moving and looking

Use the Move joystick to walk.
Drag on the screen to look around.
Tap the hand to interact, for example to open the chest.
Tap jump to hop up blocks in your way.
Head down level by level and keep your 5 hearts.

What you get

A voxel village and cottage with nice lighting
Depth levels that go deeper one by one
5 hearts and a coin counter
A first-person view with your item in hand

If you like Minecraft

The blocky look and first-person view will feel like home if you grew up on Minecraft. It is the same chunky style, with a cottage, trees and an item in your hand.

The goal is different. It is not a sandbox. Don't Go Down is a crawl with a clear goal at each depth, and the path only goes one way: down.

A blocky dungeon crawler for short sessions

Each depth has one goal on screen, starting with opening the chest. That keeps the game moving on a phone.

Tip: drag to look around the room before you walk. Finding the chest takes a second once you know where to look, and the level banner fades after a few seconds so you can see the whole cottage.

An easy start for Minecraft kids

Players who like blocky worlds and a bit of mystery. The name sets a mood, and each depth adds a new level to explore.

It is also an easy start for younger players who know Minecraft. The controls are the usual move, look, jump and interact, so there is little to learn before the first chest.
