Finally, the world’s first Well type game
Downwell: *exists*
It reminds me of Rainworld mixed with Noita
Read in Dunk-o-Phone as required.
Hol up, let me get my Gun Boots
It's like Halo 2 meets Halo 3
it's definitely like Halo 2 meets Halo 3. Time to finish the fight in Animal Well
legend
Godammit. Beat me to it.
❤
damn that's like.... Halo 5
This is my most anticipated game other than Knack 3 of course.
here comes the moneeeyyy
Is there knack 3 rumors??
@@prismglide8429Does a Woodchuck chuck wood?
Knack 3. Instant classic
@@prismglide8429112qwesaa'vbm,
This game is gonna be better than taco night at James Earl Jones' house
It's tail time
Note to self: Never drink tapwater at Jerry Garcias house
Yeap, you betcha! Tail time
Better than bottom night a Diddy’s mansion
Note to self: don't go bobbing for apples at Martha Quinn's house
If you wishlist animal well, you get a free loaf of wonder bread
If I return the game do I still get to keep my loaf?
@@ktmbro37 it will return too
Halo 2 and 3 fans, watch out for May 9th.
May 9th? Thats the date Animal Well comes out.
That’s the thing Kendrick Lamar said in his last song!
Hey, are you guys talking about Animal Well?
@@updownbrodown215 wait isn't that Halo 2 meets 3?
Can we just appreciate how surreal it is to see Dunkey's logo on an Official Nintendo of America video. So proud of ma boi 😊
i dont want to appreciate it, i only want to see pictures of spider man
SUPA MARIO BROTHAS 2 BAYBEEEEE
Can’t believe this is how far the donkey Kong series has come
Is this me or every comment here is from subs of Donkey
I heard that if you wishlist it, you get a free loaf of wonder bread
Yo guys, this is my boy Dunkers new game, you might not have heard of him, but support the little guy if you can. He tried to be a KZheadr, but I guess that didnt work out, so this is like his backup plan.
Hope he makes it fr 🙏🏻
he didn’t make the game
Dunkey didn't make it. He's publishing it.
Haters saying he didn’t make it, keep yapping 🗣️🗣️😤😤
@@FromMan2Monkey-nb5fq ok, hold on. There's a very big difference between being the developer and publisher. From some cursory searches, dunkey's involvement in this is that he made(?) the indie publishing company Bigmode, but the developer in this case is Shared Memory, which from what i can tell, isn't run by him. Being the Publisher of a game is VERY different to being the developer. They're helpful, of course, and can be instrumental to the game's success, but saying that Dunkey(which, even then, it's a whole team in Bigmode, not just him) made the game instead of Shared Memory is like saying Bandai Namco made Elden Ring instead of fromsoft, or another example, saying that scholastic made Harry Potter. Full disclosure, I have a limited understanding of the situation and really only saw this trailer and looked around google, so if dunkey runs Shared Memory, feel free to correct me, but from all i can find, he doesn't seem to.
This is the perfect example of a game drawing your attention with a strong visual identity, and selling you on it with (seemingly) appealing gameplay.
+ slightly resembling another popular game (terraria) with familiar sounds and items so that fans of that game are instantly hooked
@@PaulPlayterraria is gay
@@PaulPlayof all the games this is similar to, terraria is not high up on the list. It definitely seems a lot more like rain world
@@SilverKiwi_YT wouldn't say so. Yoyo's remind me of terraria, so does the art style and some of the sound effects, especially the explosions, are very very reminiscent of terraria's sound design. But it for sure took some inspo from rain world als well
@@PaulPlayexplosions and yo-yo = terraria? the entire game SCREAMS rain world, unsure how you drew that terraria conclusion. and i have 1000 hours in terraria… almost nothing similar other than pixel art 🤣
This game looks exactly like halo 2 meets halo 3
Time to finish the fight
I still can’t wait for Hogan’s Castle.
I hope Beeg Yoshi is in this game. I’m sure he’s just sittin there.
A- a- aaaaah.
Jesus. This trailer looks amazing. Looks like a combination of Halo 2 and Halo 3.
looks like a game of the year contender so excited for this game
It’ll lose to Super Mario Bros 2, just can’t beat that game.
@@cjmoore9966 Wrong year.
@@lel1103 SUPA MARIO BRUDDAS TWO, BAY-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@@cjmoore9966 Is that a meme? You're not making sense so whatever.
@@lel1103 NOT EVEN CLOSE, BAY-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
May 9? THat’s the day Animal Well comes out on steam!
I heard this game is like halo 2 meets halo 3
Immediate positive first impression just from the graphics alone.
I mean that's really what this is all about
The soundtrack caught my attention🤩
yeah i feel you
Wow...a comment actually related to the video. Thank you
@@theelusivepootisberd7471It’s hard to get that with Dunkey viewers, it’s like they’re all in a competition to see how many call backs and references they can push out into each comment section relating to Dunkey. You get used to it after a while
It's like half and half I have mostly just seen people praising the game@@theelusivepootisberd7471
@@DatWingManIt's kind of amusing but genuinely makes reading the comments not worth it after a few videos. People like conversation, not 99% regurgitated memes. On topic, soundtrack REALLY caught my attention. I want to hear more.
Love the scanlines. This is how retro-inspired games should look.
Maybe not "should". This uses a proprietary engine which is why it can look like this, that and not every game should look the same.
You could also argue it's more "modern" and less "retro-authentic", it still looks great though.
Also dismissing the work of others for no reason isn't cool.
You are obligated to respond otherwise you admit you don't care about games.
You should answer.
I play tested this at PAX East, and I can’t wait for this game. So nice to see something fresh and exciting to play. You can see the effort that went into this game everywhere between audio, visuals, gameplay.. awesome. Can’t wait.
still waiting for bowser’s big bean burrito 2
I gotta say, I never would've looked into this game if dunkey hadnt been publishing it, but im so glad he is because it looks freaking awesome!
Finally the fans get their long-awaited sequel to Welltris
May 9th? Hey that’s when animal well comes out!
It's crazy how awesome this looks. Can't wait for release
Rainworld vibes
Agreed
Yeah
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah, but it's clearly not the same gameplay. Animal Well is more "find all the secret that we hide in the game" + Metroidvania. You have to interact with the environnement. Something will act differently if you use this item or not.
Playing as a lil guy? Check Big animals trying to kill you? Check Procedural animation? Check Yeah I can see it
You guys talking about Animal Well? I heard it releases on May 9th
It’s like Halo 2 meets Halo 3!
Has to be an insane feeling growing up, loving Nintendo games to then develop/publish a game hosted on and advertised by their platform. Great job Shared Memory and BIGMODE, keep it up. Proud of you.
Finally a new strand type game
The newest installment into the Well-type genre since Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon.
@@EvdogMusic Downwell, Hollow knight, tears of the kingdom sometimes. Wonderful genre.
Looks like Knack 3 has some competition
ANIMAL WELL BAYBEEEEE
Can’t wait to play this with a blindfold on.
May 9th? That's when Animal Well comes out
This game really makes you FEEL like a well.
This looks fantastic for anyone that enjoys games like Fez or Tunic.
I love the neon colors popping against the black, this will KILL on OLED
yeah a lot of games looking like they are colored in only highlight markers or crayons but this game looking more like good old dark mode.
Yo, you guys got this game wishlisted though?
It’s weird that Dunkey fans have sort of retroactively become Animal Well fans but hopefully it means more people will try the game out!
well it does look good. a really interesting take on a metroidvania tbh
that’s not what retroactively means
They might buy it, but most aren't going to play it. This will be a para social success.
you sound like an annoying person
KZheadr you are a fan of brings attention to a game and you like it: (Weird - Bad Ending) Know about and supported the creator from the moment they were born unto game launch: (Not Weird - The Only Acceptable Ending)
The first open well type game 🐸
I heard this game is gonna be like Halo 2 meets Halo 3
Sounds like I’ll need to play this for the soundtrack alone, these visuals are simply breathtaking as well.
The sound design sounded amazing in this trailer. The sound of the yoyo rippling through the water and the subtle movement of the bushes sounded so clean, I really hope the whole game sounds that good
I think the Rainworld and Animal Well fandoms will get along
Where do you get the wonderbread?
Dude this better get a physical release i swear to god
oh yeah
This is what indie games are about. I had this on my Steam Wishlist for quite some time already. Looking very forward to it!
This is the coolest art style I've seen since Cuphead
A crime this didn't get an actual spotlight in the direct. One of the few interesting games
I would love to have a level editor for this game built in or as a future update.
It's so good for Dunkey to back such a previously unknown game. By the time he got involved it had only had one extremely high profile article about it.
Yo, you guys talkin about animal well?
This game caught my eye since it was first shown. It looks like a true classic with so much imagination
00:51 when the music stops and the heart is there
I'm SO excited for this game!!
I recall that the guy who made this game made an entirely new engine from the ground up just for it. Which is outstanding to me. I'll definitely be trying to play this one just to see how different it feels compared to other games as a result of this. It's looking real cool already!
Are you a little frog battling all the ghosts of animals that died in a well?? Thats awesome
i heard this game comes out on may 9th
May 9th? Thats when animal well comes out
YES ANIMAL WELL, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME.
This game looks so cool! Definitely wanna give it a try
Late to the hype of this, deserves so much more promo. Thanks Dinkle!
I just found out about this game today, and now it's my most anticipated one after Hades 2.
Oh man. Did you put this out on 3DS too?
A puzzle, Splunky, rouge-like with animals. Amazing
Doesnt this video game come out on May 9th on Steam and Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch???
Looks beautiful, cannot wait to play this.
This game looks like Halo 2 meets Halo 3, I have to wishlist this
every single day of donkey kong december is a fever dream
Will this one have physical edition?
Easily in the top five well-type games.
Is that the cat from the 'House' movie
I was asking myself the same question. I recognise that monstrous cat face anywhere.
@@MysteryEzekude I think they pay homage to the flick, nice touch anw
i wishlisted this on steam, where is my wonderbread?!
It's not usually my type of game, but I love the art style, and I'm willing to try it for dunkey!
Sat, is this Jelly Escape? Because I used to love that Flash Game!
Let’s go Big Mode 🥰
You haven't lived until you've wishlisted Animal Well on Steam
This game looks absolutely serene Something to keep my heart afloat
Hey are you guys talking about Animal Well?
It reminds me of halo 2 or 3
Lets play that back, one more time!
You guys talking about animal well? I hear it comes out may 9th
this looks so serene, i cant wait
From Shared Memory and published by Dunkey's BIGMODE babyyy!
A chill metroidvania? Sign me up!
Anybody here heard of a little game called Animal Well?
I heard it comes out on May 9th
this game really let’s you feel like an animal well
very cool looking but is the gameplay up to par!!! Steam release date is may 9! Would be nice to have a demo to test...
just from the trailer, you know this game has a little something for everyone
Where is my loaf of Wonder bread?
Looks very beautiful
I cant wait for ANIMAL WELL 2.
The game really makes you feel like you're in an animal well
Hyped af, Dunkey has shown so many hidden gems to enjoy, now we get one of his very own
I love the way the games looks
This looks beautiful
I heard this is an awesome mix of halo 2 and halo 3
I love that all the comments are just dunky fans out here trying to support and rep his company. Im super excited for Animal Well, it looks really good!!
didn't realize this was coming out so soon
Not sure why they didn't show the full trailer for this one on the showcase. It looks pretty great! (And honestly a yoyo weapon alone will catch my attention)
