About the Game

Get ready for DownhillMadness, a one-of-a-kind experience with completely original game mechanics. Earn in-game money by aiming and shooting tons of balls that cascade downhill and bounce off obstacles toward the targets. After you shoot them, use your wind gun and forcefield guns to efficiently direct as many as you can through the multiplier hoops and toward the goals before time runs out!

It's golf meets Quake 3 meets Plinko, with a Yahtzee-like scorecard!

Explore the carefully-created world with dozens of levels, each with 11 fun goals to achieve, creating many different types of fast-moving challenges and a lot of replayability.

Check out the mystical meta-world that connects the levels, and enjoy the trickiness of trying to control a hundred moving things at once. It's like herding cats! Try out the many different types of projectiles, each with different mass, bounciness, physics, and cost, to solve various challenges on each level. Drop forcefields that repel and guide the projectiles as they bounce around to create the perfect track to herd all your shots to the goals.

There's Adventure Mode where you can explore the carefully-crafted meta-world and complete challenges to unlock new levels. Or try Arcade Mode which only gives you 1 minute per level to max out the fun!

Check out the action of your moving shots from above with a live overhead satellite view, or hover in place. Your fox friend follows you and tells you everything you need to know as it comes up. Included is a multi-artist electronic music soundtrack, with a song for each level and an in-game playlist. With an estimated 10-30 hours of gameplay, DownhillMadness is a unique single-player experience you won't find anywhere else!
