Arm Spin Style
Type Style
Effect Gem veins replaced by crates; shops much rarer
Unlock 3,000 total gems collected
First appearance Downwell (2015)

Arm Spin Style is the first style to unlock, at 3,000 lifetime gems. Welltaro descends arms-a-whirl, and the well's economy shifts around him: the gem veins found in safe zones are always replaced by crates holding gun modules, and the chance of a side room being a shop drops from 1 in 2 to 1 in 7.

Strategy

With gem veins gone, gems come mostly from enemies, so combos matter more. Every regular safe zone now guarantees a fresh weapon; just don't count on shops appearing when you need one.
