" Guake is a top-down terminal for Gnome, and is highly inspirated by the famous terminal used in Quake .
You can instantaneously show and hide your terminal with a single key stroke, execute a command, and then go back to your previous task without breaking your workflow. "
It's maintained on GitHub, so you might be able to manually install it or find a package for it in your package manager. At least on Arch you can install gnome-shell-extension-ddterm-git from the AUR.

Have you seen Guake? That's pretty much what you're looking for. http://guake-project.org/

That's very good! But the dev don't want to add animations. I really wanted it to roll top down, like in quake.

I use ddterm, which is pretty much the only remaining drop-down terminal extension. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3780/ddterm/
