SHOVELBOY is a retro-inspired platformer packed with challenge and charm. Players take on the role of a determined adventurer, collecting one unique shovel in each of the 21 handcrafted levels.

The game features a built-in timer, two modes (HARD and EASY), and a speedrun leaderboard for competitive play. Special mechanics include double jump, five platform types, and three enemy types—ranging from random movers to fixed shooters and persistent followers. SHOVELBOY delivers fast-paced action and replay value for fans of classic platformers. It’s perfect for those who enjoy precise controls and rewarding progression.
