What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
SHOVELBOY is a retro-inspired 2D platformer with tight, focused level design that appeals to fans of classic arcade games, though it comes with a notably high difficulty and brief playtime. Players praise the solid gameplay mechanics and appreciate the inclusion of both easy and hard modes for accessibility, but most criticize the game's shortness as its primary weakness. The consensus suggests it's a worthwhile purchase for those who enjoy precision platformers and quick arcade-style challenges, particularly at its low price point.

Since the gamespeed is a bit higher, the difficulty seems also a bit high. For those who like old-console games. シャベルを取得してゴールに向かうミニゲーム。速度が少し速めなので、精緻な操作が必要とされる場所もある。安価。8 found this helpful
Good gameplay but too short.
SHOVELBOY is a retro-inspired 2D platformer created and published by LGV that embraces the simplicity and challenge of classic arcade games. Built around a minimal but focused gameplay loop, the title places players in control of a small pixelated hero whose objective is to navigate a series of compact levels in search of hidden shovels. Rather than presenting a large narrative adventure or expansive environments, the game concentrates on delivering tightly designed stages that test reflexes, timing, and precision. Its design philosophy reflects an appreciation for early platforming titles where skillful movement and persistence were the primary tools required for success. The premise of the game is intentionally straightforward. Players guide the protagonist through a series of platforming challenges with the goal of finding and collecting a shovel in each level. The shovel acts as the key to progression, allowing the character to dig forward and unlock access to the next stage. While the story itself remains minimal, the concept provides a simple structure that keeps the focus on gameplay. Each level essentially becomes a small obstacle course where the player must reach the sho…
One of the best LGV platformers. Nice that it has easy and hard mode so that it is enjoyable for everyone
a neat short arcade games with 21 short levels where you control a boy looking for his shovel collection
It is a sweet and short platformer.
