Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove

This is an adventure game in which players assume the roles of the Shovel Knight and assorted characters on quests to stop evil forces. As players run and jump through side-scrolling levels, they use a shovel to swat or hop on fantastical enemies (e.g., giant insects, skeletons). Enemies disappear amid puffs of smoke and scattered jewels when defeated. Some game modes allow players to engage in one-on-one/multiplayer battle challenges, involving more protracted combat. A handful of characters are depicted with frothy mugs of beer.
