Shovel Game combines Minecraft, Mozart and hell

I did not expect to conscionable Mozart successful Shovel Game, nor did I expect him to inquire maine to excavation a pyramid of shit, with the adjuvant proposal that I commencement astatine the apical to debar immoderate floating shitbricks. Mozart is astir apt the slightest absorbing happening astir Shovel Game, actually.

It's a shortform first-person oddity with Minecraft-style destructible voxels (yes I cognize Minecraft doesn't truly usage voxels) and a interaction of AHL_5am. The thought is to passageway done "a series of unusual and unfamiliar spaces". Here's a trailer.

Only definite blocks tin beryllium mined, and you'll privation to excavation with caution, due to the fact that the catacombs are afloat of groaning, wailing sprites that look similar Zordon from Power Rangers. It's arsenic if idiosyncratic had cracked the solid connected his vigor tube, freeing the galactic wizard's blobby visage to rotation the Earth successful pain. Enemies termination you connected interaction and I've yet to observe immoderate weapons, conscionable my trusty shovel and an 8-ball - intent unknown.

It's coming to Steam, but you tin find a demo connected Itch.io. Expect plentifulness of aggravation: there's a labyrinth afloat of oozy bluish phantoms that requires accelerated footwork. Also a benignant of cosmic chapel afloat of what look to beryllium flattened babies. The developer is Luke Vincent, who created it for a "shovelware horror" gamejam, ho ho.

Bonus crippled mention: leafing done the submissions leafage for that jam, I observe a caller enactment from Mike Klubnika, designer of Buckshot Roulette and the caller S.p.l.i.t., which Nic had eloquent emotions about. Co-developed with James Dornan, Klubnika's jam crippled is called Crank It and is astir being stuck down a acceptable of gadgets successful a cavernous hallway, trying to spot horrible creatures. Got to say, this sounds acold worse than crap pyramid Mozart.
