Phenomenal throwback to the past
Shovel Knight is a platformer, but in the style of NES games. The graphics are super detailed (for 8-bit hardware) and the music is phenomenal.
The game isn't very long, but it has multiple quests and secret items to discover. The level design is incredibly varied, no 2 levels are alike. Each level introduces new gimmicks to challenge you. And that's the only downside for me: the challenge. The game sometimes throws an obstacle at you that you can't do anything about the first time you encounter it. But other than that, you will enjoy Shovel Knight.
The game keeps surprising you and you will be left with a great experience.

Great platformer.
Shovel Knight is a fantastic platformer in the style of old 8-bit games like Super Mario Bros 3 and DuckTales. The game features great music and gameplay with well-functioning controls. What's also original is that they've given the main character a shovel as a weapon.

How do you easily defeat the Tinker Knight boss in under a minute?

The Tinker Knight boss is one of the tougher end bosses in Shovel Knight, but with this strategy, you can defeat him in under a minute!

Before you take on this boss, you'll need to find Chester the merchant in Clockwork Tower, the level where you fight Tinker Knight. Buy the Mobile Gear Relic for 3000 gold and head to the boss.

For phase 1 of the fight, all you need to do is throw the Mobile Gear at Tinker Knight. He will be knocked straight into the next phase by the Mobile Gear.

In phase 2, you need to climb onto Tinker Knight's robot as quickly as possible, perform the pogo attack, and land on the drill arm as soon as Tinker Knight moves to the right. Keep attacking until Tinker Knight is defeated.

Check out the YouTube video for more details.
