Welcome to Shovelware, an engaging classical Arcade game where you have to reach the bottom of the level. Dig stable tunnels, avoid falling blocks, explosives and many other traps and contraptions. One hundred levels in a multitude of leagues, many trophies and countless cosmetics await you. Beware of falling blocks... In Shovelwares classic style gameplay, Blocks will fall when a space has been opened up underneath them. But they also cling to other blocks of the same colour so plan your route and build stable mineshafts through the level. Other obstacles exist to avoid...

There are many cosmetics for you to purchase with the Gems you find scattered around the level, Other cosmetics can be unlocked by completing tasks in certain levels.
