Yacht Club Games have announced that development is complete for puzzle-action adventure game Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon.
As previously reported, Shovel Knight has been trapped in the titular Pocket Dungeon; and with the help of Puzzle Knight seeks to escape. As blocks fall from the top of the screen (enemies, dirt blocks, potions and more), Shovel Knight can bump into them.
All blocks of the same kind touching each other react in a chain when bumped. When Shovel Knight bumps into an enemy, they trade damage. So, the player should keep some potions lying around to heal up.
Players can also use items and equipment, along with playing as one of 10 playable characters. There is also a 2-player versus mode, and the game’s whole soundtrack is by Jake Kaufman.
You can find the rundown (via Nintendo) below.
