Shovel Knight is a 2014 action platformer developed and published by independent developer Yacht Club Games for the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, PC, Mac OSX and for Linux.
Shovel Knight was directed by former WayForward Technologies member Sean Velasco and includes music composed by Jake Kaufman and Manami Matsumae.
Shovel Knight is a 2D side-scrolling platform game. The game features 8-bit graphics designed to resemble classic games. The color scheme used adheres to the Nintendo Entertainment System's original color palette, and includes visual touches such as parallax scrolling. The player controls the eponymous Shovel Knight character, who wields a sharpened shovel that is used to attack enemies, destroy barriers, and dig up treasures.
This reaks of epic retro gameplay... I´m waiting for the european realease on the 3DS.
Music from Jake Kaufman is great, he´s done quite a impressive work for games in the last couple of years.
