A fast-paced, precise platformer where you collect a shovel in each short, increasingly tough level, with a tight three-life system and a built-in timer.

What players say

Players call it a simple, short retro platformer with 21 levels that takes under 2 hours to beat. It has easy and hard modes, tight controls, and some bugs like softlocking on death. Many say it is fun for the low price but over quickly.
