About
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...
Spikes, TNT, Explosive blocks, Metal Blocks and many other things exist for you to avoid in the many levels of Shovelware.
Cosmetics...
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.
Cosmetics come as Body, Eyes, Head gear and Shovels. They do not affect the gameplay in any way but let you add your own flair to the in game character.
Over 100 Cosmetics exist, can you find and unlock them all?

I'm addicted. I see blocks when I shut my eyes. Update Edit: If you are after a game that will hold your hand and is all cosy, this is not it. Go back to your soulless AI phone game and let it take you for a lovely boring stroll. My TIPS to you - 1) You need to come at every level with a different play style. Some levels require you to take your time and plan a route, others you are better off rushing to the end. 2) Need more trophies? Go back to an easier stage and work your way through them, you'll be surprised how much easier they seem now. Easy, Medium and Hard on all levels count to the overall trophies needed in the entire game. 3) You can dig up, as long as the block isn't falling. I can't tell you how many times my dumb rump has done silly things like dug the wrong block or a TNT because I was not thinking. I often have to admit that I stupidly try to beat the falling block and I usually fail. Why do I try to beat the main mechanic of the game? Cos I'm a poopoo head who doesn't learn and I know I will keep doing it because I am stubborn. Overall nothing beats that rush when you finally complete the level.
Another fun little gem by Grindalf Games, don't let its simple controls fool you, there's plenty of complexity to be found in this arcade with plenty of replay value.

very nostalgic reminds me of some of the classic games. fun and challenging!
A simple, fun game that reminds of me of my favourite browser games as a kid! It has some fun optional challenges for each level to get more trophies and there are some cool gimmicks in there. The controls and mechanics are pretty intuitive but I wish there was a little in-game tutorial or something in the menu to tell you how to play the game. A friend gifted this to me but I'd say it's worth the price!
This game is a lot of fun, and it's challenging. I've spent 2 hours on it already and I'm only in the second League. Lots of creative levels and lots of extra stuff to unlock. It's so addictive.
Lots of fun and a good challenge, very addictive and colourful!
Reminds me of the sort of games you would play at school
Another charming banger from Grindalf Cant wait to play this more. My oldest child will love this!
Funny game.
Fun litte Game with way more depth then i initially thought The core Gameplay is simple,but because of the diffrent coloured/shaped Blocks,Harzards/Special Levels and even Bossbattles,every Level feels fresh The Gameplay and the Sounds reminds me of some good Old Arcade Games Its super easy to Pick up and just play some Rounds or ,,just one more Round,, Me Like
