It's good. There are several layers of parallax and the effect is pretty good at making the stages look cool.
The structure of this game doesn't sound too appealing to me, which is a bummer because I at least want to hear the music!
idk, maybe I'll risk it. The reviews aren't helping me very much. Is there a decent way to make this game kinda sorta tough and tense without feeling like you're holding yourself back? The destroying checkpoints thing might not be enough. Does it seem reasonable to beat this game without buying upgrades or something? lol

Can someone help me decide which version to get, the Wii U or 3DS? Is there even a 3D effect?
Literally answered at the top of this page.

Can you plug headphones into the Wii U gamepad to get audio even if the game is displaying on the TV?

plz appear on eshop soon, its such a beautiful day to play shovel knight. 
Yup! That's how I played zombiu.
I've never done this, nor felt the need to. I have only replayed stages to find stuff I missed the first time through.

I think you're reading wrong... people are saying that there's *too much* gold. Like they need another gold sink in the game because 2/3rds through it they've bought every last thing for sale and have no incentive to collect the gems any more.

Cool. I hate to ask but it's ridiculous that some games like Wind Waker HD don't support it.
Ran into a weird glitch when battling Tinker Knight. After beating it's first form the screen did not scroll down, then it snapped down but I couldn't move he was just doing the animation of him raising his shovel. I had to restart the level.

Edit: Redid the level and the same thing happened. WTF? Anyone else run into this glitch?

3DS version downloaded.
I'll be able to play it when I get the chance.

Beat the Hall of Champions last night before going to bed.
What can I say? This game is fantastic.
I mean, this isn't a masocore game. It's just a straight platformer that does what it does very very well.
NG+ may be more your speed, but yeah, this game isn't intentionally trying to kick you in the dick.

My non-backer pre-order is now available on Humble, but... no Steam key?
Same, only have direct download at the moment.

Just finished the game a few minutes ago.
Overall, one of my favorite games in recent memory. I'll be going back to this one for years to come.

Go to your HB library, scroll to the very bottom and select the shovel Knight kickstarter option. Your key should be there.

There is no Kickstarter option. The link just says "Shovel Knight" because we preordered from the HB store. The page for it doesn't have a Steam key.

Goddamnit. I was too under the impression that i would get a steam key from HB!
E-mailed the support though with hope that they can help me out with a Steam key.. Are they usually fast with answering e-mails?Same here I bought the game last night.
My Humble page for it only has a direct download, no Steam key yet.
Edit: Maybe this is due to the game not being for sale on steam yet, the store page still says an hour until it unlocks...

"yet" as in you know for a fact that there will be a steam key? Please tell me it's so!
