This game is a gateway drug into Indie Games, be careful when taking the Shovel pill.

When I played Hollow Knight for the first time I pogo'd on a single enemy and went "OMG its Shovel Knight" and played through the entire story.

When I played Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, I saw the Knight unit and went "OMG it has a shield like Shield Knight" and beat every campaign.

I played Omori and saw the pixel graphics and went "OMG its just like the Shovel Knight artstyle" and 100% the entire game and even learnt how to mod Omori.

I went outside and saw grass, thought "Shovels dig up grass" and realised that grass is a Shovel Knight reference making me want the earth to reclaim me so I could become Dirt Knight.

Update as of 2024:
I have now 100%'d Shadows Over Loathing, Super Lesbian Animal RPG, Bug Fables and Slay the Princess. I have like 5 Indie Games in my backlog at all times. I have also been modding Terraria.
