Shovel Knight will be getting a price increase to $40 by April 2019

I got a digital copy and then later got a physical copy from my local game store. I also got it on console dunno what it is about this game but i think the 50% off at the current price will be the best way to get it unless you can wait a few more years.

Just a warning for those who are thinking of buying it despite (or because of) the ever increasing price...It is not as good as people make it out to be:

• Instant death pits and spikes everywhere (These were bad back on NES, and they're still bad now).
• Effects that make it impossible to see where you're going (while over instant death pits).
• Knockback when striking enemies (so attacking enemies will probably get you thrown into an instant death pit half the time).
• No ability to swing shovel upwards (big problem for enemies that come from above).

The game is filled with bad design decisions. But I've only played as the Shovel Knight character, I haven't tried the other characters yet so maybe it's a better game when played as one of them...
