Mr. Shovel by yashmakesgames
Mr. Shovel is a tile-based puzzle game where you play as...Mr. Shovel. Steal all plants from the garden while avoiding the guards. But remember, Mr. Shovel digs where he walks, making that path unusable - so try not to run out of space!
This is my first submission! I will be posting later about my experience and what hurdles I faced during development.
I've opted out of all categories because I used the extra submission day to finish up. I still wanted to post the game to get feedback.
Controls: - Arrow Keys/WASD to move
Thanks and I hope you enjoy!

Few things to point out that was mentioned on the stream
* Adding a restart/replay button to the pause menu would be nice. There's on there when you get a level failed, but not on the pause menu. For a game like this with trail and error, being able to quickly restart is a must for the player
* I was a little confused at first about the "You can cross up to two blocks in front of a guard". At first i thought this meant I could be two tile distance away in front of a guard before they saw me. Figured it out though that it meant literally crossing over only two of the brown spaces in front of guard.
* There were a few times I was inputting to move, but it didn't seem like it was accepting my input. Not a gamebreaker.
Overall, this was a solid entry and would love to see more levels and play through them.

A little cutie game, I enjoyed the levels, I would play more if there would be.
Pretty well polished for a first submission. Good job! Nice profile pic!
