Shovel Knight is amazing. As soon as I beat it I immediately began playing again because it was so much fun. The whole knockback thing didn't bother me too much, I honestly don't remember dying a lot from falling into pits. It wasn't exactly Castlevania difficult. The bosses varied in quality I agree but I can't think of a single game where every single boss was memorable.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
