How does one make a side-scrolling miniature board game? Every round in Shovel Knight: Dungeon Duels ends with the leftmost tile falling off, removing treasure, enemies, and Knights from the board. Afterwards, a random, new tile will be flipped over on the right! #shovelknight pic.twitter.com/f6T8WYzK90
