fr!i wouldn't call myself as an og as I found shovelware in 2019 but...their games were one of the best hits!i remember saving spookypants to my favorites until one day,it dissappeared.i never knew it was because of copyright and thought it was because I didn't play it often cuz I already finished the game...

thankfull Despicable forces has a DELUXE reupload

Shovelware Studios was the best childhood I could've asked for and I wish nothing but the best for them in the future :]

[@sticopath4130]

Oh it's you

Same bro same. I remember all the obbys.

[@cerealORRH]

@@PixelFoxTV_ Joined in March '18, Shovelware was one of the best obby experiences I have experienced.

[@TB_Corey]

shovelware studio was full of nostalgia obbies, and it was the main reason why i like obbies. can’t wait to see more games from them

[@UFOSHost]

Being a part of Roblox since 2016, This entire group was my childhood. I'm surprised how close together all the games release dates were

[@J0KERR3577]

Shovelware carried my entire Roblox childhood and a few years later I found this group that archived the games and I played through them all again and felt the happiness I once felt years ago. Truly amazing

[@HammerProductions123]

What’s the groups name

[@Kamilxd]

I'd just like to point out that the Spongebob one is the first obby by Dogon, the owner of Shovelware Studios, made in 2015 called "The Spongebob Movie Adventure Obby", which he then reuploaded onto the group.

[@bordr_12]

most of the games were taken down due to copyright reasons but i loved them because in the “ditch school and get rich” obby i loved the star wars level it was so much fun

[@thomasawl]

I love how they went from making literal shovelware obbies to EXTREMELY good games

[@emiliovargas8800]

This studio gave me so much nostalgia, i remember watching Ethan gamer play this and then me trying to complete the obby myself, good times. Seeing the team getting more popularity makes me extremely happy.

[@cerealORRH]

I joined Roblox in March 2018, Shovelware's obbies were one of the first obby games I ever played, this is so nostalgic for me because I used to love the obbies so much when I was younger, but around Early 2019, I started to drift away, because I played many other obstacle type games that I was so obsessed with, such as: the Flood Escape Series + FE2 Fangames (Early 2018 - Late 2019), The Doom Wall 2 Burst (2018 - 2019) and many, many more which drove me away from Shovelware, and I forgot about them until in 2022 when I saw the group removing old obbies on YT. I was devastated, but I was happy when they made a comeback just earlier this year! I'm giving special thanks to Shovelware for shaping my childhood.

[@churrito86]

When u join a shoveling runners game they got free stuff and a stage selecter

[@kevin-uz7mo]

Ditch school to get rich is literally the first game ive ever played in roblox after seeing this video a huge nostalgia just hit my brain and it makes me sad that my first roblox game that i played is not playable. I joined roblox around the rthro era, and i didnt know how to change camera with keyboard since im like 7 when i played the obby

[@PKFALLS]

Man I will never forget their obbys, the SpongeBob, and cars was so innovative. I played every one of their obbys. I’m glad to see them thrive again.

[@stage_four_frostbite]

The cars one was amazing ngl.

[@re_oph]

I played all of Shovelware's games to death, I'm glad they've been reuploaded for others to play them for the first time

[@alfredo6391]

I’m just happy that after the takedown of the obbys they were able to find new success.

[@YEZ_U]

Being a roblox player since december 2015, this gives a positive feeling, the nostalgia of this obbies that i would play with my bigger cousin, and a friend that i lost contact with, this is and will, be amazing

[@TheNooberGoober]

I’m so sad everyone stopped watching you after you stopped making the RB battles videos your genuinely so talented and I hope someone reacts to more of your videos so they rise in popularity because you genuinely deserve it.

[@iceyboi]

It's important to mention he only got around 100 - 1K per video before he did the RB Battles videos.

[@tondemowonders]

I loved shovelware studios’ games when I was younger, I remember when I used to log on every day during summer and start off my 10+hr Roblox sessions with one of their games. My favorite being Ditch School to Get Rich and the Captain Underpants games. They’re truly a gem in the Roblox community

[@cheerio4000]

i just played shrunken school obby and i was confused why it felt so familiar, and i was amazed at how well made the game was. i spent hours after playing all the associated shovelware games ,,, it’s so cool to hear about their history now! thanks

[@kwertigy]

the amount of work u put into this... proud of u man! keep it up

[@MemeAhoy]

thank you so much anti hero! it really means a lot!

[@Imjustabladubon999]

I remember when i was a little more younger play those nostalgic obbies,and shovelware is that group that doesnt much care about the money,but for the passion

[@grimms8783]

It's weird seeing shovelware studios grow considering I was around during its starting creation back when Dogon was making the Paper Mario Roleplay games, and actually interacted with Dogon a lot during events on those games.

[@belowfactual]

I remember playing the silly obbies about captin underpants so much times and never got tired if it. Nostalgia hits hard

[@xmarksthespotmusicchannel5009]

I remember playing the captain underpants 2 obby, the loads of people collenting candy from houses, that one section where you were hiding from the black figure (i had nightmares after that) and all the other sections of the game. But now, in the re-upload its totally different, almost no servers, only like one other person collecting candy from the houses, being the only one hiding from the figure. It just feels so melancholy, or like a source map.

[@CuteandAmazingYuki]

I remember the old shovelware studio games but as i growed up i forgot them but when shovelwares brain game came out i remembered them they made my childhood so i owe alot to them thanks to the team for making my child hood the best

[@Demon-es6eu]

As someone who actually played their obbeys as a kid i am so glad they returned

[@i_asked00]

Shovelwave studios is such a memory, i remember playing the orginal games, they were so fun and thats was when i was 6, four years ago, The pals, shovelwave studios, and minecraft, gotta be the best child hood you have ever had.

[@Norbiter]

As a player from 2017 i want to go back in time so much

[@chadgorosaurus4898]

Those shovelware obbies were so peak. It was sad how they removed them. Luckily, people have reuploaded them to be preserved.

[@Darsanimations]

You make me cry whit a lot of nostalgia 😢

[@dleonfores]

bro thank u for reminding of this group and games bro.. this was fun games back then in 2017 -2018 like for me this when life peaked for me on roblox like old jailbreak was fun asf watchin all the ogs like Albert/The Pals/ Gaming With Kev/ jones got game/ Sketch/ And many more thank u for remindin for this group thanks bro

[@meltedangel]

I was and always will be nostalgic for shovelware studios obbys, especially the Despicable forces one, i remember playing it back in 2018/2019 after i saw some if my favorite KZbinrs at the time play it, and ever since ive been trying to find it and im so glad that i did

[@kenitra123]

I'm genuinely so sad the games got deleted, they were my childhood

[@IDevTapok]

Don't worry. The players managed to save the games and they exist

[@乍]

One thing I will mention is that the older games were recently given a bigger boost in popularity because of a KZbin Shorts and TikTok trend taking place in the obbies. I love this video a lot and it made me nostalgic for old Shovelware Games! 🥲

[@MemeAhoy]

i’m glad you enjoyed the video man! shovelware studios is definitely nostalgic for me!

[@SmolBaconRBLX]

M-I-A-M-I, RUNNING OUT OF TIME…

[@PENGYSWAREHOUSEOFFICIAL]

[@MichaelOchoa-pk7zc]

This studio was fun!

[@iceyboi]

Good history lesson! I didn't know about their lesser known titles, minus that I might have played one of them not knowing it was by them.

[@IncorrectHB]

Shovelware has always been my favorite gaming company. I remember playing the Cars obby the most but I've played them all. I was sad when i saw that all of there games were deleted but im happy that they updated the original captain underpants obby and the new gameshow game.

[@Zorgashes]

I was on roblox before the first shovelware game came out, was truly a fantastic time. Im glad Shovelware isnt stopping production even after all their games got wiped, cant wait for the future!

[@Michael-Gaming-6009]

This was an amazing video and amazing editing :)

[@MemeAhoy]

thanks!

[@blablaroarwwe]

We can definitely see the amount of work you put into this video

[@yeetboiwhatyesplease2095]

I think another reason why shovelware studios took off in popularity was that there weren’t that many good Obbys in Roblox back in 2017/2018. I mean, there were was tower of hell and a few others, but most lobbies were just free model garbage with products shoved at you every stage. Shovelware was different, had actual effort put into it, and stood out from the rest of the obby genre on Roblox as it wasn’t too difficult for new players like tower of hell is.

[@MercuryLuke]

They made my whole child hood and im so glad i had the time to play EVERY GAME THEY MADE! Im so happy how it turned out and oh what i would give for those old games to be back

[@carlosohno]

Brooo..the nostalgia of playing the captain underpants obby..JEEEZ

[@Epic_Tord]

The old games were my childhood, i miss them so much, especially the christmas grinch game, there was captain underpants and captain underpants halloween, diary of a wimpy kid, cars, they were so good

[@YouthfulAngelF]

Nice that you included my Goldware Games group in the video! The rest of the video was great as well!

[@MemeAhoy]

glad you liked it! your group definitely is the successor to shovelware when it comes to obbies!

[@ThatWeirdPig]

Wow, truly a beautiful video! Great work as always!

[@Ashent1]

5:02 when i was younger and saw this error screen after clipping out of the map it scared the crap out of me, i remember just going silent as it started counting down and turning down my xbox’s volume all the way as i was scared it was gonna scream at me, scared the living hell out of younger me

[@ZONA83]

THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE GAMES IN SHOVELING RUNNERS ARE LEGENDS FOR BRINGING BACK THE OLD GAMES!! THEY WILL BE KNOWN FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS!!!!

[@Dizy-Nurlan]

I remember playing shovelware games in 2018 when i first joined ROBLOX, i played the captain underpants game first. I played the game hundreds of times. its super Nostalgic

[@Mr_Eggz_yup_dats_my_real_name]

i still remember the whole shovelware obby universe story lol

[@visorgaming7685]

this video gives me nostalga thanks man for cheering up my day

[@jzrsg]

i love this shovel ware i recently played all there obbys again i first played there games in late 2018 i loved all of them espcially captain underpants spongebob diary of a wimpy kid i played all of there obby except for the second dispicable me forces and i did not play the turkey and tycoon game well i might have played the turkey game but not that much but shovelware studios will always have a place in my heart

[@JayRobloxYTube]

I’ve played all the obbies when i was new to Roblox. When I saw they were back with shovelware’s brain game, I was overfilled with joy and played it instantly. I automatically remembered all of the games and memeories I made in shovelwares games. If shovelware sees this, thank you.

[@daze.e.cheese]

i remember playing these games growing up. these were so god damn fun. i'm so happy they've come back!

[@meowmeow9617]

It’s crazy how they made these simplistic(but still good) games and leave without a trace, then come back randomly and make one of the best Roblox games ever

[@Ra_ggdd]

Shovelware studios had some of my favourite games. I loved playing them they were so funny and full of life I remember playing all of the old ones. Rip Captain Underpants.

[@abest5164]

I remember watching my older brother play save lightning McQueen obby when I was 5. I am currently 11 and entering secondary school and I still remember most of the obbies including save lightning McQueen

[@Sockaboy]

[@MemeAhoy]

thanks! :D

[@Cabab-on-the-cob]

Me and my siblings used to live their games, and we still love them now

[@ColttyzIsNoobYT]

2-3 weeks of waiting was worth it (i didnt watch it yet but looks cool)

[@Monomonkeyman23]

I love how they made the Agents in shrunken school obby work for the D.M.C.A and when they took down the villain he said (DMCA takedown), which is a reference to why they had to remake it

[@Plutonium_94]

I remember playing all of these back in 2017-18. Wow, the good old days.

[@sujashah8427]

This game brings back so many memories, for the good old days in 2017, sad that they are gone😢

[@korbreal]

Something that wasn’t mentioned was that I believe they also made a Nintendo (primarily) role play game. I remember playing it and seeing a Shovelware Studios pop-up. After searching on KZbin, the game seems pretty obscure. Though, I could be wrong. It was pretty high quality!

[@MemeAhoy]

I did some research, and dang it looks like Shovelware Studios indeed made such a game! Quite neat.

[@korbreal]

@@MemeAhoy Epic! Any idea what it was called? I completely forgot!

[@MemeAhoy]

I don’t exactly remember what it was called off the top of my head, but I do know that it once existed.

[@korbreal]

@@MemeAhoy That’s unfortunate, but thanks for replying!

[@korbreal]

@@MemeAhoy ALSO: I have an animation related question. If I place a key frame far away, then a bit before the actual key frame position, it will play in slow motion and quicken as it reaches the keyframe. It basically starts playing before the little line on the track even touches the keyframe. Any idea how to fix/disable this? Also, I’m using Moon Animator.

[@hungariancountryball2928]

Man i miss these older obbies

[@Blue_Games2021]

I was a player who tried to beat all of Shovelware’s Obbies back then, and when I saw that they were erased from the platform. I was sad. But when I saw Shovelwares Brain Game, I remembered about those obbies again, and decided to play the game, and it was fun.

[@Goldenglitter-wz4hq]

When you said "Through June 17th 2017 to October 29th" Got me really surprised. Because the shovelware studios clearly finished on my Birthday

[@krow1551]

It's funny as I was playing Jailbreak and what not, most of these games flew under my radar since they looked so much like all the other games. It wasn't until I tried Despicable forces that I realized what was really going on. A lot of really fun nods to the sonic series even including the creepy error screen. My GF and I as a joke played a game called "Cart Ride Into Get Eaten By Zavok Obby" which to our suprise had quite a bit of love put into it and seems to be inspired directly by the shovelware obby games
