Version 1.3 represents a long overdue "quality of life" update that makes several adjustments to existing features and adds some cool new stuff. For instance...

[h2]The Grappling Hook:[/h2]

This new ability unlocks at the third power-up in the sky. You can freely switch between the dirtpack and grapple, making it much easier (and much more fun!) to traverse up through the ground.



[h2]Other Key Changes:[/h2]

• Improved movement animations for doggo.
  
• New HUD elements to serve as reminders of which features you've unlocked. These can also be turned off in the pause menu settings.
  
• Better-looking main menu that reflects if Ice Mode is enabled.
  
• Several new sound effects.
  
• Gamepad controls have been updated to utilize the D-pad for toggling hats and grid mode.
  
• Some of the original hats have been restored, so there's now a mix of original and Halloween-themed hats.
  
• Build radius starts out bigger and only needs one upgrade to max out.
  
• Jetpack fuel has been significantly increased.
  
• Carry limit upgrades have been slightly increased.
  
• Heavy blocks have been removed, so there's no longer an underground barrier that requires a power-up to get past.
  

• Hold Shift (or click in the left analog stick on gamepads) to walk/move slower
  
• If playing with a touchpad with no pronounced mouse buttons, you can use the + and - keys on the keyboard to pick up and place dirt
  

All hats in the game have been replaced with new, Halloween-themed hats/costumes. These will remain even after Halloween ends, so there's no rush!



Hats are unlocked by finding presents underground. There are nine (spooky) hats in total.

Doggo Dig Down is now up and running on Linux! Only 64-bit versions of Ubuntu are guaranteed, but I'll do my best to support other flavors as they arise.

This update also adds some much needed background visuals throughout the game and improves a few other graphical and audio issues.

The trailer and screenshots have been updated to reflect the new look:

Version 1.1 adds a new, optional "Ice Mode" (accessed via the main menu) that makes all blocks slippery and keeps doggo moving. Try it out if you need an extra challenge or just want to goof around! Also in this update:

• Increased incremental carry limits
  
• Smoothed out jumping velocity
  
• Fixed a bug with color selecting
  

You can now try out Doggo Dig Down for free with the demo version of the game! The only difference between the demo and full game is that a barrier appears after the third power-up in the sky that prevents you from building any higher.

The demo supports cloud saving, though, so you won't lose any progress should you decide to upgrade. Achievements related to power-ups will also unlock the next time you find a power-up in the full version.

• Increased max jet fuel capacity
  
• Fixed issue with pause menu showing at start
  
• Steam overlay now pauses game when opened
  

• Added more indicators to help with the beginning of the game
  
• Adjusted the spacing in between power-ups
