- Chaos in the Galaxy Update - 26 June 2025
Hey rebel, long time no transmission!You’ve been out there, deep in galaxies, digging through ash, dodging lasers, and swinging through lava like it’s just another Tuesday. And we’ve been... recharging. After launch, things got a little rough behind the scenes, and we needed a breather. Our publisher stepped away shortly after release, and honestly, we were a bit burnt out. But some rest, determination, and an unreasonable amount of space coffee later... we’re back with our biggest update yet.— NEW SECRET CHALLENGES AWAIT —Almost every sector now hides brand-new secret challenge missions. We’re talking fresh bosses, tough platforming, dangerous traps, and even more reasons to revisit every corner of the galaxy.Find them all to unlock new achievements and prove you're the ultimate rebel operative. It’s the most content we’ve added since launch, and we can’t wait to see who conquers them…
- Dig & Swing Update - 29 June 2023
Salutations to you, weary space traveler! Your clothes look full of dirt and ash from digging earthy surfaces and venturing to volcanic planets with unlivable atmospheres, all in the name of the rebellion. We know exactly what you need, and it's our first content update bringing MORE of that! It looks like some planets have orbited too close to their sector's suns and their surface has been completely scorched, tragically ending all life and lush greenery on them... which makes them perfect for some GRAPPLE HOOK PRACTICE! Two new missions have been added to the game, in which you will have to prove your expertise with your rope and swing your way through fiery planets and reach the handsome rewards conveniently placed at their core. One false step (or swing) and you'll be toastier than Anakin Skywalker on the banks of Mustafar. Believe me, this is NOT the kind of tan you want to get. Th…
- Quality of Life Update - 19 April 2023
What's up space travellers and fellow Overlord opposers? We're just briefly docking our spaceship to spread the news about our latest patch. We've gathered some of our loyal rebel's righteous feedback and jerry-rigged an update that will focus on accessibility. If you want to show us your support for the game, please leave a positive review. We'd much appreciate your heroic action! Now, take a look at the improvements coming to the game. New Quality of Life features in settings menu Added an automatic dig/hit mode option - when enabled, keep the melee attack control pressed to dig/attack continuously, so you can wreck maximum chaos with minimum carpal tunnel. Added an option to Disable screen shake. You may fight alien fauna, space pirates and galactic oppressors, but not dizziness. Added an option to Disable bright flashes. We concluded it's a better fix than giving away sunglasses. Ad…

YEAH, ok, we didn't think anything clever about this one. - Made several adjustments to localization text…

Welcome to the rebellion! Please stand in line to receive your grappling hook and double-jump license. In DIG - Deep In Galaxies you will chart your own course as a space rebel, set to liberate the galaxy from a tyrannical Overlord. Only rule is, no rules. Will you go fully armed into battle against an army of rats, or face the Overlord's minions using a traffic sign as your weapon? Or will you choose to randomize your gear and make every battle an absurd and unpredictable challenge? No run will be the same! You might decide to excavate dangerous planets in search for relics left behind by ancient civilizations, or find yourself heroically carrying a potato sack to feed your fellow rebels. Or maybe you'll be gallivanting around the different sectors, looking for space stations to spend your well-earned ores and challenges to test your acrobatic, combat and digging skills. Are you ready…

We are working on adding new content and features to DIG with every update. The Overlord's patch generator is a bit unstable yet, which means some wormholes may swallow your ongoing run.

- DIG - Deep In Galaxies is back on Early Access! - 16 February 2023
DIG - Deep In Galaxies is back on Early Access! Remember that updating the game will erase any ongoing run! If you don't want to lose it, finish your run before updating the game. Calling all space adventurers with a knack for butt-kicking! After infiltrating the Overlord's base and managing to recover the stolen "Compile" button from his quarters, we finally have a version of the game that we consider complete, that meets our expectations and that we're really happy and proud to share. We're still implementing some minor tweaks and adjustments, so we've decided to bring the game back into Early Access state. So what does the Early Access mean? As said, the Early Access means we're still making some small adjustments to the game, which don't keep it from being fully and truly enjoyable as it is. But what does it mean to you specifically, you might ask? You can get the game at a discount…
