Dig Out!, Zimad's mining platformer, receives a huge update that adds new mechanics as well overhauling the visual style

ZiMad's action mining adventure Dig Out! has received a sizeable update that adds a host of new content alongside new visuals. This seems to be in vogue at the moment following Snoopy's Town Tale's graphical overhaul and the remaster of Reed. The update is available now.

If you're unfamiliar with Dig Out! it's a fairly casual platformer where you'll set to work mining gold and diamonds as you delve deeper underground. You'll face numerous enemies on the way who'll want to prevent you from gathering those valuables.

The update has removed a few older features and added some new ones in their place. Previously you were constructing a small village whereas now you'll be working on a stronghold where you'll be able to upgrade your pickaxe and gain other bonuses.

They've also added new bosses called the underground kings. These new enemies will apparently have unique mechanics and each will provide you with a reward when you beat them. The mechanics of the game have also been altered as well with bombs, gravestones, curses and killer bushes all acting differently to how they did previously.

They've also altered how biomes work within Dig Out. Previously you'd have to make your way to each of the different types such as necropolis or jungle, which meant that some players weren't able to see them. Now each dig will take place in one location so you'll be able to experience multiple different biomes in one run.

Dig Out! is an exceptionally popular title having amassed over 5 million downloads on Google Play alone. It also holds a 4-star rating on both the App Store and Google Play, so it'll be interesting to see if these apparently big changes are welcomed by the wider community or not.

Dig Out is available now on the App Store and Google Play. It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
