New in 1.1: Monster Traits. Pick a monster and unlock the two upgrades only it has — 18 in all. Plus original background music and a fresh app icon.
The heroes are coming to kidnap your Demon King — so grab your pickaxe and DIG!
Dig! Demon Castle is a reverse tower-defense roguelite where the dungeon itself is your weapon. Carve tunnels, grow a monster ecosystem, and crush the invading heroes.
HOW IT WORKS
- Dig tunnels to release nutrients from the soil
- Nutrients spawn Puni (slimes). Puni eat and evolve into Lizards. Lizards hunt Puni and evolve into Dragons
- A real food chain: feed it, balance it, and it will fight for you
- When the heroes invade, your ecosystem defends the Demon King
FEATURES
- Two modes: endless score attack & a 15-stage Expedition to topple the Human Castle
- 11 monsters to discover, including rare ones born only under special conditions
- Golden Puni, ghostly Borei, and a runaway Princess worth a hefty ransom
- Permanent upgrades: train each monster's HP, attack, and speed, plus 18 unique Traits that deepen what each monster does best
- Retro pixel art, chiptune sounds, and classic RPG-style windows
- Quick runs: one game takes just a few minutes
- Premium game: pay once, no ads, no in-app purchases
Every hero you defeat becomes nutrients for your dungeon. Nothing is wasted.
Protect the Demon King. The shovel is mightier than the sword.

■ Monster Traits
A new tab in Power Up. Pick a monster and buy the two upgrades only that monster has. Speed up Puni splitting, keep Lizzy from starving, make Batty deadly against ranged heroes, make Webby's webs harder to tear — 18 traits in all, two for each of the 9 monsters. The monsters you invest in now change how your dungeon fights.

Original music now plays on the title and codex screens, and during hero invasions.
■ New app icon
