- Some Bugs, Fixes & improvements! - 1 September 2026
Bug Fixes Fixed a bug where the HUB would load over and over again for some players. New Features & Improvements Added a new Skull-to-Flower conversion. At the end of a run, your collected Skulls are no longer completely lost. A portion of them is now converted into Flowers, which can be used to buy upgrades, characters, and more! Added a new stomp attack to the Triceratops. Added a new background to the Skill Tree. Added an alert to the Skill Tree that shows when you have enough Flowers to purchase an upgrade. Added a slight invincibility window when attacking enemies with a melee weapon, making it less punishing to get close to enemies with melee weapons. Thank you for playing! We hope you enjoy the new Skill Tree! Your Dino Slug Team

- New way to Upgrade: Skill Tree added! - 2 August 2026
We've completely revamped Dino Slug's progression system! The old permanent upgrades have been replaced with a brand-new Skill Tree and a new vendor in the Hub who lets you spend your currency on a much more flexible upgrade system. Don't worry all currency spent on the old permanent upgrades has been refunded, so you can immediately start building your new skill tree however you like. The new Skill Tree includes all of the upgrades you previously had access to, along with brand-new unlocks that give you even more ways to customize your runs and progress over time.
