Dig Dug REMIX offers players 256 levels of the original arcade game and a REMIX version packed with features like boss battles and exciting power-up items. The famous enemies, “Pooka” and “Fygar,” return as players dig through dirt while destroying the enemies using an air pump and rocks.

• Enhanced Shovel – Improves digging speed.
• Drill – Improves digging speed and able to dig firm dirt.

There are three difficulty settings and players can choose from normal or free play, allowing players to play previously cleared stages.
