Hello everyone! We're excited to share a major update for Infinite Ruins focused on improving progression, pacing, replayability, and giving you more reasons to keep digging. Based on your feedback and our observations since launch, we've made some significant changes to how the game unfolds across your first runs, added a completely new Journal, introduced Elemental Synergies, and reworked Endless Mode. New Progression StructureWe've split the upgrade tree into stages so that players don't unlock and maximize most of the game's content during their first one or two runs. Nothing has changed visually in the upgrade tree, but the progression gates have been rebalanced to encourage you to prestige and gradually discover the deeper mechanics of Infinite Ruins. You can still grind your way to the next stage without Prestiging, but Prestiging will make reaching these milestones much more efficient. The goal is to make each run feel like a meaningful step forward rather than allowing too much of the game to be unlocked at once. Rune GenerationRune generation has also been reworked. Starting from the fifth Rune generation point of each run, generating additional Runes becomes progressively more difficult. This makes Prestiging a much more important part of optimizing your progression and encourages you to decide when it's time to collapse the ruins and start again. Hidden VeinsHidden Veins no longer requires specific upgrades or Prestige upgrades to appear. Instead, its resource cost has been increased considerably. This makes it a more straightforward progression gate while…

Hello everyone! First of all, thank you to everyone who has played Infinite Ruins since launch. Seeing you explore the ruins, discover new mechanics, and share your thoughts has been incredibly rewarding. We've received a lot of valuable feedback from the community, and this update focuses on improving the overall experience with quality-of-life changes, Steam Deck improvements, bug fixes, and clearer game information. If you're enjoying the game, please consider leaving a Steam review. It really helps an indie developer reach more players and continue improving the game. ImprovementsAdded Cloud Save support. Improved several upgrade descriptions to make their effects clearer. Most upgrades now display specific stats such as Damage, Probability, Duration, etc. instead of the generic Effect label. Swift Steps can now be purchased after unlocking either the Rock Golem or the Mechanic Golem, since it benefits all golems. Treasure Golems now display a summary of all resources dropped when defeated. Echo Mining pickaxes are now only shown when they actually hit a block and are easier to distinguish from the main pickaxe. Improved gamepad and Steam Deck navigation in the Upgrades panel. Every slot in the grid can now be navigated, preventing confusing cursor jumps. Added clearer antisynergy warnings to Frozen Depths and Ember Depths. Added an option to disable the Upgrades and Golems button shake when new purchases become available. Updated gamepad controls to better match common standards:Right stick: Camera movementLeft stick: Cursor movementImproved the Hands On achievement…

Infinite Ruins Playtest Closes July 26 as Kileka Games Signals Launch Ahead
The Steam Playtest for Infinite Ruins (AppID 4317900) will close on July 26 at 19:00 CEST, developer Kileka Games announced on July 25.
In a brief community post, the studio credited participant feedback with driving a range of changes before the playtest window ends.
What changed
According to the announcement, player feedback led to improvements across several areas:
Gameplay balance adjustments
Progression pacing refinements
UI changes
Quality-of-life features
No specifics were given on the nature or scope of any individual change.
Kileka Games is also asking remaining playtesters to complete a feedback form before the playtest closes, linking to an external Google Form. The post closes with a reference to a future launch, though no date or window is provided.
For players who participated, the announcement suggests their time in the ruins had measurable influence on the game's current state — a modest but meaningful signal that the feedback loop between this playtest and the eventual release was, at minimum, active.
