Dandy's World update log: what changed in every version
The current version is Alpha 0.29.10, released octubre 23, 2026 as part four of the Halloween patches and the home of The Hollow event. The Dandy's World Wiki's three changelog pages (2024, 2025 and 2026) list 18 dated entries for 2024, 45 for 2025 and 52 so far in 2026, counting hotfixes. That is a lot of text, so this guía sorts it by year and by what mattered: new Toons and eventos, system changes, and the balance changes that changed how a Toon plays.
Nothing here comes from in-game testing of these versions. Everything comes from the wiki changelogs, and the figures are quoted as the wiki gives them. Versions the wiki lists without content (many patches say only "Unknown") are skipped. The wiki also has placeholder entries for octubre 30, noviembre 6 and a diciembre Christmas update, but nothing confirmed for them, so this log stops at 0.29.10.
How the version numbers work
Every version is "Alpha 0.x.y". A new middle number ending in .1 is a content actualización: a new Toon, an evento or a system. Higher numbers after it (0.17.2, 0.17.3 and so on) are patches that fix bugs and tune numbers, and the wiki often lumps several together, such as 0.15.9 to 0.15.12 on enero 31, 2026. Hotfixes between patches sometimes have no version number at all. Since 2026 the game has also run a "Toon of the Week" cycle: a Toon gets a week-long actualización with a Golden skin and a title, and a patch seven days later removes the purchasable content. Skins, titles and gamepasses you already bought stay usable.
2024: launch year
The game went from an Alpha trailer on junio 7, 2024 to the Alpha release on junio 14. The 2024 changelog has 18 dated entries.

Two things from 2025 still define the game. Dyle's Floor and Dyle's Store arrived in 0.11.1 (agosto 2025), the same version that added Ichor Leaks and the Circle Machine. The Treadmill Machine followed in 0.12.1 in septiembre. Each holiday ran for roughly five weeks and then its Toons, Twisteds and trinkets left the store: Easter 2025 from abril 18 to mayo 23, Halloween from octubre 10 to noviembre 14, and Christmas from diciembre 12 to enero 16.

May to septiembre was the Toon of the Week run, with Machines and Profiles in between. octubre is the Halloween event, which the wiki lists as running to noviembre 6, 2026.
2026 changes that affect how you play today
- Floor spawning (0.15.1). Diner and Greenhouse floors can appear from floor 1 instead of floor 6, and Warehouse, Gift Shop and Sprout's Floor from floor 6 instead of 11. Astro's, Shelly's and Vee's floors moved from floor 16 to floor 6. See the floors guía.
- Twisted count (0.15.1 and 0.15.19). The cap went from 6 to 8, solo runs stay at 6, and duplicates of the same Twisted no longer appear.
- Ichor Leaks (0.15.1). 14 puddles instead of 6, with Slow I applied as a real debuff.
- Machines (0.19.1, 0.22.1). Duo Machines pair any two of the Default, Circle and Treadmill types, and Swimmy Barnaby Machines join the same pairings. Items can no longer be picked up while extracting (0.19.2 to 0.19.4).
- Break Room (0.23.1). A rest room that appears every 25 floors, with 2 fixed Machines whatever the player count and no Twisteds or floor eventos.
- Skill Check button (0.24.1). Press-and-hold returned and the button got bigger, with a larger increase on mobile.
- Soulvester (0.29.1). Rework plus a Soul Sword buff that gives him an extra heart when the trinket is equipped.
Toon, Twisted and trinket balance changes
These are the balance changes the wiki's changelogs list, oldest first. Cooldown and percentage figures are quoted as written. Where a figure's unit is unclear, it is left out, which is why the 0.12.4 Treadmill star-value rework is not in the table.
| Date | Version | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Jul 12, 2024 | 0.2 | Astro's ability restores all Stamina instead of 50 percent; Astro gains a Movement Speed star, Pebble a Skill Check star, Vee a Stamina star; Poppy's ability lasts 3 seconds instead of 2.5; Scraps' ability cooldown 45 to 30; Twisted Toodles moves from Common to Uncommon |
| Jul 13, 2024 | 0.2.1 | Tisha's Tidy Up speed boost cut from 33 percent to 25 percent |
| Aug 14, 2024 | 0.3 | Pebble's abilities and Mastery reworked; Thermos regeneration 10 to 15 percent; Coin Purse price 250 to 200 Ichor; Twisted Shelly applies Confused I instead of II |
| Sep 28, 2024 | 0.4 | Scraps' grapple cooldown 30 to 25 and pull time 0.75 to 0.5 seconds; Diary becomes 25 percent Stealth |
| Jan 11, 2025 | 0.6.1 hotfix | Bobette's Skill Check lowered to 4 stars and Movement Speed raised to 3 stars |
| Jul 3, 2025 | 0.10.1 | Teagan's Tea Time costs 75 Tapes instead of 100; Vee's Mic Check cooldown 60 to 50 seconds and Camera Hijack highlights 2 Machines |
| Sep 12, 2025 | 0.12.1 | Brusha's Skill Check size boost 25 to 50 percent |
| Nov 26, 2025 | 0.13.14 | Astro's Nap Time cooldown 75 to 60 seconds; Brusha's Skill Check chance boost 25 to 50 percent |
| Dec 12, 2025 | 0.14.1 | Coal's Scout cooldown 100 to 30 seconds; Bobette's Festive Aura gives a 5-second 25 percent speed boost; Ginger reworked to heal; Coal trinket penalty 20 to 10 percent |
| Feb 6, 2026 | 0.15.17 | Blot Jr. now affects Twisted Glisten; Boxten's Wind-Up adds to the Extraction Speed multiplier |
| Feb 11, 2026 | 0.15.19 | Twisted Pebble speed 25 to 24 |
| Mar 20, 2026 | 0.17.1 | Cocoa's BonBon lasts 10 seconds instead of 5; Eggson's Fixer Upper 10 to 20 percent and works on Treadmills; Whispering Flower reworked |
| Jun 12, 2026 | 0.22.1 | Finn's Reel In speed buff 33 to 35 percent; Fishing Rod reworked |
| Jul 24, 2026 | 0.24.1 | Tisha's Tidy Up gets a larger radius and clears Ichor puddles |
| Aug 14, 2026 | 0.26.1 | Brusha's Artistic Inspiration reworked into a minigame that buffs a Machine; Paint Bucket 5 to 10 percent; Twisted Brusha vision 100 to 85 |
| Sep 18, 2026 | 0.28.1 | Gigi's Surprise cooldown 80 to 60 seconds, rolls from any item tier |
| Oct 2, 2026 | 0.29.1 | Soulvester reworked (spends a heart to guard a Toon, then teleports in and stuns the attacker); Eclipse can briefly highlight all Twisteds on the floor during Blackouts; Ribecca gets a random buff after her ability |
Three patterns are worth knowing. First, Scraps' grapple has been buffed repeatedly (cooldown twice, pull time, then Machine attachment), while Astro, Brusha and Tisha all had abilities adjusted two or three times. Second, Twisted Pebble's 25 to 24 in 0.15.19 is the only Twisted speed nerf with exact numbers in the logs. Bobette's slight nerf in enero 2025 gave none and was reverted in 0.14.1. Third, Toon of the Week updates usually double as balance patches for that Toon: Finn's Reel In, Tisha's Tidy Up, Brusha's Artistic Inspiration and Gigi's Surprise were all changed in their own week.
