Evaluation
Abduction Bit launched on November 14, 2016 and received active post-launch support in its early years. The developer shipped two free DLC level packs and a feature patch adding keyboard/controller remapping. The store description promises future free DLC level packs, and the May 30, 2017 news post explicitly stated "We will continue to working on new level packs!" — however, no further DLC or content updates for Abduction Bit followed after the September 16, 2018 feature patch. The developer's subsequent news posts (from October 2018 onward) are announcements of entirely separate games released under the SEEP label: Super BOO Quest, Katana Soul, Thunderflash, Adventure Bit, Swords & Bones, and Cosmos Bit. The studio has clearly shifted its focus to new titles rather than continuing content for Abduction Bit. The last meaningful update to the game itself was the feature patch on September 16, 2018, and there has been no Abduction Bit-specific communication since then. The promise of future level packs has gone unfulfilled for nearly eight years, and the pattern of developer activity strongly indicates that content development for this game concluded around late 2018.
Evidence
Second free DLC '16 Bit Hard Pack' released with 20 new levels. Developer stated they will continue working on new level packs.
Developer announces Cosmos Bit, their sixth separate game since Abduction Bit. No mention of any further Abduction Bit content.

About this game
Urban myths about Abduction Bit:
Abduction Bit was originally released in 1982 but considerated too realistic (or inconvenient) for publishing it like an arcade game and so to bring it to the masses, this game reveals the truth about alien abduction.
Fortunately the SEEP team have found a prototype suite of arcade versions and are working on it.
Story:
Two aliens must catch many humans for some experiments in four stages: construction, hotel, military base and laboratory.
To catch the humans the aliens use a sci-fi gun that paralyses the target for a number of seconds, during which time they destroy their memory so they cannot remember the incident. Once the humans are caught they are shaved and stripped of their clothes
to be teleported to the UFO.
Gameplay:
Abduction Bit is a retro style game inspired by 80s arcade games like Bubble Bobble and Mario Bros, where players take control of an alien that must abduct the humans.
To complete a stage the players must capture all the humans without touching them and must avoid dangerous traps.
The player can jump on the platform and shoot - easy gameplay with high-level difficulty.
Level Packs system:
In Abduction Bit the player can select various level packs through the main menu. We'll release more packs in the future like FREE DLC.

- Local CO-OP (2 players)
- Level packs with different play (and Free DLC).
- Customize the palette of your alien
