An Arcade Full of Cats

An Arcade Full of Cats launched as a free-to-play game on November 16, 2023, alongside the paid TimeWarp Trouble DLC. The developer quickly established a pattern of meaningful post-launch additions: a Time Attack mode shipped on December 14, 2023; a new 3000 BC stage was added to the DLC on January 4, 2024; and on February 6, 2025, an even larger stage set in an alternate 2025 launched — described by the developer as the biggest level in the game so far, complete with a brand-new ending. This gives three major content drops across roughly 14 months (November 2023 to February 2025), establishing a cadence of roughly one major addition every 6–12 months. As of today, October 1, 2026, it has been approximately 20 months since the last major content release on February 6, 2025. This exceeds the established 6–12 month cadence window. However, the context provided does not include any developer communications after February 2025 beyond what was present in the previous evaluation (which referenced a November 2025 Steam Awards nomination post). That post, cited in the prior evaluation, reflected continued engagement and pride in the project as recently as November 2025 — only 11 months ago — without indicating development had concluded. The developer has never stated the game is complete or that no further content is planned. Their track record shows they have consistently surprised players with larger-than-expected updates (the February 2025 stage was originally planned as a small anniversary update but grew substantially). With the last confirmed developer communication in November 2025 and no statement of completion, the game remains in an active post-launch pattern, even if we are now beyond the typical release window for a new major update.
