Evaluation
BasketBelle is a self-contained indie platformer that launched on December 9, 2014. The store description outlines a complete 8-chapter game with a fixed structure, a bundled soundtrack EP, a sketchbook PDF, a browser version, and a making-of featurette — all included in the install folder at launch. There is no DLC, no post-launch content roadmap, no season pass, and no developer communications indicating any plans for additional content. The game was clearly shipped as a finished, standalone product with bonus materials already included. No updates of any kind have been issued since launch, which is consistent with a game designed and sold as a complete package from day one.
Evidence

About this game
BasketBelle is an experimental 2D basketball-based platformer. Each Chapter of the game uses the mechanics and idea of basketball in a different way. At one point you might be dribbling inside the intestines of a purple blob creature. At others, you're likely to be dunking above the clouds in front of the Parisian moon.
A dynamic soundtrack and unique cardboard visuals help tell the story of a sister who must be saved through the power of basketball.

A dynamic soundtrack and unique cardboard visuals help tell the story of a sister who must be saved through the power of basketball.
Key Features
- Dunk, dribble, and crossover through 8 Chapters spanning throughout the impromptu courts of Paris
- Each Chapter takes the mechanics of basketball and applies them in different ways. Some chapters are more action, some are more puzzle. And then there are the strange chapters.
- Music is tied directly to the gameplay, though it's all passively controlled. For example, every time you dribble, you hear a bass hit. Shoot the ball, and the percussion stops.
- Visuals in the game are a unique mix of cardboard and color, every scene popping off the screen.
Bonus Content
Included with the game! :D- The BasketBelle EP: Full Soundtrack + Bonus Tracks (MP3) + Cover Art
- BasketBelle sketchbook: Full-color PDF including sketches and liner notes
- Browser version of BasketBelle (playable on Mac and Linux as well, but not through the Steam launcher)
- Access to Making Of Featurette! (11 min hosted video)
