Evaluation
Brain Meltdown - Into Despair entered Steam Early Access on December 1, 2020. The developer released two patches in May 2021: a bug fix on May 11, 2021 (Patch 0.1.0) and a feature update on May 14, 2021 (Patch 0.1.1) that adjusted difficulty settings and promised a Super Hard difficulty mode "next week." That May 14, 2021 post is the last known communication from the developer. No further patches, news posts, or updates have been published since that date. The game remains in Early Access with no announced roadmap, no stated 1.0 release target, and no explanation for the extended silence. The promised Super Hard mode may or may not have shipped — but even if it did, development appears to have stopped entirely well before any 1.0 graduation.
Evidence
Patch 0.1.1 adjusted difficulty levels and announced a Super Hard mode update coming the following week. This is the last known developer communication.
First patch (0.1.0) released, thanking players. Indicates early post-launch activity.

About this game
Brain Meltdown - Into Despair is a platformer game with a unique concept, where you need to control two characters by yourself. (This is not a co-op game!)
Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot. – Charles Chaplin
To clear the basic difficulty level of Brain Meltdown - Into Despair, you may play 2~4 hours and try 300~500 times. It is no wonder you die several times in this game. So, do not despair in any circumstance. At first, you would feel difficult to just move two characters at the same time but after hundreds of times of despair, you will find two characters happily hopping over our beautiful map!
Into Despair is also a fun game to watch others streaming their gameplay! In our game, there are several serious obstacles that may hold back players, but in the eyes of viewers, those obstacles look not that serious...well, they look so easy peasy lemon squeezy! Viewers might scream, "What an idiot! Why die there!"
Never be afraid of trying this game! Even my mother cleared all stages after hundreds of times of trial.
Give this game as a gift to your friends or favorite streamers!
