Evaluation
Canyon Capers launched on April 25, 2014 as a complete retro platformer with 50 levels. Its only DLC, Rio Fever, was released on June 16, 2014, and received an additional 10 levels via an update on July 5, 2014 — the last known developer communication. The store description makes no mention of planned future content, and all DLC is fully released. There have been no developer posts of any kind since July 5, 2014, a span of nearly 12 years. The game shipped as a finished product, received one DLC expansion that was also fully completed, and the developer has not communicated any plans for further content.
Evidence
Version 1.0.2 released, adding 10 extra levels to the Rio Fever DLC to celebrate the World Cup. This is the last developer communication on record.
Canyon Capers - Rio Fever is the only DLC, and it has been fully released.

About this game
Do you have fond memories of playing old style platform games, where you didn't have to learn a hundred button combos to play it successfully? Canyon Capers is just for you if that's the case.
Canyon Capers is a retro style arcade platform game for all ages, created by the authors of the 1992 original.
Starring DinoJr and his many friends as they venture through the canyons and caverns of ancient ruins in historical locations, to reach the ultimate goal, retrieval of the Golden Mollusk, source of all universal power and a mighty fine trophy at that.
With a finely tuned difficulty curve, from nice and easy, all the way to rock hard, just like old school platforming used to be. Canyon Capers will make you rely on your wits, your memory and at times, seat of the pants twitch gaming.
