Evaluation
Comet 64 launched on February 5, 2021 as a complete programming puzzle game with 50+ puzzles, leaderboards, and bonus content. In the weeks following launch, the developer shipped a steady stream of bug-fix and quality-of-life patches (v1.06a through v1.08b), the last of which was posted on March 21, 2021. There have been no developer communications of any kind since that date, no DLC was ever listed, no roadmap or future content was announced, and the store description does not reference any planned additions. The game appears to have launched as a finished product and received only post-launch polish updates before the developer went quiet. With over five years of silence and no outstanding commitments, the game is complete.
Evidence
Patch v1.08b released — the last recorded developer communication, adding a save-on-exit feature and a UI toggle. No posts have appeared since this date.
Comet 64 officially released on February 5, 2021 as a finished product with its full puzzle set.

About this game
1984, february.
outside, it's dark. -and raining.
it might have started five minutes or five days ago.
hard to tell.
I've been coding.
if I stare at the screen long enough
answers come to me.
that's my super power.
outside, the city is sleeping.
but the caret is blinking at me.
and this new disk I got,
it's brutal.
