Evaluation
Cube Racer launched on October 30, 2017 and received a couple of feature updates in early 2018, culminating in a significant free-to-play transition update on July 11, 2018 that added a singleplayer campaign, new maps, a new game mode, and dozens of new obstacles. That appears to be the last substantive content update the game received.
On November 9, 2020, the developer announced that development had shifted to a sequel, Cube Racer 2, described as "the one and only logical result of everything that Cube Racer has been," with an early 2021 target. This announcement effectively signals that the original Cube Racer is a completed product — developer attention has moved on to a successor. No further posts or updates have been made to Cube Racer since that announcement, and no new content for the original game has been announced or shipped.
The sole DLC — a Founders Early Support Upgrade cosmetic/supporter pack — was released on October 15, 2018 and is the only DLC listed, with no unreleased items. The game shipped as a finished product with its content cycle ending around mid-2018.
Evidence
Developer announced Cube Racer 2 as the successor to Cube Racer 1, framing it as the next chapter and inviting players to alpha test the new game. This signals development focus has moved away from the original game.
Cube Racer went free-to-play with a major content update adding 48 new obstacles, singleplayer campaign, new maps, new game mode, skins, and more. This appears to be the last major content update for the game.

About this game
Cube Racer is a round based multiplayer racing game with cubes. Every round, all players race against each other to the finish line. Before every round, the players get to build one or more obstacles on the map. In the next round, all players have to pass all the obstacles, which have been built yet.
So basically, the game is designed to be a fun multiplayer game. You race against your friends or other players, to finish as fast as possible and score as much points as possible. But instead of giving the winning player an advantage for the following rounds, like it is done in many other games, all players have the same conditions every round, as all players are racing on the same map, with the same obstacles.
Besides of the racing, all players extend the map continuously, as every player can build obstacles, boosters or potential deadly objects on the end of each round. This way, the map gets more difficult or easier, but surely more interesting. It's totally up to you!
To win in the end, you must collect the most points by scoring as good as possible in every round, outsmarting your opponents with your obstacles and your racing skill.
Also, the game comes with a dedicated server, which allows you to set up your own local or online Cube Racer Server. It's a perfect opportunity to play some rounds with your friends, or to have some fun time on a hypothetically LAN-party ;)
In Singleplayer, you can challenge yourself to race on different maps with various predefined obstacles to slam the fastest times you are capable of.
By playing games either in singleplayer or multiplayer mode, you earn credits for your performance. With these credits, you can unlock new types of obstacles time by time. You can also then use the credits to upgrade the obstacles you own, to make them maybe bigger, maybe stronger and develop your personal cube-racing strategy.
At the beginning of a game, every player decides, which obstacles to take along into the game, which makes every online-game individual and exciting.
The game also includes a map editor where you can live your creativity and make your own maps for Cube Racer. You then have the possibility, to either just play your custom maps on your own server, or to upload them to the Steam-Workshop and share your creations with the whole community.
Accordingly, you can also browse through other players map creations to download and play your favorite ones.
