Evaluation

Distant Space is a self-contained arcade shooter that launched on December 20, 2016 with 26 levels, boss fights, and a complete gameplay loop. The developer (PixelMouse) released two feature patches in 2017 — a gameplay and interface overhaul in May 2017, and a broader update on November 1, 2017 that touched graphics, sound, controls, levels, and achievements. Since that November 2017 update, the only activity from the developer has been occasional sales and discount posts, with no new features, content, or announcements. There is no DLC, no roadmap, no season pass, and no indication of planned future content. The store description describes a fixed, finite product. The game launched as a complete arcade experience and received polish updates in its first year; development has been quiet since November 1, 2017.
