Evaluation
Gish is a physics-based platformer that originally launched on July 20, 2007. The store description references a "15 year anniversary update" which, based on the original release date, would place that update around July 20, 2022. This update added "The Lost Levels," an updated physics engine, widescreen support, and updated menus and levels — a meaningful content drop marking the game's 15th anniversary. There is no DLC listed, no unreleased content announced, no ongoing update cadence beyond this anniversary patch, and no developer statements suggesting further content is planned. The game appears to have launched as a complete product in 2007 and received one notable anniversary update in 2022, after which development appears to have concluded. No further communications or content releases have been identified.

About this game
Gish isn't your average hero. In fact, he's not your average anything...you see, Gish is a ball of tar. A Sunday stroll with his lady friend, Brea, goes awry when a shadowy figure emerges from an open manhole and pulls Brea below ground. Following Brea's calls for help, Gish suddenly finds himself in the subterranean sewers of Dross, a long forgotten city filled with twisting corridors, evil traps, and some of the most demented creatures imaginable.
With his gelatinous structure as his only means of defense, Gish must follow the echoing cries of his damsel in distress deep within the earth below. What freakish creatures dwell in this subterranean land? Who is Brea's captor? And just how far down does the rabbit hole go?
Life isn't easy when you're a 12 pound ball of tar...
