Evaluation
Grapple Force Rena launched on December 4, 2018 as a complete action platformer with 30 courses and a full story. Following launch, the developer shipped several post-launch updates: a bug-fix patch on December 11, 2018 (v1.0.7), a feature update on January 15, 2019 (v1.1 adding Boss Rush and Color Edit), another feature update on February 4, 2019 (v1.2 adding a Music Player and Time Attack mode), and a final polish update on March 7, 2019 (v1.2.2 adding animated boss health portraits and enemy rebalancing). The March 7, 2019 post mentioned "there's still more features to come," but no further developer communications or updates have appeared since that date — now more than seven years ago. No DLC has been announced or listed. The store description presents the game as a self-contained experience with no mention of ongoing content. Given the complete absence of developer activity since March 7, 2019 and no announced future content, the game is best understood as a finished product whose post-launch support concluded with that final update.
Evidence
Version 1.2 shipped with a Music Player (with collectible cassette tapes hidden throughout levels) and a Time Attack mode.
Version 1.1 shipped with major new post-game features: Boss Rush, Color Edit, boss health bars, and a timer display option.

About this game
In this unique action platformer, use Rena's magical 'grappling bracelets' to latch onto any surface - not confined to specific 'grapple points', you can swing freely through the game's varied environments. You'll come up against some fierce foes, but don't fret! By grabbing enemies and tossing them into each other, you can make quick work of any threat. Creatively use the environment and your enemies' powers against each other to turn the tables in your favor! Inspired by the mid-90's action games of legendary developer Treasure Co. Ltd, Grapple Force Rena combines the familiar aesthetics of the 16-bit era with its own unique brand of grappling gameplay.
You'll join Rena through 30 challenging courses as she saves her home village from the invasion of a mysterious automaton army, diving head-first into adventure and finding herself caught up in a grander conspiracy than she may have expected. Coming into contact with a cast of colorful characters, enemy and ally alike, she'll get closer and closer to unwrapping the mysteries of her own arcane artifact and those of others - and learn just what it takes to be a real hero!
