Evaluation

Just Get Through launched on January 30, 2015 and received a steady run of updates throughout its first year. The developer, Jonathan Mannshoven of Retrific, shipped several feature updates in 2015 — Update 1.1.1 through 1.2.2 — adding game modes, daily runs, leaderboards, sandbox content, and various polish. In the Update 1.2.1 post from July 13, 2015, the developer explicitly stated: "This was the last big update for some time... Just Get Through is pretty much complete and I want to focus on new projects." Update 1.2.2 in August 2015 similarly noted the game was "pretty much complete." The final notable update, 1.3 (the Winter Update), shipped on December 22, 2015, adding an explosion run mode and leaderboard improvements. The developer acknowledged this update was a change of heart ("I said JGT won't get any big updates anymore, but I changed my mind") and framed it as a Christmas present. No updates of any kind followed after December 2015. By August 2016, the developer had moved on to a new game (Beeftacular), and by June 2020, another new game (Colt Canyon). Both announcements were made via the Just Get Through news feed, with no mention of returning to update the original game. No DLC has ever been listed, and the store description contains no language suggesting future content. The game launched as a complete product and its content development concluded with the December 2015 update.
Evidence
Update 1.3 shipped as an unplanned Christmas bonus update, described as the last big sale JGT would have 'for some time at least.' No further updates followed after this date.
