Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake
Released Jul 2014
Warning: This game is crammed full of monsters, cake, amazing powers, puzzly bits, epic adventure, witty repartee, secret paths, unlockable characters, silly hats and a wiener dog. Use caution if you are allergic to fun or overly sensitive to cake-related pathos.

Evaluation
Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake launched on July 1, 2014 as a complete, self-contained adventure game. After launch, SleepNinja Games shipped two updates: Update 1.1 on August 14, 2014 added music, bug fixes, and localization support, and Update 1.2 on November 26, 2014 added a holiday-themed quest featuring a new character (Codger the Elf), new levels, and a new unlockable costume. That November 2014 update is the last known developer communication or content release for the game. No further updates, announcements, or DLC have been posted since then. The store description presents the game as a complete package with no mention of future content. The game launched as a finished product and received a small burst of post-launch polish and bonus content in its first few months — all of which has long since shipped.
Evidence
Update 1.2 shipped a holiday-themed quest with new levels, a new NPC, and a new unlockable costume — the last known content release for the game.

About this game
As so many of these things do, it all begins on a magical island. In this case, Gogapoe Island, a place populated by both humans and monsters. What starts out as a mission to get back Niko's birthday cake becomes a quest for the fate of Gogapoe itself. But, ya know, cake is still super important, too!
Oodles of friendly monsters will join Niko's quest and use their kooky powers to help him explore the island, solve puzzles, demolish obstacles, and just generally humiliate enemies. Hordes of evil monsters will cause mayhem and generally be jerkfaces, but that's nothing you can't fix with headbutts, frost breath, stink clouds and rainbow barf.
Save the day and fulfill your monstrous cakelust all at once in MONSTERS ATE MY BIRTHDAY CAKE!
