Evaluation
Never Give Up launched on August 13, 2019 as a complete, self-contained hardcore platformer. The store description presents a fully enumerated content package: 6 worlds, 30 level sets, 155 collectible coins, 30 secret objects, and 21 unlockable outfits — language consistent with a finished product rather than a live or expanding one. The developer's post-launch activity was limited to a localization and trading cards update on April 1, 2020, and then two near-identical announcements in late August 2021 promoting their next game, Cult of the Lamb, with Never Give Up featured as part of a celebratory sale. No new content was announced or shipped for Never Give Up beyond that April 2020 patch, and the studio has clearly moved on to developing and supporting Cult of the Lamb. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap, and no developer statements suggesting additional content is planned. The game launched as a complete package and has remained so.

About this game
Never Give Up is a masocore, tough-as-nails groundhog day platformer where levels respawn with more obstacles and rooms until you survive the set or Give Up.
"This Game Looks Too Hard"
If you're on the fence about whether this game is for you, here are some things you might not know about Never Give Up.
• Easy Mode - Play with checkpoints, we're not judging.
• Infinite Jump Mode - Yes, you read that correctly - go nuts, float above it all.
• Give Up Button - Skip to the next level, return when you've cooled off, or don't.
It's true Never Give Up was designed to be very difficult, but it was also designed to allow players some control over just how difficult. Everyone should have a chance to never give up.
