Evaluation

Nimbus launched on October 25, 2010 as a self-contained racing/puzzle game. The store description presents it as a complete product with a defined feature set: over 50 campaign levels, unlockable content, and a full gameplay loop. There is no DLC, no post-launch update history, no developer announcements about future content, and no roadmap of any kind. The game shipped as a finished package and has shown no signs of ongoing development activity. Anyone waiting for all content would have had it from day one.
