Evaluation

Potatoman Seeks the Troof launched on Steam on December 3, 2014. Shortly after launch, the developer posted a survey on December 8, 2014 expressing intent to add new content such as trading cards and achievements. That content arrived on May 22, 2015 in the form of a substantial update adding trading cards, full controller support, and a speedrun timer — fulfilling the post-launch promise. No further updates specific to Potatoman have been posted since May 22, 2015. The one DLC listed, the Potatoman OST & Supporter Pack, was released at launch on December 3, 2014. All subsequent developer news posts are announcements of entirely separate Pixeljam games (Last Horizon, Snowball, Cheap Golf, Nova Drift, and Dino Run 2) — not updates to Potatoman itself. The game launched as a compact, self-contained platformer, received its promised post-launch additions, and has been content-complete since May 2015.
