Evaluation
Proto Raider launched on August 28, 2015 as a self-contained single-screen auto-running puzzle platformer. The developer's entire post-launch communication history consists of one feature patch on August 24, 2016 — a monochrome display option — with no news of any kind after that date. There are no DLC listings, no roadmaps, no announced future content, and no developer statements about ongoing development. The store description describes a complete game with no indication of planned expansions or updates. With no post-launch content cadence and the last developer communication on August 24, 2016, this game was effectively shipped as a finished product and has seen no meaningful development activity in nearly a decade.
Evidence

About this game
Proto Raider is a single screen auto-running puzzle platformer covered in ASCII beauty.
There's so much to do when exploring this colorful and imaginative world. Grab your scuba gear and go for a dive, chill out and ride some waterfalls, or maybe go sailing! Be careful though, as with all wondrous actions come with consequences. You just might drown, get poisoned, burnt to ashes, or turn into stone!
In order to complete quests and collect treasures, you'll need agility, weapons, and special items that give you various superpowers. Most of all, you'll need courage my friend. Fearsome monsters and bosses lurk in this world... and YOU will have to defeat them, grab the key, and go!
