Evaluation
Rise & Shine launched on January 13, 2017 as a self-contained action platformer. The developer shipped one balance and settings patch on March 6, 2017, and added a Linux version on May 19, 2017. After that, there have been no further posts, no DLC announcements, no roadmap, and no unreleased content listed on the store. The store description describes a complete, finished game with no mention of future updates or additional content. There is no DLC listed at all. The game appears to have launched as a complete, finished product — a single-purchase experience with a defined beginning and end. The post-launch activity consisted entirely of platform support and maintenance work, not content expansions. Developer communication ceased after May 2017, and no outstanding promises remain unfulfilled.
Evidence

About this game
Shoot Fast, Think Faster
Rise & Shine is a true "think and gun" that combines elements of arcade shooters, bullet hells, and puzzle platformers to create a new blend of strategy and viscera. Switch between Shine's add-ons to solve puzzles that redefine what bullets can do. Guide projectiles through intricate mazes, electrify damaged equipment to discover new pathways, and juggle 8-bit fruit because why not?
Get Ready to Respawn
Don't let the cute character models fool you, saving Gamearth won't be easy. Prepare to dash flurries of missiles and avoid unseen traps as you fight to prevent its destruction. It's going to take all you've got to stay alive in the face of lethal robot armadas, enormous bosses, giant death wheels, and (of course) brainthirsty zombies. You're not gettin' through this in one piece, kiddo.
Next Level Detail
Enter a world where every level is a single, continuous work of art. Each level is composed of hand drawn illustrations with multiple parallax scroll layers so every forward step is new; no tiling or repeated elements. This meticulous attention to detail allows each frame to flow seamlessly from one to the next, a quality you'll wish you had on your 20th respawn.
