Evaluation

Run Jump Fail launched on May 2, 2018 as a 3D obstacle course platformer. The store description mentions "50+ obstacle courses, and more on the way," which at the time of writing suggested additional levels were planned. However, there are no developer news posts, DLC listings, roadmaps, or any other official communications indicating that additional content was ever formally announced or delivered after launch. There is no record of post-launch updates, expansions, or developer activity of any kind. Given that the game launched over eight years ago with no evidence of any post-launch content cycle or developer communication since release, the "more on the way" line in the store description appears to be promotional copy that was never followed up on in any documented way. The game is best understood as a complete, self-contained product as shipped.

Evidence

Store description lists '50+ obstacle courses, and more on the way,' suggesting content additions were at one point intended post-launch.

About this game

Run Jump Fail puts you in control of the hapless HappyMan, and tasks you with guiding him through a whole load of treacherous obstacle courses. You'll fail a lot along the way, but watching HappyMan collapse and flail when he's just run into a wall, or tripped on a ledge, or been hit by a big red spinning thing is a lot of fun.

Seriously, failing is 90% of the fun. So fail away.

The game is a 3D platformer that's dead simple to pick up and play in short bursts, so if you need a break from grinding away at the latest 50 hour epic RPG and fancy a spot of fun filled action, look no further.
