Evaluation
Splasher launched on February 7, 2017 as a complete 2D platformer. The developer shipped a handful of patches in the months following launch addressing bugs, performance, and quality-of-life improvements. The final patch arrived on January 31, 2018, which also included a candid message from the team: they acknowledged the game had not sold as well as hoped, that console ports had consumed significant resources, and that the team had decided to move on. Individual members had dispersed to other projects, with the studio founder beginning work on a new prototype. This was a clear and explicit statement that active development on Splasher was concluding. The only DLC ever released was the official soundtrack, which shipped on launch day. No additional content was ever announced or released. Subsequent posts on the Splasher Steam page in June 2021 confirmed the team had fully moved on, announcing their next game, Tinykin. Splasher is a finished product with no outstanding content commitments.

Splasher is the latest project from Romain Claude, former Game Designer and Level Designer at Ubisoft (Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends). He gathered a small, talented team, including Richard Vatinel a.k.a Gromy, Art Director, and Aymeric Schwartz, composer and sound designer (Absolver, Rayman Origins or Valiant Hearts), to create Splasher. The game was also developed in partnership with famous speedrunners.
