Evaluation
Spoiler Alert launched on June 30, 2014 as a complete comedy platformer with 100 levels across 4 worlds. Shortly after launch, on July 4, 2014, the developer posted about plans to add free new worlds and additional content to address feedback about the game's short length. However, no such updates ever materialized — the only post-launch content ever released was a standalone soundtrack DLC on February 6, 2020. There have been no developer communications since the early launch period, no additional worlds or game content were added, and no further updates are visible. The game has been in this state for well over a decade. Despite the 2014 promise of future content, the developer's actions — sustained silence and no delivered updates — indicate the game shipped as a finished product and received no substantive post-launch content beyond the soundtrack release.
Evidence
Spoiler Alert launched on Steam with Collector's Edition exclusive content including a level editor, original soundtrack, and Game Jam version.
Developer acknowledged the game's short length and promised future free content updates including new worlds, but gave no dates.

About this game
Spoiler Alert is a video game that tests your platforming skills… in reverse. It’s a comedy platformer that you play backwards.
When you pick this game up, it has already been beaten. The big bad boss is defeated, the coins are collected and the princess has been rescued. Why, oh why?
Unraveling this mystery takes you through the entire game, from the last level to the first. You must uncollect the coins, revive the enemies and avoid nasty time paradoxes. In other words, you must uncomplete the game by playing it backwards.
Everything in this game is so familiar, yet so different and new. You have played it a thousand times before, and at the same time, you have never tried anything like it.
