Evaluation

Super Space Pug launched on June 4, 2016 as a classic arcade shoot-'em-up. In the weeks following launch, the developer (Dex) posted several feature updates addressing player feedback — including collision improvements, unlockable characters, and control options. On January 4, 2017, Dex announced a major version 2.0 overhaul, describing a near-complete rewrite of the game with new controls, characters, weapons, and levels, expected to ship that same weekend. That post represents the last development-related communication for the game. An April 2017 post was a promotional announcement for an entirely separate project (Sol Ni Koro, a 3D RPG), indicating the developer had moved on to other work. There have been no further updates, announcements, or developer communications about Super Space Pug since January 2017. The game has no unreleased DLC, no announced future content, and the developer's attention clearly shifted to other projects. The game appears to have shipped its final content with the version 2.0 update in early January 2017.
