Evaluation
The Last Tinker: City of Colors launched on May 12, 2014 as a self-contained single-player action-adventure game. The developer shipped a bug-fix patch in June 2014 shortly after launch, and a controller compatibility patch on February 15, 2018. In that 2018 patch note, Mimimi Games explicitly mentioned that the team had moved on to their next project (codenamed "Kartoffel") — confirming that The Last Tinker was no longer an active development priority. No DLC, expansions, or additional content were ever released or announced. No further developer communications have appeared since February 15, 2018. The game launched as a complete, finished product and has remained so. Anyone interested in The Last Tinker can consider it a fully complete experience with no content additions expected.
Evidence
Controller support patch released; developers note the team has moved on to their next project ('Kartoffel'), signaling The Last Tinker is no longer an active development focus.
Early post-launch bug fix patch addressing save corruption, menu freeze, and audio issues — routine maintenance shortly after release.

About this game
The Last Tinker is a vivid journey through Colortown, a world built upon creativity, emotion and collaboration. It's Mimimi's take on all-time classics like "Jack and Daxter" or "Banjo-Kazooie", while breaking the mold by not having a jump button.
A dark force named The Bleakness has emerged and seeks to tear the colors apart, draining all joy and life from the world.
Koru, a young boy from the slums of Colortown, takes action, though. He embarks on an epic adventure to face the Bleakness and to restore joy and color to his home.
It's a real throwback to the 90's. You can play the game with your kids or, even better, rediscover the kid in yourself, lean back and enjoy this colorful ride.
