Evaluation
Tower Ball launched out of early access on June 15, 2021 and has received a continuous stream of updates from WaffleStack Studio ever since. The history shows a sustained pattern of new content additions: Tournament Mode arrived in March 2022, Tier 3 with a new boss and 10 new levels in November 2022, additional tiers and gem upgrades in August 2024, new tiers, upgrades, and a reworked Depletion Mode in May 2025, and a new unnamed game mode in March 2025. The most recent post, dated October 1, 2025, was a minor synchronization patch with mobile. Across the timeline, the developer has returned with meaningful content additions multiple times per year. No statement indicates that development has concluded, and no specific future content has been formally announced. The sustained history of feature updates and new content — most recently in May and October 2025 — indicates the game continues to be actively developed and expanded. Today's date is October 1, 2026, exactly one year since the last developer post. This is longer than the typical gap between updates but not dramatically beyond the longest observed gap in the history, so the pattern does not yet clearly suggest development has ended. The developer has made no statement about conclusion of development.
Evidence
