Evaluation
Trimps is a free-to-play idle/incremental game that has been in continuous development since 2015, arriving on Steam on May 2, 2022. It is developed and published by a single developer (Greensatellite), and the store description explicitly states the game "still receives multiple updates per year that add new content" and highlights "nearly 7 years of updates so far."
Since arriving on Steam, the game has received four notable patches: Patch 5.7.2 (June 9, 2022), Patch 5.8.0 (August 2, 2022), Patch 5.9.0 (February 10, 2023), and Patch 5.10.0 (February 9, 2025). The first three were spaced roughly 6 months apart; the gap between 5.9.0 and 5.10.0 was approximately two years. This establishes a variable cadence — typically 6 months to 2 years between major content releases. Each patch has added substantial new systems, content zones, challenges, achievements, and quality-of-life improvements.
The most recent major update was Patch 5.10.0 on February 9, 2025, which added a large-scale new Mega-Spire structure at Z300, a new Heirloom tier, new pet abilities, new Mutators, and expanded story content. As of today, October 1, 2026, approximately 20 months have passed since that update. Given the developer's established cadence of up to 2 years between major releases, this is within the outer edge of the historical pattern. Additionally, the prior gap to the update before that was also about 2 years — so an extended quiet period is not unusual for this developer.
No developer statement of completion or development conclusion has been made. The developer has maintained this game for over a decade with no sign of stopping, and the store page continues to describe it as an actively updated product.
Evidence
Patch 5.10.0 shipped on February 9, 2025, adding a 1000-cell Mega-Spire at Z300, new Heirloom tier, new Scruffy abilities, new Mutators, and expanded story content — the most recent major content release.
Patch 5.9.0 shipped on February 10, 2023 with new Challenges, new Mutator ring, new Scruffy bonuses, and extensive content additions across both Universes.

About this game
Trimps is a text-based idle/incremental game filled with content to discover and explore. Wake up on a hostile planet with no memory, trap your first Trimp, and send it to battle. Breed your Trimps, set them to work, house them, gear them up with the best equipment, and keep sending them to battle!
Trimps has been around as a web game since 2015, and still receives multiple updates per year that add new content. The game has been developed since the beginning by one person, but with the help of an active and healthy community on Reddit and Discord that's never had any shortage of suggestions and ideas to implement.
Taking so many suggestions and working so closely with the community for so many years has led to a game with tons of quality of life features, interesting balance, and unique ideas. Trimps is also free to play and only a 300MB download... give it a try!
- Nearly 7 years of updates so far
- Over 50 different Challenges that tweak the Universe in different ways
- Nearly 400 achievements that make you stronger
- Hundreds of perks, talents, and upgrades
- Trimploads of automation, with detailed levels of customization. Trimps is all about unlocking new stuff and automating old stuff.
- Brand new tutorial! After researching your first point of Science, ADVISOR will help guide you along your first adventure to the mysterious Portal.
- Two different Universes to explore, mini games, a "pet" to level up, and so much more
- Trimps has always had a web version without a cash shop, and has never been balanced around expecting anyone to buy premium currency (Bones). You will earn more than enough Bones through normal play to purchase all upgrades way before running out of game content, there are even some talents mid-game that increase Bone drops. You can purchase Bones in this version to support development, but think of it as a pay-what-you-want system for the game rather than something you need to buy to enjoy Trimps.
