  • Bad Caterpillar v2.0 - 19 April 2021

    We just released a large update to Bad Caterpillar to add some new cool features you've been asking for and to clean up a few items we felt needed improvement. Full list below...

Updated to newer version of MonoGame framework.

  • Price Increase to $1.99 - 10 February 2017

    I want to first of all thank everyone who has bought the game at the original $1 price point or during one of the sales. It is much appreciated. I think most of you will realize the great value Bad Caterpillar is at that point. It is my most sold game (I have three other Steam releases as well). At the same time, it is also my least profitable game. That later point (and the fact that almost everyone says "great value" or "you should be selling this for more") has lead me to readjust the price to $1.99. I think that's more in line with what I should have been selling this game at to start with and also makes sales look more effective (a 30% off sale at $1 is only 30 cents and isn't doing a lot to convince more people to buy the game). I tried $1, I think it was a great value for everyone that got it at that point, but I'm running a business as well and I've been thinking for some time t…

  • CRT Mode in latest update - 29 December 2016

I think you guys and gals will enjoy it. And if there are other things you'd like to see us add, please let us know in the comments! - Kris

Short description

Bad Caterpillars and their swarms of insect hordes are invading. Get to your ship, man the lasers, and save the galaxy from caterpillars, scorpions, spiders, and a slew of other ill-tempered giant killer insects.

About this game

Partake in a 2D retro action the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the collapse of the arcades decades ago. Experience intense non-stop action as you fight off space insect hordes, collect weapons and power-ups, and battle for high score bragging rights against the entire world. And you know, save mankind from extinction at the hands of caterpillars, scorpions, spiders, and a slew of other ill-tempered giant killer insects. "Bad Caterpillar is the game you deserve, but also the one you need." - Commissioner Gordman

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.89
  • Highest observed: $0.89

Bad Caterpillar's USD price history spans from Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $0.89, the highest is $0.89, and the first visible tracked price is $0.89. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -55%
  • Latest sale window: Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -55%, with a lowest recorded final price of $0.89 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Oct 5, 2026 and ends Oct 5, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.89, from Oct 5, 2026 through Oct 5, 2026. The latest run records $0.89 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $1.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $0.89
  • Current list price: $1.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Bad Caterpillar at $0.89 in USD, with a listed base price of $1.99 and a -55% markdown. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
