  • 1.22 - 14 January 2024

    Happy Birthday MaCaw! Captain MaCaw is 5 this week! Updated the store art and patched the main game. Re done the front end and instructions screen to look better and align with the new store art. Various spelling errors in chat text resolved. Fixed some anti-aliased text that should not have been anti-aliased. Made jumping up the trees in the woods a little more forgiving. Made the "Butterfly tree" easier to land on and harder to fall off. Varied the animation speed of the butterflies. Made yellow objects easier to see if dropped against the yellow tree. Made an optional item easier to find.

  • Version 1.11 released - 11 January 2020

    1.11 released fixing the following bugs. Game breaking bug where if you saved at 1 certain point in the game and quit, it did not save the player status and prevented progress. Hidden achievement that should trigger after the end sequence played moved to the start of the end sequence to fix a rare bug where it would not trigger. Also makes sure the player gets the achievement if they quit during the end sequence. Moved the game completion achievement to the start of the end sequence for the same reason.

  • Version 1.002 - 19 January 2019

    Very small update to address a bug that was reported. It allowed you to bypass a cartain puzzle if you were playing on a joypad. It did not halt progress, quite the opposite actually. It allowed quicker progression. Fixed in this build.

  • Version 1.001 - 19 January 2019

    Small update to solve a bug where if you complete a series of events in a certain order, it can cause a bug where you can not trigger the end sequence. Thanks very much for reporting issues directly to me and not slamming the game in the reviews. Means a lot to a tiny independent publisher where every review counts, truly! I really appreciate the support and being given the chance to resolve issues.

He soon discovers that is not as easy as he had hoped and begins to get a strange feeling that something is not quite right...... Thanks to everyone that have supported us on our first release! The countless nights testing and feedback! It's been a crazy journey one of which I'm proud of the result. It's very much a passion project with the purpose of scratching that retro itch.

Short description

A retro platform adventure in the style of the ZX Spectrum.........starring a pirate! ARRRR!

About this game

Captain Macaw is an old school platform adventure in the style of the ZX Spectrum classics. The graphical style closely resembles but not 100% emulate the ZX spectrum resolution and palette. Captain MaCaw was returning from a voyage when treacherous weather engulfed his ship. Scrambling for the life boat, he managed to escape just as the Jolly Roger vanished into the abyss. Washed aboard a lost island with his life boat in ruin, Captain MaCaw must platform, collect and puzzle his way round this unfamiliar island. The creatures on the island are not all out to kill you, but most are so take a helping hand when it is offered and you may make it off this accursed island yet!

Steam marketplace comparison data

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: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.99
  • Highest observed: $2.99

Captain MaCaw's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 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 $2.99, the highest is $2.99, and the first visible tracked price is $2.99. 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: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Captain MaCaw's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

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 $2.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99. The latest run records $2.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.99
  • Current list price: $2.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Captain MaCaw at $2.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. 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.
