Awesome retro game that is soooo addictive just to try and get as far as you can on the high score board . Love it , it reminds me of the classic arcade game . If this was released on the switch i would buy it on there as well . Great work
Brilliant game, fun, great control. Definitely a well done millipede clone, worlds better then the more recently released recharged series. Highly, highly recommended. I'd love to see more classic takes from the author, bravo!
If you want some old school arcade action with some bad ass music to blast to then this game is made for you!
This takes me back to the 80's and spending long hours in the arcades!
Well done!
I appreciate the fact that this game exists. I’ve been wanting a more modern version of games to play on my arcade cabinet, and this is amazing. No 4:3 or 5:4 resolution support for my old-timey cabinet monitor, but I wasn’t expecting it.
I also very much appreciate the fact that controller action buttons still work to fire bombs in mouse mode, because I didn’t think to wire up mouse buttons for my trackball, and now I don’t need to disassemble and cut into my panel again.
Looking forward to many hours of blasting bug guts in 2020.
I'm a Baby Boomer so I enjoy the games I first got for my kids when I was home and able to play with them. When I went back to work I lost touch with gaming. 20 years later my grand kids & kids are playing games and using controllers to advanced for me. I will learn but in the meantime, Bad Caterpillar is better than the original. Having an ergonomic roller ball mouse but I would buy one just for the game. Most retro games are a poor imitation with terrible graphics. It warms my heart to see someone still appreciates the old games. Thank you!
I enjoyed playing this but cannot recommend. It will not stop running, even after exiting out of it. Not even task manager could stop it for me. I wound up having to do a full restart, disappointing.
Being some one who loves 8 - bit / sega style graphics I cannot recommend this game enough! Its a wonderful take on classic space invader style gaming and truly one of my favorites.
My only complaint with this game is that when i shut it down steam continues to say that its running and it can often interfere with me opening other programs. Thus I am left having to use my computer's task manager to close out the program again once its already been closed. A small annoyance for an otherwise flawless game. 10/10
It has a lot of promise and was actually fun for the first 20 minutes. If you'll forgive the obvious pun it's way too BUGGY.
When I exit the game it doesn't actually exit, and even though the window closes I can still hear the game running in the background. Something is messed up here... to even write a review I had to launch the game, kill it with Task Manager or it wouldn't recognize my play time so I could even review... BIZARRE
To play with maximum efficiency, you need to use Mouse control, but unfortunately the mouse "skips" around randomly which can suddenly put your ship directly on an enemy, killing you.
I have a feeling that even if the bugs were not present, I probably wouldn't last more than an hour before uninstalling. The RNG variance is crazy where you can get 10 powerups falling in a huge clump, and other times no powerups for the whole level. One of those amateur developer mistakes.
If you can get it for 75% off you could try it, but it isn't the kind of game that is going to give you much. I really think you should avoid it as it's just a bit too amateur and too buggy.
(Played on a newer machine with updated Windows 10 fresh install, all drivers updated, etc. I don't have these problems with any other game)
EDIT: I'm going back to idle for cards but my TOTAL PLAYTIME before I got annoyed with it was 28 minutes.
This is a re-doing of the original arcade game, Caterpillar. Easy to learn, and very addictive. If you want game to satisfy those 'need to shoot something for a while' urges, this will do nicely.
Souped-up successor/homage to the old Centipede and Millipede arcade games. I've always found most such re-makes to miss the mark, and lose the essence of what made the original game addictive. This one works, though. I actually prefer this to the originals. It just feels right. The added weapon switching makes the gameplay more interesting (I don't think it would work for games like Galaxian or Galaga, though). This is a 'proper' arcade game. No saves, nor any chance of extra lives. Which is great. The high score is all, and the online high score table gives you something to aim at.
I play it with a wired 360 gamepad, and it's fine.
If your old enough to remember tape loading Centipede on the Atari or playing it on the Atari 2600. You will know the basics here. Its faster, flasher and doesn't cost the earth. I persoanlly wish a carbon copy of the old verson was included with the same speed as this current verson of Centipede.
Great Centipede Clone. Although upon exiting the game, I have fornd that the BadCatepillar.exe sometimes stays hooked, and keeps running in Windows 10 64bit. Get that fixed with an update an the game will be what it should. Task Manager is not what you should have to use in order for the executable to unhook upon quitting.
Overall a great retro game. I would love to see "Joust" become one of the great returns.
Since the long-awaited update to fix the executable hang. I currently haven't any issues at all with the game closing out. Thank you for this fix. The game is awesome.
It's a revamped Centipede for all intents and purposes. But from my experience one of the best clones in existence.
Essentially, it's what Centipede should've turned into back in the mid 90's, but never did. Because what Atari was, turned into, then bought by differing companies that had no idea on how to create good games did.
Adding Power-ups, slightly differing characters, and new enemies. For a dollar, sadly, this is better and more faithful than most of what Atari (in name only) has tried to remake in the past 20+ years... outside of your simple classic anthology/collection type re-releases, of course.
All I gotta do now is replace my mouse with a trackball, and then this may become indistinguishable from the real thing.
Awesome for short bursts of play and classic arcade style fun.
Came for the insects.
Stayed for the rockin' soundtrack.
Jokes aside: It's centipede with powerups!! Do you want to play centipede with powerups? Then buy this.
Bad Caterpillar is a silky smooth fast paced spiritual successor to Ataris 1980s classic Centipede.
With vibrant coulors, easy to learn controls and the addition of many power ups to add to your arsenal of insect extermination.
This game dose have a major bug problme but in the right places :P
Its great fun for 79p.
Hell I would even call it better then centipede.
A quiet success, but very stout for its purposes.
This game looks like a simple Centipede clone, but don't be fooled -- this is functionally Centipede III, or maybe more accurately Centipede IV, because it adds enough to account for two sequels--which, admittedly, could have come out decades ago, but they didn't. Also I guess it's more accurately described as a Millipede variant, since it includes many if not all of the Millipede enemies and more.
First off, this game adapts the Centipede controls very fluidly to desktop mouse or trackball movement, which has always been a bit of a back-port to Centipede which expected the large arcade trackball. BUT. That's not the important part.
What the devs have done here is add some features to Centipede that were developed for later arcade games but never before adapted to this particular vibe. To wit:
It borrows the falling capsules bit from Arkanoid, which was also ripped off by lots of Space Invaders variants over the years but it never landed on Centipede before to my knowledge. Other elements are added from latter-day shoot-em-up games, like selectable characters with different attributes, and bombs--although, in this game, you actually have to HIT something with the bomb in order for it to explode.
All in all, among the straight arcaders on Steam that genuinely behave EXACTLY like oldschool cabinet arcade games, this is one of the best I've played. A refreshing surprise that I picked up just because of its low price, but I feel like I'd have pumped more than four quarters into this machine so I got my money's worth pretty well.
It's good old Centipede with autofire and powerups to make things more interesting. To balance things out, bugs take more hits to destroy (you still die in one hit, of course), and you can't get any extra lives besides the 3 you start out with. Additionally, each level has a time limit, after which everything goes haywire, the caterpillar speeds up and spiders spawn all over the place, making it very difficult to survive. Overall, easier than the original, though later levels are pretty intense, and there's always the challenge of getting a high place on the leaderboard.
Easy to pick up & slick smooth gameplay with no cons. Centipede on steroids, Bad Caterpillar adds to the original arcade experience with power ups & multiple playable characters amongst other innovations.
If you liked Centipede, or fancy a retro arcade hit, Bad Caterpillar is a great choice. Amazing value too & the dev is actively supporting the game.
Lots of bugs. You shoot them.
There are a couple glitches in the menus, but they are easy fixes and the gameplay is great. Works well with mouse or Steam Controller (with right pad as mouse).
I don't like the way you toggle firing, but that's nitpicking really because there is no reason to stop firing.
It's less than a dollar. I'm sure I spent at least $20 on coin-op Centipede over my lifetime.
Ever seen or played the old arcade action hit game called "Centipede"? ..If you enjoyed the old school Centipede game.. or if you just typically enjoy fun little arcade action games that are easy to learn but difficult to master, then this game is probably for you!
Watch my "First Impressions on Launch day" and my Review based on my own personal unique scoring system video right here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIhN_AsSonU
The game works perfect with a mouse. Move your ship with the mouse, turn on/off your auto-fire with the LMB and drop bombs with the RMB. Nice Fluid movement, and no reason to worry about connecting a controller because the mouse control is amazing.. but it IS nice that this little game also includes full controller support.
I scored this game at an 83% towards the end of my first impressions video above and I give this game a HIGH RECOMMEND and this also scores through the roof VALUE scores at it's launch price of 99 cents USD.
