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 6d5b4406ea Title: Bad CaterpillarGenre: Action, Casual, IndieDeveloper:Fun Infused GamesPublisher:Fun Infused GamesRelease Date: 19 Oct, 2016 Bad Caterpillar Download Youtube Entirely retro, like space invaders and it's descendant games from your misspent youth, where you move your ship left to right, killing the encroaching enemy. Very easy to pickup, and, for me, quite nostalgic. A simple game concept, but one that may be fun to a lot of people.Make up your own mind with this gameplay https:\/\/youtu.be\/7s2_-qbWwRg. 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.. 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_AsSonUThe 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.. 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.. 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.
