Evaluation
Bad Caterpillar launched on October 19, 2016 as a retro 2D arcade shooter. Over the years, Fun Infused Games shipped a handful of updates: early quality-of-life patches in late 2016, a v1.5 bug fix patch in December 2019, a significant v2.0 feature update in April 2021, a Steam Deck compatibility update (v2.1) in December 2022, a UI improvement patch (v2.11) in January 2023, and a mouse bug fix on January 21, 2023. That January 21, 2023 bug fix is the last recorded developer activity. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no developer statements indicating plans for additional updates. The game has no live service structure and the store description makes no mention of ongoing content. The developer has been silent since January 21, 2023 — over three years — and the update history shows no sustained cadence of major content releases that would suggest more is coming. The game appears to have launched as a finished product and received incremental polish over time, with development now concluded.
Evidence
v2.0 major update added animated level blocks, improved item drops, Steam stats support, and various bug fixes — the only major content release post-launch.
Mouse bug fix patch released — the last recorded developer communication as of 2026-06-27.

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.
