Not one to force another shared universe down everyone’s throat, but are developers grin robot creating one? They already have Butterfly and Butterfly 2 to their name. Is Caterpillar then a prequel? Find out today at Caterpillar launches on Xbox and Windows PC.
As little, cute Caterpillar, you need to navigate around these 2D platforming levels. There are forty in total, and you will need to eat up the flowers along the way before you can progress to the next one. This is a platformer with a difference though: Caterpillar cannot jump.
Instead, they can crawl up walls and bounce off certain obstacles. But in terms of actually jumping, this is not your traditional platformer.
Other platformer staples are here though in the form of enemies. And what is a caterpillar’s greatest adversary? That’s right, bees! The same bees that have appeared in the Butterfly and Synchro Hedgehogs games that look more like wasps anyways. Caterpillar must land on top of them to kill them, and in the process get a boost off them.

Game description
Caterpillar is a 2d puzzle platformer. You control the caterpillar whose goal is to collect all flowers and move to the next level.
