A little caterpillar
who wants to make friends

The other bugs think Caterpy is not beautiful enough to be friends with. Gather leaves across twenty levels of jungle and beach, dodge birds, monkeys and traps, and turn into a butterfly. No adverts, no purchases, no accounts.

What's in it

Illustrated levels

Cartoon scenery across jungle and beach, by day, at sunset and at night, with a cast of birds, monkeys and bugs, all of it straight from the 2012 release.

A storybook opening

The tale of why Caterpy sets off, told in picture panels before the first level. No reading required to play.

Twenty levels

Twenty stages to work through, each picked from a map screen, with a score, a timer and three lives to lose.

Two mini games and collections

Two side games to unlock, plus sets of flowers, fruit and bugs to complete as you find them.

Simple controls

An on-screen D-pad and two buttons. That is the whole control scheme, and there is nothing to read.

Plays offline, forever

No sign-in, no network, nothing to subscribe to. Install it once and it works on a plane, in a car, anywhere.

Restored, not remade

Jinnytty made Caterpy HD in 2012. It shipped that year on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Android as version 1.1. Both listings are gone now. The original project files survived.

Everything you play is her 2012 game. The same 591 images, the same music and sound, the same levels in the same order. What changed is underneath. The project was brought forward so that it builds for modern phones, and one broken control was fixed so the D-pad works again on a touchscreen. No art was redrawn. No level was altered.

Safe for children, by construction

Small children are going to end up playing this, so it is worth being blunt about what the game does not do:

No adverts of any kind.
No in-app purchases and no prices anywhere in the game.
No accounts, no sign-in, no chat, no other players.
No analytics, no crash reporting, no tracking SDKs.
No internet use at all. The game never sends anything anywhere.

Progress is saved on the phone and nowhere else. The full privacy policy says the same thing at greater length, and it is one short page.
