  • TERROR SQUID IS OUT NOW - 15 October 2020

    The time has finally come. After 13 months, a bus accident, two babies and a pandemic, TERROR SQUID is descending upon the world. The team would like to direct their warmest gratitude towards our awesome community. Without the fantastic feedback from our beta testers, we wouldn't have half the game we have today. It also wouldn't be half as difficult. We're blown away by how good you guys are at bullet hells. Thank you! Now, there's only thing one left to do. Become Terror.

  • TERROR SQUID release date - 13 October 2020

    We started making this game 13 months ago. One bus accident, two babies and a pandemic later, it is finally finished. It's been a journey filled with ups and downs, but hopefully one that will end on a high. We can't wait for you all to get playing!

  • Beta 4 out now! - 13 August 2020

    The final few pieces are falling together before release. We have now implemented both leaderboards and achievements. Who will be the top squid of the beta season? Who will conquer the coveted "Become Terror" achievement? As well as these new features, the new version also has a bunch of bug fixes. If you spot more, please let us know either on the discord or on our bug tracking page: https://www.notion.so/tryapt/Bugs-2f88c0c52bb540e98259ff7d096c8ba8 Discord: https://discord.gg/MnZMmN9 Happy Terrorising!

  • Beta III: Through Pain Comes Enlightenment - 25 November 2019

    We have dug even deeper into the flesh of what was once a humble .exe running on a dusty arcade cabinet to deliver this new Beta. The entire game has been rewritten from the ground up. Mac and PC users will reap the rewards through buttery smooth performance and the first implementation of our replay system. In short, this Beta is mainly focused on under-the-hood stuff, but we hope you'll find it to be running a lot smoother than the last version. We would love to hear what you think, good or bad. New Features - Menus - New rituals - Input mapping system - Local highscore tables - no name input though - Flesh debt increased - Localization - New visuals To get in on the Beta, head on over to our Discord.

  • The Birth of TERROR SQUID - 9 September 2019

    This is a repost from a Medium Article I wrote right after TERROR SQUID won the Norwegian Gameplay Championships. It's written from a designers point of view, so it won't get into the nitty-gritty of the code. Terror Squid So I’ve decided to do this Tarantino-style and start with the ending, or result if you will. Terror Squid is an arcade action game in which you control a monster squid that is terrorising a planet with carpet bombs. Every game mechanic is tied to bombing. It’s how you move, it’s how you score, and it’s how you fail. The article below will make a lot more sense if you have at least looked at a bit of gameplay from the finished prototype: The Brief Tuesday, January 1st, 10 AM: The Norwegian Film Institute (The host of the event) releases the brief for the Norwegian Gameplay Championships of 2019. The theme is simply “Arcade”, along with a list of technical requirements…

  • Beta 2: The Flesh is Weak - 28 August 2019

    https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F35725324%2F66245000391df2f2a827f74c567a99595e203cdf.png In this update we are ripping and tearing everything apart and trying out a brand new gameplay loop. We're really excited to hear what you think about it, so give these patch notes a quick read and get dodging! Gameplay - Scoring has been removed and replaced by a timer. The objective of the game is to survive for as long as possible. - Death is inevitable. There is no hope. - Towers and time bonuses have been removed, to make the game more survival-focused. - When the player gets hit, the game is over. - The player moves at a constant pace and cannot stop firing. - Added a dash mechanic to give the player more tools to survive. - New level system: Instead of the level and difficulty increasing along with the number of towers destroyed, the level increases every time…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $3.99
  • Highest observed: $3.99

TERROR SQUID's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $3.99, the highest is $3.99, and the first visible tracked price is $3.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

TERROR SQUID's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $3.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $3.99. The latest run records $3.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $3.99
  • Current list price: $3.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records TERROR SQUID at $3.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
