How to play Centipede
- Press Start. The centipede winds down from the top through a field of mushrooms.
- Move your shooter with the arrow keys or D-pad and fire upward with Space or the FIRE button.
- Each hit on the centipede splits it in two and drops a mushroom where it was hit.
- Destroy every segment to clear the wave. Don't let the centipede reach you.

Tips & strategy
- Pick off the end segments so the centipede doesn't split into two long threats.
- Mushrooms take several shots — thin them out to keep clear firing lanes.
- Stay mobile along the bottom rows; a cornered shooter gets overrun.
- Each cleared wave is faster, so clear them before the field clogs with mushrooms.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when I hit the centipede?
The hit segment turns into a mushroom and the centipede splits into two independent pieces at that point.
How do I clear a wave?
Destroy every segment. A new, faster centipede then descends into whatever mushrooms remain.
