Centipede and the fixed-shooter fight over your crop

Centipede drops you into an Arcade setup where insects crawl toward your plants while you track them across the playfield. You steer the bugblaster and fire darts at the moving line, then adjust fast when new threats join from above or the sides.

Break the centipede into separate pieces

The main target is a long segmented centipede, and each body part you hit turns into a mushroom that changes the lane layout. Keep working up to the head, because only that final hit clears the creature for good. The rest of the body keeps moving on its own, so one mistake can leave the screen crowded in a hurry.

Handle spiders, scorpions, and fleas

The centipede is only one part of the pressure. Spiders, scorpions, and fleas all behave differently, and taking them out brings extra points while they complicate your aim. If you want a tougher fixed-shooter run, Galaxy Attack Alien Shooter and Star Wing are the closest matches in the same lane-clearing style.

Move with keyboard or mouse on a modern screen

You can control the blaster with the keyboard or mouse, which keeps the action direct and readable even when mushrooms block the lane. The updated presentation is made for farming defense, and the insect attackers fit the alien and survival pressure of the original arcade formula. On mobile devices, the enhanced version keeps the same shoot-and-shift rhythm without changing the core goal.

That mix of simple movement and escalating screen control is why Centipede still works as a no download challenge in your browser.
