A blend of retro gaming and modern style. ←↑→↓<Arrow Keys> Move, <Space> Fire. Mobile friendly: Touch to fire and move. Say it with.

Defend yourself from hordes of larger-than-life insects. The bugs keep coming -- all kinds -- and the challenge continues while the intensity increases. Extra life awarded at 10000 points. Scoring: Scorpion (Robot): 1000 points. Flea (alien-like thing): 200 points. Meanie (the moth-like thing) is worth 300, 600 or 900 points. Myriapod head 100 points, body segment 10 points. Totem (rock): 100 points. Rock: 1 point. When you die you are awarded 5 points for every rock restored.

You're trapped in the perilous Enchanted Forest. Dark, dangerous rocks push up through the squishy forest floor, surrounding you on every side. Threatening thumps and evil buzzings fill the air. Something slimy flashes through the rocks, closing in on you. Suddenly, glaring eyes and quivering antenna jump right out at you! Some people claim that you are a garden gnome with a magic bug-zapping wand charged with eliminating the pests. Others claim that these bugs are not ordinary bugs but Godzilla-sized insects that threaten to trample your home town, and it's up to you to stop them.

I've got it: They're mutations caused by radiation. No, wait- the government made 'em. Well, there's nothing like them in the fossil record. Okay, so they predate the fossil record. That'd make them a couple of billion years old, and we've just never seen one until now. Right. I vote for outer space. No way these are local boys. Why don't we just make a run for it? We outran 'em yesterday. Run for it? Running’s not a plan! Running’s what you do once a plan fails. This valley is just one long smorgasbord.

A Myriapod remake updated to more closely follow the original Centipede gameplay.Based on Centipede (Atari) 1980, designed by Dona Bailey and Ed Logg
