Overview

Centipede turns a mushroom-filled playfield into a shifting shooting puzzle. Segmented creatures descend toward you, shots split them into new threats, and evasive movement keeps a high-score run alive; sequels and reimaginings build on that restless arcade rhythm. Representative games: Centipede (1981): Shooting the descending creature breaks it into smaller attackers whose paths change around mushrooms. Millipede (1982): The sequel adds a wider variety of insect enemies to the shifting mushroom battlefield. Centipede: Recharged — remake (2021): Reworks the arcade formula with power-ups, dedicated challenges and local cooperative play. Suitable for: For score chasers who like reading a crowded screen and making quick escape decisions. Short attempts reward recognising movement patterns, with each broken segment changing what you need to watch next.
