Centipede is a remake of the classic arcade shooter Centipede, originally released by Atari in 1980. This version keeps some of the original game's shooter-style gameplay while mixing in more console-style exploration. Gameplay progresses through five "worlds": Weedom, Frostonia, Infernium, Enigma, and Evile. Players blast away at the classic centipedes, spiders, fleas, and scorpions while fighting new enemies like the mosquito, cockroach, and killer mushroom. A "classic" mode is also included, which allows players to play the original game in a new "3D" isometric perspective.
The gameplay of Centipede is fast-paced and action-packed, with an emphasis on shooting and dodging enemies. Players control a spaceship that moves left and right across the screen, blasting centipedes and other enemies as they approach. The game features a variety of power-ups and upgrades, including extra lives and increased firepower. With its simple yet addictive gameplay, Centipede is sure to appeal to fans of classic shooters.
