How to Play
Shoot the bugs to score points and destroy the centipede to move on to the next level. The centipede will move slowly down to the bottom of the screen and then stay there, moving in a continuous loop until you destroy it. Each time you shoot the centipede, it breaks up into smaller centipede segments. You can also destroy the mushrooms to create more space to move and a clearer line of fire.
Like many of the early arcade classics, the bugs move in predictable patterns that you can exploit with quick timing. When you progress further this can get trickier as the game throws more bugs at you and they move faster!
