The insects are back... and this time they are personal! Fight off wave after wave of crawlers and crawlers, from a centipede wading through mushrooms to all the spiders, fleas and scorpions from the classic arcade. Can you tame the garden? Be strong or be mulch!
Centipede for GameCom is an updated version of the classic arcade game. In addition to adapting the original game, the cartridge also includes an updated mode with higher resolution graphics and increased difficulty. Up to four players can take turns playing.
The gameplay is no different from the original. The player controls the figure at the bottom of the screen, which must shoot insects, including spiders, fleas, and scorpions, and most importantly, a centipede that moves horizontally and approaches the bottom of the screen when it hits an obstacle. When hit by a shot, the centipede splits into two separate parts.
Game options include selectable difficulty, number of lives, and movement speed. You can also choose an entry level. There is also an option to flip the screen so that the game can be played with the D-pad and buttons reversed from the standard ones.
