About Atari Centipede
Atari Centipede is a fixed shooter arcade game. You must fight off centipedes, spiders, scorpions and fleas using your bugblaster! Survive for as long as possible in this exciting game! The bugblaster will fire small darts at the segmented centipede. The centipede consists of 10 to 12 body parts, including the head. Each segment of the centipede becomes a mushroom when shot. Each piece continues independently on its way down to you! Shoot his head, only then the centipede is destroyed.
It's a focused casual game made for fans of the genre. Whether you want a quick five-minute break or a longer session, it runs smoothly on just about any device.
If you want to do well, keep this in mind: Play in short bursts — casual games are designed for five-minute breaks, not marathons. Use the auto-save if there is one. You won't lose progress closing the tab.
Atari Centipede is part of the hand-checked Glaze Games casual collection. Press Play to start instantly — no account, no download, just the game.
