How to play Centipede

Move your shooter around the bottom zone with the arrow keys, WASD, or the pad and fire upward. The centipede winds down the screen, turning whenever it hits a wall or a mushroom. Each shot splits it and leaves a mushroom; clear every segment to face a faster wave. Don’t let it reach you.
