How to Play Atari Centipede
Move the blaster with the keyboard or the mouse and fire darts up the screen. You are locked to the lower band of the play area, so survival is about lateral movement rather than retreating.
Clear mushrooms while you have room. Every segment you shoot leaves one behind, and a screen full of mushrooms funnels the centipede down at you faster than you can shoot it, so thinning them early is what keeps a run alive.
