Millipede Overview
Alt. Names:
Centipede Deluxe
Millipede is a sequel to Centipede, sharing its core mechanics but introducing a new array of garden pests. The player operates a bug zapper, firing arrows to eliminate insects that threaten the environment.
Primary targets include the multi-segmented millipede, which moves through a mushroom field toward the screen's bottom. Destroying all its segments allows progression to a challenging subsequent stage. Various other creatures, such as spiders, bees, dragonflies, and earwigs, also appear and are worth differing point values.
Strategic opportunities arise with the occasional appearance of DDT. When shot, it explodes, potentially destroying multiple millipede segments and other insects caught in the blast for a tactical advantage.
