------------------

Heriesald is under attack! Your village is located in the heart of a huge forest, and because of its rich natural resources, the Larva King has decided to occupy it. The Larva King has a large army of larvae and he also summoned an army of angry insects. Now it’s time to pick up your bow and arrow and defend your home!

Larva:
The Larva King’s larva army is composed of a special creature, whose each individual segment can become a larva and move on its own. This means if a larva is shot, that specific segment becomes a skull, and the segment ahead becomes the tail of a new larva and the segment behind becomes the head of a new larva. If the tail of a larva is shot, the segment ahead becomes the new tail and if the head of a larva is shot, the segment behind becomes the new head.
Some larvae are shorter and some are longer. Some are faster and some are slower.

Obstacles:
Skull: it takes 3 hits of a normal arrow to destroy a skull.
Tree: it takes 4 hits of a normal arrow to destroy a skull.
Rocks: it takes 5 hits of a normal arrow to destroy a skull.
Houses: it takes 6 hits of a normal arrow to destroy a skull.

Insects:
Angry insects fly down from the top of the screen to attack the player on random routes, at random speed and at random intervals. Some insects are more difficult to kill than others.
Bee/mosquito/fly: it takes 1 hit of a normal arrow to destroy a bee/mosquito/fly.
Moth: it takes 2 hits of a normal arrow to destroy a moth.
Beetle: it takes 3 hits of a normal arrow to destroy a beetle.

Power-ups:
By destroying a skull, tree, rock, house or an insect, a power-up might fall. These power-ups can make your fight with the enemies much easier.
- Double Speed: the arrows are shot at twice the normal speed.
- Triple Speed: the arrows are shot at three times the normal speed.
- Triple Arrow: three arrows will be shot at the same time in three directions.
- Freeze: it slows down all the larvae and insects.
- Double Damage Arrow: each arrow causes double damage to the obstacles and enemies.
- Invincible Arrow: the arrow won't be stopped and gives 1 damage to all the obstacles and enemies in the way.
- Exploding Arrow: the arrow explodes when touching an obstacle/enemy and gives 1 damage to all nearby obstacles and enemies.
- Protection: you’ll be protected from any enemies.

Tips:
If some levels seem impossible to pass, don’t give up and just keep trying. Remember that winning a level depends a lot on catching the right power-up at the right moment.

### 5/5 — Forget CENTIPEDE

*2025-06-10*

This is graphically superior than that. The controls are easy just move. Firing is thankfully automatic! The power ups make the original Centipede look boring in comparison. In case you unaware Mr Dong has JezzMania that is sort of similar to Qix that I’ve also did a review for. Like to see more “one finger” retro games. I can’t wait to see your next retro arcade game. Five stars plus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = TEN STARS!

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2025-02-19*

I found this game looking for centipede and I’m glad I did. No ads, the game play is really good unlike centipede you die once and you have to start over but here you get multiple lives and my favorite part is that at any time I can pause the game and pick right back up where I left off.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-08-14*

I can only give 5 stars and i recommend other to do the same. A perfect game with amazing pixel art with amazing nostalgic 1980 arcade game music. No ads and no buttons or screens popping up in your face to buy things. A very simple but entertaining game with many features. This game needs to be top #1

### 5/5 — Absolutely Fantastic

*2024-01-22*

I’ve been looking for a game like this for quite awhile and this one does not disappoint.  I loved. Centipede as a kid playing video games and I play this to relax and feel like a kid again.  Love love love it.

### 4/5 — Centipede related

*2023-12-24*

This is good level-up Centipede game, but I get bumped under the bottom screen where no larva can attack me, & still get chance to get some of good power-ups from down there, & one of power-up is very powerful that it can wipe-out all the obstacles in just seconds after knocking-down bunch of different power-ups.
And they should make another much greater (Arcade) related to Millipede-this time with mushrooms-put grass, dandelions, green & white clovers.
Other insects to add with what it have in Arcade Millipede-is add grasshoppers, Earthworms, pill bugs, ants, etc. then the other flying insects-add fireflies, bumblebees, wasps, moth, etc., & maybe 2 other kinds of garden bombs to shoot with the DDT bombs.
Then how long will it take to make this Millipede related game, how many megabytes this one will take, and will there be many problems & errors if try making this Millipede related game-
Good Look to make this Millipede related game next, because I would really like to see the Millipede related game to be make next with the other information I just typed from above for this one!

### 5/5 — Larva Attact

*2023-08-03*

My favorite video game in the 80s was Centipede and this is a fun, free alternative. I don’t need fancy games, just easy play to relax and pass some down time. No adds or in app purchases, yay!

### 5/5 — N🐛CE

*2022-11-18*

Just getting started & i like the power ups. Keep up your Funtaztic heArtwork Yo!
