Centipede on Game Boy is that classic arcade itch in portable form—just you, a tiny ship, and a screen full of segmented nightmares. At first, it seems simple: shoot the centipede before it reaches the bottom. But then mushrooms start cluttering the field, spiders zigzag unpredictably, and suddenly you're sweating over pixel-perfect dodges.

The controls are tight, which helps when fleas start raining down like some kind of buggy apocalypse. I love how the centipede splits into smaller, faster threats when you hit its middle segments—turns a clean shot into chaos real quick. And that chunky Game Boy sound when you blast a spider? Weirdly satisfying.

It’s definitely harder than I remembered from arcade cabinets, but in that good "one more try" way. Just don’t expect fancy graphics—this is pure, unfiltered ’80s arcade pressure crammed into a handheld. Perfect for short bursts or seeing how long you can last before the bugs overwhelm you.
