About this game

Centi-Bug is a straightforward arcade shooter developed and published by dk'tronics for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Inspired by Centipede, it challenges players to shoot a long, slithering alien as it moves down a gridded play area before it reaches the bottom.

The player's ship can move in all four compass directions. Although keys can be defined, joystick support does not appear to work.
