Although this game utilizes the same format and controls as ''[[Centipede]]'', ''Millipede'' offers many extra elements that test your skill limits. You still shoot from the bottom of the screen at a field of mushrooms, but instead of battling just the original four arthropods, you now face a deadlier variety of enemy bugs: millipedes, spiders, bees, beetles, earwigs, inchworms, dragonflies, and mosquitoes. Naturally, each of these creatures has unique characteristics that must be studied. In addition, the mushrooms move up or down, and sometimes change around after the end of a level. |

Fortunately, there is a new feature that can be used to the player's advantage: DDT bombs. Four of them can appear on the playfield at any given time. Shooting one of them unleashes a cloud of deadly gas that destroys any insects, flowers or mushrooms in the area. |
