Creepy Crawlies

Well what can I say about Creepy Crawlies, well its a Centipede-Clone (obviously) by Frank Schonlau

The player controls a small Ship. It is moved around the bottom area of the screen, and your aim is to fire darts at a segmented centipede advancing from the top of the screen through a field of mushrooms

Each segment of the Centipede becomes a mushroom when shot, shooting one of the middle segments splits the centipede into two pieces at that point. Each piece then continues independently on its way down the screen. If the centipede head is destroyed, the segment behind it becomes the next head

The centipede starts at the top of the screen, traveling either left or right. When it touches a mushroom or reaches the edge of the screen, it descends one level and reverses direction

The player can destroy Mushrooms (a point each) by shooting them, but each takes four shots to destroy. At higher levels, the screen can become increasingly crowded with mushrooms due to player/enemy actions, causing the centipede to descend more rapidly

On later levels, you have Fruit pieces which you need to shoot, in addition to the Centipede in order to clear the level, and there is a Flying Wasp which bounces in and out of the screen, along with Enemies what place more Mushrooms on the screen, moving in a downward motion, you can kill these as well

This game has some nice sound effects, on the Title Screen and In-Game, and supports High Score Saving, so you can try and attempt to beat your previous score each time you play, above all, this is a well made game
