Owner

Centipede Garden is an original twist inspired by Centipede. Use original names, art and level designs, nothing copied from the original.

Core mechanics

Shoot a segmented bug winding down through a field of mushrooms toward you. Hit segments split the bug and leave mushrooms; a spider and flea add pressure.

Controls

Mouse/touch drag to move within the bottom zone, click/hold to fire; arrows + Space; gamepad.

Difficulty curve

Centipede starts faster and with more heads per wave; mushroom density increases; flea appears when the bottom is clear.

Ad reward

Rapid-fire power-up for 30 seconds. Limited per run by the shell's continue rules and verified by the reward server.

Art needs

Shooter, centipede head/body segments, mushrooms (4 damage states, poisoned variant), spider, flea, scorpion-equivalent, shots.

Acceptance criteria

Playable in the shell through games/centipede-garden/manifest.json
Keyboard, touch and gamepad controls work
Difficulty ramps as described and is tuned for a fair first 2 minutes
Score, game over and local high scores integrated
Ad reward hook (onReward) implemented and tested with the placeholder provider
Sound effects respect mute and volume
Art assets in place (placeholder shapes acceptable until the art issue lands)
Runs at 60 fps on a mid-range phone
