About Centipede
Centipede is a free browser game you can start playing the moment the page loads — no download, no install, no account. It's aged the way good arcade design does: the rules fit in a sentence and the mastery doesn't fit in a year.
Input is simple keyboard and mouse stuff. If you can browse the web, you can play this. Playing on a phone works fine here; the game adapts to touch without complaint. If it grabs you, the related games below run in the same vein.

Tips for Centipede
- Learn the patterns — classic arcade design is deterministic under the chaos.
- Chase consistency, not high-score luck; the average run is the real score.
- Check the in-game options — small settings changes often make a big difference.
