You must hurry up and destroy all of the sections of the rapidly advancing Centipede. The centipede leaves mushrooms in its wake, making it more and more difficult to shoot subsequent centipedes.
There are several distractions within the game. First and foremost is the centipede itself. Shooting the middle of the sections of the centipede causes it to break in two parts. Those parts go on separate paths to the user. Sometimes, they attack straight down nearly, making it difficult to shoot. Secondly, the Spiders, the Fleas, the Scorpion, and the Mushrooms are all things that must be destroyed in order to complete a section successfully. The spider destroys mushrooms, the flea drops more mushrooms and the scorpions poison the mushrooms. Mushrooms take four hits to destroy.
