Overview
Description

Centipede: Infestation reimagines the classic arcade shooter in a gritty, post‑apocalyptic world where giant bugs threaten the last remnants of plant life. Players wield a variety of weapons as they battle through diverse stages, using special seeds to restore vegetation and hope. The game supports both solo play and cooperative mode, letting friends team up as Max, Maisy, and other characters to tackle tougher enemies and unlock new abilities, making the experience more strategic and fun.

In "The Culling of the Cows" you step into the shoes of Sammy, a delusional farmer armed with a dusty 12‑gauge and a divine vendetta. This side‑scrolling shooter blends frantic gunplay with tower‑defense strategy as waves of infected creatures overrun his fields. The game’s tongue‑in‑cheek narrative and retro pixel art deliver a fast‑paced, single‑player experience that rewards precise shooting, strategic placement of defenses, and a healthy dose of insanity. Every level challenges you to balance offense and defense while listening to Sammy’s rambling monologues.
