Micropede

Micropede is a single player, mouse controlled, freeware, game based on Centipede.
In this game, the player controls a spaceship, which can move freely in the bottom third of the screen, and shoots upward to destroy the oncoming micropede. The micropede is made up of many segments, and when a section is separated from the rest of the body, its foremost segment becomes a head, forming a new creature. Scattered around the playfield are mushrooms. If a segment gets trapped by mushrooms it will either eat the mushroom or it will suddenly zigzag down to the bottom of the screen. Sometimes a large column of segments will zigzag down to the bottom.
