If you like Centipede, but you suck at it, keep reading and learn to be the next great player of Centipede to amaze your family.
Steps
-
1Move around. Moving around helps. If the last part of the Centipede is at the bottom, move until it floats back up! But watch out for the spiders and bugs that fly and drop!
-
2Hit the red button almost all the time. Remember, if you hit the button quickly and move all the time, you can kill the Centipede and move to the next color and Centipede.Advertisement
-
3Use your dexterity. This is a video game, so it requires 100% dexterity. Your thumb may throb and swell, but it's worth it!
-
4Try your best. If you try hard, you can win greatly. Some people have it in their blood. Others can't do it. But the old motto says if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.
-
5Be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day, it took months or years to build. It takes a lot of time to do it.

6Practice, practice, practice. It can take weeks or months of practice and time to win at Centipede.Advertisement
