Bug Blaster

Bug Blaster is a video game in the action genre developed by Alligata Software Ltd. and published by Alligata Software Ltd. originally released in 1983. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, BBC Micro.

Inspired by the arcade game Centipede, Bug Blaster is a single screen shooting game where you must destroy a Centipede that moves from the top of the screen. The Centipede moves across the screen and when it reaches the other side it moves down one place and moves back across the screen. You control a spaceship at the bottom of the screen that shoots the Centipede as it moves left or right, as well as being able to move forward and backward a short distance. When you shoot the Centipede several times, it splits in two and the other parts split in two when you shoot it several times.

When the centipede hits them, it changes direction, but you can shoot the mushrooms to make them disappear and receive points. Other creatures appear and you have to shoot them or avoid them, and they are an insect that places more mushrooms, spiders, scorpions and snails, and if you get hit by any creature you lose one of the three lives. Destroying all the parts of the Centipede you pass to the next level.
