Save Maisy, Save the Future

In Centipede: Infestation players take on the role of Max, the hero and bug slayer, who must defend Maisy, a girl whose gardens bring life back to the wasteland. Squash giant mutated centipedes, spiders, beetles, grubs, caterpillars, moths, and more. Lay waste to these mutated bugs with weapons such as machine guns, flame throwers, acid guns, rockets, and missiles among others as you use bodies of the dead bugs as defenses and power-ups like turret guns and barricades, or just crush them with your mighty stomp.
