Play as  gnome of the frontline army in this shoot'em'up roguelike based on the classic game Centipede! Your job is to destroy the pests invading your gardens, continuing to push them back until you get to their nest.

They will never stop spawning, they will one day take over the gardens as was foretold, but your sacrifice, like many gnomes before you, will help delay "The Day Of The Centipede" just a little longer...

(The last level is a classic wave system where you will see how long you can survive, as difficulty increases)
