Enemies

There are all the enemies present in Centipede, and several new ones. There is an inchworm, which slows down all enemies temporarily when shot. There is a beetle, which turns mushrooms into indestructible flowers and moves the entire mushroom field down one row if hit (this also happens when a stage is cleared). The dragonfly is like the flea (which in this game is replaced by a bee), but it moves from side-to-side down the screen as it adds mushrooms. Multiple spiders, which remove mushrooms as in the original game, can be present simultaneously. There are also DDT bombs which take out an area. Other enemies include the earwig which replaces the scorpion, and the mosquito which moves diagonally, and changes direction when it hits a side of the screen, and moves the mushroom field up one row if hit.
