This game is fun on a controller, but it's infinitely a better game with a mouse. I was over 4 hours in when I accidentally started a game with the mouse and holy moly! Did it make the game better than controller? Absofreaking lutely! *Update! The game has lag really bad in spots that are baaaad to have lag. It happened to both my Steam Deck oled, but also my intel 9, NVIDIA 3080 with 32 Ram. If anyone knows how I can fix this? Is it something I am doing? Or a setting I can change? This takes the game from a 4 down to a 2. Still fun, but is disappointing. But on a sale, worth every penny.

Centipede Recharged is a great nod to the original. It is just as fun with a lot more polish and effects. I am really enjoying trying to best my last best score. I loved the original and I love this one too. Currently sitting at 110th worldwide!
