QUByte Interactive Announces Centipede Gun: Release Date, Price, and Gameplay Details

If you have a soft spot for the "weird and wonderful" side of the indie scene, Centipede Gun just crawled onto the storefronts. Developed by Mateusk2m and published by QUByte Interactive, this title isn't your standard twin-stick shooter. It’s a modular roguelite that pivots on creativity, tasking players with assembling multi-segment mechanical monstrosities to fend off waves of enemies. At a entry price of just over four quid, it’s clearly aiming for that "one more run" budget sweet spot.

Building the Ultimate War Bug

The hook here is the modular creature-building. You don't just pick a gun; you construct a platform. Every run starts with a basic frame, but as you progress through the roguelite loop—surviving encounters, earning currency, and hitting the shop—the complexity spikes.

Modular Customization

Players combine various shapes, weapons, and modules to extend their centipede. The strategy lies in how you stack these components. You can opt for a high-velocity, rapid-fire build or pivot toward heavy area-of-effect damage. There’s a hidden layer of depth here, too: stacking similar modules can trigger secret abilities, rewarding players who experiment with specific "meta" builds rather than just slapping parts together randomly.

Auto-Combat and Accessibility

Unlike high-intensity bullet hells, Centipede Gun utilizes auto-combat mechanics. Your bizarre creation fires automatically when enemies get within range, shifting the gameplay focus from twitch-heavy reflexes to positioning and build-pathing.

Our initial time with the game suggests a low-pressure experience. While the difficulty ceiling rises as your centipede evolves, the barrier to entry remains low. We’ve previously noted that the game earns a 3.5/5, largely because of this accessibility. In our assessment, while "Centipede Gun is not a bad game, it’s just too easy," it fills a specific niche for gamers looking for a mindless session or something to entertain younger players without the frustration typical of the genre.

The Lead Tech Analyst's Take

We believe Centipede Gun is a solid "palate cleanser" game. It’s the kind of title you keep installed for short bursts between 100-hour RPGs. The modular system provides enough variety to keep the creative itch satisfied, even if veteran roguelite players might find the challenge level a bit thin.

If you’re a fan of experimenting with bizarre mechanical synergies or just want to see a giant robotic bug melt enemies while you focus on the upgrades, it's a low-risk investment. You can find it now on the Xbox Store, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
