I recently discovered this gem of a tower defence game from a YouTube channel and oh boy I'm glad that I did. The mechanics are simple but very addictive. Basically you are fighting an enemy know as the creep (a huge liquid mass blob) and have to place structures all around the map to fight it and escape to the next level. There is a light story mode and predefined levels as well as random levels to play at your hearts content. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this one, and for the fair price, it's a no-brainer. Highly recommended!

I played this game after playing creeper worlds 3,4, and 2, in that order. This game is the simplest of them all, and plays somewhat similarly to 3. Still, if you enjoy the other games, you'll enjoy this one.

With the release of Creeper World IXE, I figured I'd take the time to play through the series. Creeper World is a series in which you play a commander and you have to fend off the creep from flooding the world and destroying Odin city (Your base.) Unlike standard Tower Defense in which waves come down a lane/path, Creeper World's Creep is essentially water. That means it drips from higher elevations to low, it pools up and has depth, and has the potential to travel backwards by attacking the source rather than its current point. Story is simplistic, not enough for me to care but its there to just explain why you are going from planet to planet. You save a few survivors, you unlock new tech... standard "As you play more, you get more cool toys." formula. Graphics are simplistic, sound design is basic and I recognize a few "public domain" tracks. 8/10 Game play shines depth, the rest of the game is 6/10 that works but all it needs to do. Haven't tried "Double down" mode, but I've spoiled the hard difficulty you get told at the end of special operations. Wonder if it got tested... they didn't put any Steam Achievements for it so I'm going to say it did. Now to CW2...

It feels like an old friend, one that I first met back in 2010 when I purchased it directly from the developer’s website. It’s a shame that my original CreeperWorldInstall.exe link no longer works :-( , but I can’t say I regret buying it again now that it’s on Steam. Earning achievements is a small bonus compared to the nostalgic thrill of diving back into a game that taught me one of the most important lessons in strategy: every second matters, and you don’t have to rid the entire map of creeper to secure victory. The beauty of this title lies in its minimalist yet highly functional presentation. It forgoes flashy visuals in favor of razor-sharp gameplay that hinges on resource management and quick decision-making. Despite its simple aesthetic, there’s nothing dated about the tension it creates when the creeper starts pouring in from every corner of the map. Planning defenses, timing weapon placements are all part of the frantic dance that makes each mission so engaging. It’s also incredible to see how this early concept blossomed into a beloved franchise. The developers have poured years of dedication into refining and expanding the original idea, and it shows. There’s a special satisfaction in returning to the Anniversary Edition and seeing how well it has held up, proof that solid game design never truly ages. For me, Creeper World: Anniversary Edition remains a testament to clever strategy and timeless fun. Whether you’re a fan from way back or a newcomer curious about the series, it’s worth experiencing at least once. I’m grateful the developers stuck with it and built something that continues to captivate so many years later.
