Creeper World is a real-time strategy game built around the central conceit of liquid physics. You're not managing units, but rather a flow of energy that must be carefully channeled to power your defenses and destroy the encroaching tide of "creeper." The game's unique ebb and flow, the constant tension of resource management as you desperately try to stay one step ahead of the creeping enemy, is what keeps players invested in its unique brand of strategic problem-solving.

About Creeper World

Details
Imagine an enemy that is everywhere and moves like a giant, organic mass across the map. Imagine your base and your people surrounded by a blanket of crushing destruction from all directions. Your only hope, well what hope? Then you take the high ground and pound this enemy into oblivion. You've saved the day just so you can do it again and again. Do you have what it takes to save your great city and all of history?
