DIYGamer: Not too long ago, we reviewed the Creeper World games and found them to be more than a little nifty. Unfortunately, the series has been relatively unknown up til’ this point, despite bringing a lot of very clever and unique elements to the Tower Defense concept and salvaging a lot of the core concepts from obscure Russian RTS Perimeter. That changed last week, with the release of Creeper World: Evermore.
GG3 records more gameplay commentaries to talk about some current game deals. The latest is the Indie Strategy Bundle, which is the newest Bundle in a Box package. It has 12 games, all built on sheer gameplay. One of the most design-driven games there is Creeper World and that's the challenge to show while going over the details of the other games.
DIYGamer.com: When you think of ‘Creeps’ in a tower defense game, most tend to think of expendable yet loathesome blobs of stats, just waiting to be chipped away at by your mathematically positioned defenses. In the Creeper World games, you’re up against something much more elemental. Something more organic, and much bigger. You’re fighting an ocean. An ocean that hates you.

My guess is that it will somehow involve Jodie Foster. According to the developer behind Creeper World, the alien force will be an ever-expanding liquid bent on consumption of all life. Sounds neat! And messy! In Creeper World, you must advance the last floating human city from planet to planet through a series of warp gates, fending off the evil ooze along the way. How will this twist on the tower defense deliver the strategy?"
