The creeper is all around you, and you have an AC Spore Tower that spams spores, but there might be a random chance where it won't be AC spores. Will you use the spore tower and hope for luck, or destroy it and face the creeper without assistance?

Why can't you shoot down the ones carrying creeper?

They do not carry creeper, but very much anticreeper, resulting in overflow effect.

See your own explanation:

The maximum value of a signed 32-bit integer (the most common type for a 32-bit program) is 2^31 = 2,147,483,648.

Creeper is stored with 6 digits after the decimal place.  This means the maximum creeper that you can have is 2,147.  Anything beyond this causes an overflow and it becomes anticreeper.  Should you somehow manage to get more than 2,147 anticreeper in a spot it would do the same thing, overflow and become creeper.

This was a surprising fun game. Played it a few times, might play it a few more.
