A simple little gimmick map. No weapons, just control the creeper and use it to save the survivors. Good luck!

remember to think ahead, use micro rifts to power up repulsors which will be blocked off once you get the creeper flowing. Also, it's a good idea to keep the creeper back until you have all of your stuff set up.

Starting off, thumbs up for the well done map :) But I just wanted to let you know that this map is absolutely evil. I never thought I would hate AC so very much... I'll get around to finishing this sometime :P

Well, it was a good concept. I think it was kind of poorly executed... And I think a lot of people don't get it. To the average creeper world player, new concepts are scary. Lmao.

For future reference, the only way to beat the map is to use creeper to break down the decayable terrain with ore in it. Use Repulsors to get it where you want it to go. This map will teach you everything you never wanted to know about Repulsors. :P

I think they are named repulsors with adequate reason...

I think your concept is very fine, but after 23 minutes and having broken through the first 2 walls, I simply got bored. The map is to long imo. If perhaps there had been fresh pools of creeper after each wall, it might have been more interesting. But having to maintain the little pool, and only take parts of it with me, and stop it from overflowing, and compacting the anti creeper...just to much micro-management for such a big map.

I concur. Though putting extra creeper pits throughout the level would kind of ruin the concept, unless done right. I'll think about it... On a side note, I'll also try to make the next level (do you think i should try this concept again?) a lot more exciting. I didn't want to go too overboard with introducing a new concept.

I've had a comeback to Creeper World 2, and played this map, and loved it. Went to post a comment and realized I allready posted a comment for this map nearly 10 years ago. Seems I didn't like it back then. Shows how taste can change.
