Hold Back the Creeper
Build Energy Networks
Push Across the Map
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 defend a capital and its surrounding territory from the Creeper, a fluid-like enemy that spreads across the map and threatens to overwhelm your position. Each mission puts you against a different layout and set of Creeper spawn points.
Build structures to generate energy and extend your reach, then place weapons to hold back the advancing flood. Managing energy, space, supply, terrain, and the timing of your push lets you establish a defensive line and work toward each mission’s objectives.
The game includes a story campaign, Conquest levels, and Special Ops missions, along with Chronom maps generated from a selected date. The Anniversary Edition updates the unit graphics and background image resolution.
The supplied reviews frequently enjoy the game’s unusual fluid enemy and its blend of tower defense and RTS strategy: players describe adapting their defenses and expansion plans to each map as engaging and satisfying. Several also value its approachable rules and nostalgic feel. Some reviewers find the challenge light or the later cleanup repetitive, and a few compare its scale or depth unfavorably with later entries.
