Russell Bernau of Super Squawk Software let us know that he has submitted a major version update to his popular Tower Defense game The Creeps! [App Store].

The Creeps! is a fun and charming Tower Defense game that has been a reader favorite. The game incorporates a a few twists to the Tower Defense genre, including the presence of physical objects (trees, gravestones) that must be destroyed before you can build towers on those spots. An abbreviated list of changes include:

  • New location added: "Under the Ocean"
  • Added 5 new ocean themed Creeps (and boss versions of all 5)
  • Added 4 new "Survival" maps
  • Added 4 new "Endurance" maps
  • Added a new game type: "Door Buster" (Race against the clock, objective is to destroy the door!)
  • Added 6 new "Door Buster" maps
  • Added New Tower: "Paper Shuriken" (moves in straight line until it hits a terrain obstacle, piercing through creeps along the way, high damage)
  • Added New Tower: "Piggy Bank" (doesn't attack, collects coins via interest. Break open to get the cash, but once broken it cannot be used again)
  • Added difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Hard)
  • Added Fast Forward (double speed)

Super Squawk has also published a series of videos that demonstrate some of the new features. This one shows the new Paper Shuriken and Piggy Bank towers:

    Nice to see the top tower defense contenders still being competative. Only Fieldrunners, Besiegement need to step up.

    Creeps still needs music though.

    This is the one that I love most about iPhone games, updates way after the original game came out. We hardly see this kind of updates in traditional games. Another good example is probably burnout paradise.

    This makes it completely worth the $5 I paid. I'm really excited for this update, this will make it a great contender, and in my opinion, the best tower defense game on the app store.

    I can definitely recommend this one. It already had a good number of maps and some unusual play mechanics.

    I love the Creeps -- it's fun and has some interesting game play mechanisms, and is seriously adorable to boot -- but haven't played it much since I cleared all the maps. This looks fabulous! I can't wait.

    Hopefully the new badges will help give everyone a reason to replay each level. If you earn all the bonuses for a given level you get a gold star badge. See if you can get a gold star on every level on Hard difficulty!
