I know the series is called Free Software Friday but this game does have a Free Playable Demo. Two actually (see below for more information).
What Is It
Creeper World is similar to a traditional Tower Defense game, but with a twist - you can Move the towers. Basically each level, you try to fight off a killer gelatinous ooze and provide energy to charge special totems that, when charged, open a portal and provide escape. You really should play the demo to learn more about the game. It is a strategy game, so if you don't like that style of game, don't bother, but if you are strategically minded and enjoy a challenge where you have to think out of the box, then this game is for you.
Here is a recording I made of one of the levels:
What do I Get for Free?
The online demo is a flash based version of the game that is available to play at KnuckleCracker.com. You can also find it on addictinggames.com or even right here on TheMaskedCrusader.com. Included in the "Training Sim" are five levels that teach you the basics of the game. Then, once you have beaten those levels, head on over to KnuckleCracker and download the Demo. The download includes the first 5 levels of the full game, enough to get you hooked.
Why Pay?
First, the game is totally worth paying for. I plunked down my $10 for the game because I (a) wanted to play the entire storyline (20 story levels), and (b) I wanted to play the extra levels included (another 35 levels). That's 55 levels of fun for $10. Also, with the full version, you can make your own levels using the Map Maker, which is free, but you have to have the full version to play your levels. I'll be uploading my created levels to the KnuckleCracker site as well as provide you downloads of The Masked Crusader's levels right here on my site.
Final Thoughts and Rating
I thoroughly enjoy this game and encourage everyone to play it and buy it. I am in no way affiliated with the dude that programmed the game, so I'm not plugging it to get something out of it, I just really liked it that much. You get 10 levels for free, which is more than a lot of free games give you. This game is totally worth the full 5 stars I've rated it. Now, go kill some creeper!
