Look for videos by YouTubers such as Angory Tom - that should give you a good idea what is needed - then you can refine your playstyle to improve. :)

For this entry in particular, there are tricks to shut down (or ignore) creeper in pretty much every map.

On a more general approach, pausing the game ensure creep is not snowballing on you is the biggest save. You want some econ and upgrades asap, then open an attack area quickly so you can start shooting at creeper.

The early map with a large "tree" is a big exemple. You can rush the right creeper by opening a tunnel and dropping a couple basic ships to stall it, then missile it when you have more energy. You do that in the first minute. Then you ignore all creeper in middle and left, within 2min of start, you dig a narrow path toward the cube that's all alone on the left and you can charge it.

Getting the pod below the lava is slightly more time-consuming, but not that difficult.

I recommend rebinding Pause to a more friendly key, like space bar. Pause frequently and reduce the time pressure that most maps have.

Like most other creeper titles, your early game economy is very fragile. Avoiding an early game stall is very important, and getting your energy set up is a major priority.

Look for green pixelium on the maps. They are energy boosts and are great starting points. Spend the free energy on reactors, and don't worry much about ships. As the economy grows you can start deploying everything and make full use of them.

Thats a good idea the game seems to snowball quickly if your not pausing. question about lava, water, and pixlaim or something on the 3d level. also how do you use anti creeper and shields. ill look at Angory Tom vids to get more of an idea thanks

The wiki has details on the terrain types and what they do. How you use anticreeper depends on where it is, but the idea is just to get it to the creeper. Shields are built on open space with Tab, you just paint them on the map to be built just like you dig out terrain.

[Bobucles]

Anti creeper tends to not be as useful as using sheer firepower against creeper. It is more useful defensively, much like a shield for fragile units. Other titles have a similar idea of very low density creeper that spreads far and wide, and anticreeper is excellent at handling that.

My favorite use is to concentrate anti creep over nullifiers to protect them during a zap. It's a shame they can't magnet in more anticreep to cover themselves.

There is a 2nd bonus level since the Steam Live Fest (like 2-3 days ago), without C-bomb.

Not sure how I unlocked it though.

It unlocked for me at the same time as the other bonus level.

About pausing. I pause constantly in every Creeper game. It really is a life saver since it artificially slows down the game when things are getting crazy.

Slow and steady wins the race, just like how the creep does it.
