Preface: I'm a fanboy.
I've played creeper world since the first flash game demo online.
The story is so-so. It's there but doesn't add anything to the gameplay.
Graphics is close to non-existent.

The gameplay can be varied, from fast paced to turtle crawl. Depends on your playstyle.
There is leaderboards for every map, encouraging speed running them.

Once you get past "the point" in each map where it is evident that the creeper can do you no harm the game becomes trivial and more of a chore. I still play it though, but mostly for the time leading up to "the point". After that it's just cleanup.
Would I still recommend this game in 2020, this many years after it was first released? Definitely!
The graphics is just as bad now as they were back then, but this game is not focused on graphics. The challenge of beating a level up to "the point" is what I seek when I play these types games.
