Apex Evolution Transforms Creeper World IXE Completely
17In this video, we jump into the Colonies map “Apex Evolution” in Creeper World IXE, a wild experimental level that turns the game into something closer to a top-down leveling shooter. You start as a weak single-ship unit and slowly gain power by wiping out Creeper, unlocking randomized ship upgrades as you go. Rockets, sentry guns, cannon fire rates, Bertha shots—everything escalates fast and stays there.
Apex Evolution introduces a completely different pace and structure from the usual Creeper World IXE experience. Instead of managing base structures and territory, you're focused on real-time combat, dodging, and drilling through creeper-filled trenches while optimizing your build. The scaling feels deliberate and smooth, with difficulty and upgrades keeping pace in a satisfying loop. It’s short, fast, and different.
This map blends some of the auto-battler energy from games like Vampire Survivors into the Creeper World IXE engine, and it works way better than expected. The moment-to-moment upgrades keep you thinking, and despite the goofy tone, it actually forces you to pay attention to enemy placement, digitalis growth, and your ship’s positioning.
If you're a fan of Creeper World IXE and you're looking for something fresh to try out, this is absolutely worth a look. Hopefully, more levels like this show up in the Colonies collection going forward—there’s real potential in this direction.
