Gameplay

Reception

Scott A. May for Compute! said "Creepers plays well, but it lacks the zest and individuality needed to stand out in this popular genre." [1]

David S. Moskowitz for VideoGames & Computer Entertainment said "Creepers is just as enjoyable and addictive as one would expect from Psygnosis [...] computer-puzzle fans have very little to complain about." [2]

Ken Hill for Computer Gaming World said "All in all, Creepers is a disappointment. Something about the whole premise just doesn't work; the ideas here just aren't as fresh as they were in the original Lemmings." [3]
