I really loved _Creeper World 3_, but didn't play the CW4, as I tried the demo and found that it's laggy on my non-gaming notebook. The new part in the series, named _Creeper World IXE_, seems like it will use falling-sand-like pixel physics and a 2D side-view similar to CW2. The falling-sand terrain physics remind me of _Noita_, but will be interesting to see that in a TD game. I'm really looking forward to playing this!
