What is Creep Tamer?

Creep Tamer is a creature-taming RPG where every creature is one of twikoi's drawings. You pick a first creature, walk out of Camp into the wild, and meet her other creatures in the tall grass.

Battles are turn by turn with a team of three. Each creature has four moves named after her little drawings, like Ink Star, Ant March and Blueberry Bomb, and six types that beat each other in a ring: Ink, Star, Bug, Bloom, Bone and Sweet.

To catch a wild creature, make it tired and throw a strawberry. A ring shrinks around it: tap when it is small for a great throw. Creatures level up, grow bigger and learn new moves, and four Garden Keepers wait to test your team.

How to play

  1. Walk with the ◀▲▼▶ pad on a phone, the arrow keys or WASD on a computer, or just tap where you want to go.
  2. Walk into tall grass to meet wild creatures. A (or Enter) talks and checks things; B (or Esc) opens the menu.
  3. In a battle, tap one of your four moves. A ×2! on a move means it hits that creature twice as hard.
  4. Tap Catch to throw a strawberry, then tap again when the ring is small and green.
  5. Beat a Garden Keeper for a ribbon: the ink ants at Camp march aside and the next wild place opens.
