"Creeper Survival" (also known as Survive the Creepers) was a survival game that has attracted many players' attentions over many months. The game is about players trying to survive a creeper attack, while creepers try to kill players and convert them into creepers by exploding near them. It is unknown who made the original, but palk47 claims that he made the original game. Unfortunately, the game was copied by many players in the past, most notably Supercolin and Pieperson50, both of whom were notorious for changing their picture and title of their game to attempt to attract players into playing them. As of April 15, 2012, batistapowerbombtla maintains the most popular Creeper Survival game but closed it so now SurivalCreepers maintains It.

Ashpokeman was the co-owner of creeper survival with palk47 at the time.

Gameplay
At the beginning, players get 6 minutes to use a copy and move tool to make a base using bricks. Then once the time is up, up to three random players will become creepers, and other players become humans and lose the move and copy tools but still have a bow and laser pistol to attack the creepers. The creepers have to kill all the humans through explosion and convert them into creepers until no other players are left or if one of the players have managed to survive for one round. There are 500 seconds for the creeper to eliminate all the humans, or, if playing as the humans, to survive the onslaught. Creepers have the ability to explode by clicking the explode button, waiting for approximately 5 seconds, and exploding, killing the player and others around the explosion radius and destroy other user's base. If all humans are killed, the round ends and the place regenerates. However, if the humans have managed to survive, the survivors will earn some cash. The amount of cash earned is based on the amount of surviving humans.

Trivia

 * The Creeper is based on a famous monster from Minecraft.
 * Griefing is very common in this game; players tend to become very competitive, wanting to try to get to the highest, therefore they may ruin another person's building to achieve said action. Causing the most damage are guests and, behind guests, safechat players. To counter this, If the player is building a tower, if the griefer is placing flat square bricks next to the tower to get to the top, the player should use the move tool to prevent the griefer from progressing to the top. Said action may waste time for the griefer, reducing time to build for the griefer if they were to decide to build their own building, leaving it an easy target for creepers during survival time, and even become converted into a creeper.
 * The most common types of buildings made by players include walls, towers, forts, and stairs.
 * Some players abuse the flying trick. To do this, the player has to stick some small blocks to the player, and when they move, they will fly from the ground, making it easier to avoid attacks from creepers.
 * In most 'Survive the Creepers' games, the Redcliff Bow is used. Also common are laser weapons.
