Our beloved creator of Minecraft, Notch, was experimenting for an upcoming patch and created a recipe to craft a smart phone! Little did he know this would drastically alter the world as we know it. The phone provided a direct portal for Facebook to enter. The villagers were amused at first, but astonished at first night fall. All creepers who come anywhere near Facebook are completely spellbound and mesmerized by it! Following in the steps of many before who have discovered great power, the sought quickly to find a way to exploit it. Since this time, you will no longer see these jolly green walking time-bombs grazing the endless algorithmically generated hills. The Creepers have been lead below the surface, into the coal mines, being guided carefully into place-- then detonated. A Creepercaust is underway fueled by, greed, hatred, and only possibly justified of their ever-present "HisssSSss" in the Villager's nightmares. The Creepers appear to be utterly helpless against this tyranny.
All but one, of course. A bit of an outcast, and not very social, a young Creeper named Howard seems to have a natural immunity to Facebook's allure. It's up to him to shake his brethren out of a daze and band together to fight this new menace. Will you be able guide him to destroy this harbinger of doom?

Not sure if I'll be able to make the finishing touches before the deadline (traveling all weekend) so I'm submitting this now. Let me know what you think! (I apologize in advance for the thrown together web page. Make sure to maximize your window if the game covers the instructions or form.)
Coded just by me, but my girlfriend contributed greatly to the concept and story. I was aiming for the comp, but had a few bugs left so opted for the jam.
Despite its nitro-jelly filled noggin, an alert Creeper has lightening fast ability to perceive his surroundings and set a course of action. As a result, time only noticeably passes as the Creeper carries out his planned movements.
