Poor cactus.. all he wants to do is stay dry and here's some jerk dropping fish tanks and water bottles on him! How rude!
Cute game!

Cute game!
Cool game, the art fits it really well!
I'm pretty sure this isn't botanically accurate...
As for the game though, it's pretty simple, but I have to ask if you specifically avoided keyboard controls to follow up with the theme, or if that was just for mobile accessability?
Lovely simple sprites, though!
I like it, It seems to be built especially built for mobile.
Cool game tho
The art is great. It would be nice to be able to use the arrow keys to move instead of clicking on the boxes.
The controls being for mobile this game was frustrating to play on a computer. also it's a bit finnicky as to when you get hit and when it's too low to hit you
Cute game, on Windows I think the controls are a bit annoying though. I like the fish bowls and such that fall on the cactus, it's a cute detail that I really enjoyed.
It is simple, and I like that - quite a nice concept! I only wish that there could be keyboard controls for desktop, like arrow keys!
the graphics and theme are nice, but I found the gameplay a bit annoying. would be nice to have keyboard controls on the windows version.
Works fine on Mac ! :) Nice game !
*Update*
I will make arrow controls for windows ASAP
(and thanks for the tips :) )
Very nice graphics! It shows that graphics don't have to be complex to be good.
I guess this game is easier on a mobile device, since you can hover your thumbs above the boxes.
I could have used some simple music, but overall it is very entertaining!
Goed gedaan!
Played it on my Macbook and clicking the two boxes was annoying, wish I could just use arrow keys. Also felt like I would get to a point where it would be impossible not to get hit by water. I like the look though.
Cute graphics. The presentation is good.
Fun game, really like the 'simple' art style a lot!
Although, cacti contain water, so does this mean the cactus hates itself?
I laughed. I died. I was a cactus.
The art looks really nice and polished :)
The controls work good on android, the gameplay isn't too exciting though. Maybe you could spice it up with some other mechanics.
For example every now and then the cactus grows a flower, and during the time the flower is visible you have to collect the items instead of dodging them.
nice little game. I lol'd at the fishbowl
Neat little game! I kinda wish you would've binded keys with the buttons.
cool game! i could see this doing well on the app store, also i can confirm that it works on mac :)
Cute game! As others already said a keyboard control would be usefull. Otherwise it's a funny game with a good finish.
Simple but fun idea that fits both themes well. Like the graphics and humor. Nice entry.
Awesome! All my life I dream to be a cactus :D
Very good idea in two buttons
Loved the graphics style, nice work. The gameplay was really funny haha :-D
Pretty Simple but pretty simple, enjoyed playing this game ^^.
Thanks for the feedback all, I would love to hear tips if someone has any :)
The controls are a bit weird but it's a fun little game! :)
As I said on the stream, if this game had a bit more features it would be a cool game in its genre. A couple of more effects here and there, more animations, etc. and this would be pretty cool to play on my phone.
Solid Entry, I only missed some variation and a little bit context. Cause was the cactus flying? in what did he make his metres? Keep on going!
Nice simple but very polished game. May show the previous grown cactis in the main menus background with a scaled height?
This game is a lie! - Anonymous Cactus
Simple little game, cute. I would have liked to control it with the arrow keys, but I guess this makes it more challenging! Like the chunky pixel art and soundfx.
