The grumpy cactus has done enough standing around! At least it wan't to have a good view. Can you help the cactus? Jump until you reach the stars! Or at least get closer to them. Break the clouds and break the records, reach new heights! If you can't go further or can't go fast enough, return and upgrade the cactus. Jump higher, run faster, find more clouds, coins and platforms. And most of all... die less.

Description

Shitty Cactus is a game of just doing what you wanted to do: Reach the place you want to go to, and if you can't make it on your first attempt, improve and try again.

History

Like many devs, I started a few projects. And like many devs, I never really finished them. One of my prototypes had a basic capsule shape with a weird texture. It looked like a cactus to me — with enough fantasy at least. How about honouring that cactus, and make it into an actual game?

The 3D version didn’t work well, so how about a 2D platformer? Climbing up and up, evading deadly enemies, swinging on ropes! Unfortunately, not all ideas made it into the final version, but the development was fun enough!
