Barricade OF CACTI

Game Description
In this game you assume the role of someone who is lost in the desert and has found an oasis. In order to defend your water source you need to create a barricade of cacti around it. This can be done by planting cactus seeds around the periphery of the oasis. You have to defend the oasis for a set amount of time in order to win. There are multiple oases to defend and the difficulty progresses with each one.

Nice idea and big bright sprites, controls were a bit unresponsive.

Not sure what i was doing, having a bath with animals.

The music made me sweaty and I got immersed in trying to defend my oasis from the horde of riff-raff animals who might be thirsty. I really tried to defend it but I got overrun :( Hopefully others fared better. Good work, particularly on the animations and audio.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I hope it wasn't too stressful to play.

I enjoyed the graphics and audio, but I'm not sure I understood the gameplay correctly; you need to run into cacti to get more seeds but they also damage you? I think this could benefit a lot from slightly more complex mechanics!

Developer

I understand that the game mechanics are quite odd and could use work, but I'm glad that you like the art and music.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems playing the game. However, I appreciate the compliments.
