About the Game

There's trouble in the desert, and it's up to a lone Cacti to save the day.

Play as Jared the Cacti while exploring, battling, and blasting your way through the desert to save the Desert Sanctuary and the Great Camel King!

In this Arcade-RPG hybrid, you'll be casting spells, uncovering ancient runes, engaging with gripping NPCs, and taking down larger-than-life bosses - all as a cute lil' cactus dude!

In true RPG fashion, Jared the Cactus will earn experience points for each monster he slays, which he can then spend in the hub world to upgrade his HP, speed, and magic capabilities. How will you build Jared?
