Flippin Kaktus is an action-driven vendetta featuring a spiky hero with the thorny past and rage-outbreaks combat style

When the vicious "Calaveras" drug cartel raids his home, he breaks bad in a hardcore journey to save his foster family.

Reveal the dark side of the wacky 80s punk and flip the switch to obliterate anyone in his path!


Thorny gameplay features

Break BAD...

When you fight alone against the vicious cartel, the end justifies the extreme. Switch Kaktus into the RAGE mode to make raiders get what they deserve. Fuel up with tequila and adrenaline-pumping substances to annihilate your enemies into oblivion.

...Or keep a COOL head

If you don't want to find yourself in an open fight with the hostiles without a plan, you can always try to sabotage their actions! Strategize and challenge your reflexes: dodge bullets, equip various armor, set ambushes and traps and make use of the interactive environment to get rid of the thugs. Forklift lowrider? It’s on!

In ADDICTIVE gameplay

Never get bored with endless tactical possibilities (and explosions)! Excel in action by mixing stealth and dexterity with rage-fueled killing sprees to dominate your opponents.

Sending NOSTALGIC vibes...

Immerse yourself into 11 unique locations and beautifully hand-crafted levels inspired by Latin-American aesthetics, classic retro games, and critically acclaimed VHS action flicks.

...and rockin' HARD

Enjoy a uniquely composed fusion of authentic mariachi, rock and synthwave, explore artist-tailored graphic novel and connect all the dots in this thrilling desperado odyssey.

🌵 Good visuals and the levels are very challenging, I've played the first two and made a short vid here: https://youtu.be/2xVjp85GQ5E

Thanks a lot XxIndieGamerxX

I gotta say, that if you made it this far, it would be rewarding to try out the 3rd one, that's completely different in setting and provides more freedom in terms of rage breakouts :)

Round two! I really like that the focus has shifted onto stealth, it works really well with the given mechanics! Though I definitely should have focused more on that than offense in the latter section, it was still fun to try to go in guns blazing! And the platforming challenges are definitely more well balanced than last time around!

Thanks a ton for the thorough overview!
Your focus hunch is actually impeccable. 

We tried to present both sides of a no-hero in the demo and stoked it worked just right!

do you have discord or something? id be glad to help you!

Hi Maximus! I appreciate that!

There's no discord channel so far, but I'll manage that after next demo update.

Awesome start! I do think some of the instant death traps are a little hard to make out against the background, and some of the mechanics are tutorialized in areas where it's damn easy to die. But overall I did have a pretty good time with it despite my huge number of deaths...

Thanks a ton for the review and notes!
The tutorial will be done in the very end to cover all mechanics better, for now it's just a glimpse. You are right, there are few not obvious death traps, it will be reconsidered.

This demo is fun, I can't wait to see where the road will take Kaktus. :)
