Cactorio! by AploveStudio

[raw]

After accidentally burning down the Cactus Dimension because he left the stove on, Pablo the Cactus Farmer is forced to move into a new world to rebuild his empire with nothing but a cool hat and an affinity for prickly plants.

In Cactorio, the long-awaited sequel to the hit game Cactus Farmer, you can farm, build, explore, and fight your way to become the universe's greatest cacti tycoon. After collecting enough cactus seeds, you can automate farming using Cactech, which was developed by Pablo after receiving a master's degree in agricultural engineering. But watch out, desert savages are always combing the desert and are ready to destroy everything you've worked for, so be prepared!

Pretty complete package for a jam game. Wish there were different things to pick up and combine though.

@shinmera Thanks! If I ever continue to work on the game, I will definitely add more items to farm :)

Wow! I can't believe you haven't gotten more ratings. A fun small game for sure. The debug and hell mode features are a lot of fun to mess around with.

Zooming out would be a nice feature.

Well done!

I ended getting something like 30 cacti per tick. This game is good.

I could play this for sooo long :) Great job! Bit sad it is not longer, but given the time you had. Amazing entry! Thanks a lot

This game is criminally underrated! Holy...I had no idea I wanted Factorio with nothing but cactuses, but now I do!...and it works, belts, collectors, turrets. Even the details that are usually not as good in ld games such as sounds and music are very well placed!

This game really deserves an updated post-jam version.
