The word "cactus" is Australian slang for something being broken. Getting people excited would prove difficult in the early days, even the name is hard to parse. It’s a fun game, well-designed and colorful, but it’s being released into a crowded marketplace. Fixing the piratesĪssault Android Cactus is a three-dimensional twin-stick shooter where you control a selection of female cyborgs who have to blow away every damned thing they see while the levels often shift and swell around them, and the music adjusting to the on-screen action. There may be only one solution: Provide the pirates with a better version of the game. So of course that’s the build of the game that leaked, and now they're stuck with a community of pirates who are spreading the word that the game is buggy, unfun and not worth the money.
Witch Beam software sent out an early build of their game Assault Android Cactus to a number of people in the press and gaming community, with the idea that people who knew how games were made would understand the problems that are inherent to an unfinished version of the game. The problem of how to introduce players to your game has become as tricky, if not more so, than the creation of the game itself.
