Living cacti serve as your controller in this stealth-racing game for two players. Touch a cactus to give your character a jolt in the right direction, but watch out for juice-slurping bugs that will hunt you down and make you wilt! While touching the cactus flesh will move your character, the spines will only hurt your hands and leave you vulnerable to the enemies that you have failed to escape. Created using a MakeyMakey and eight succulents, Sneaky Cactus’ controller is an innovative use of punishment and reward in gameplay.
