Game of the week: Assault Android Cactus

Assault Android Cactus is a fast paced arcade style twin stick shooter. In Assault Android Cactus, players must battle waves of enemies and giant robots while avoiding having their battery fully drain. (You are androids, after all!) Players can select between nine playable androids, each of which has a distinct set of abilities that require a different play style. Assault Android Cactus supports both single player and local-player co-op modes.

AssaultAndroidCactus

Assault Android Cactus was created by Witch Beam Games using Unity, JavaScript and C#. It is currently available on Windows, Mac, Linux, Wii U and PlayStation 4. More information can be found on their Made with Unity page.
