Is it weird to wish you had ovaries so that you could have this man’s babies?

Holy shit, I remember the gameboy one! I was really interested in it, and I still think about it every once in a while. Also, seeing that new Mondo game makes me sad.

I saw an Aquaria sequel in there!

(and a Metal Slug sequel too.)

The rest, I’m not cool enough to draw parallels with.

Insect Invade 3 totally reminds me of Retarded Goat Hunter.. so good!

And that last one has shades of Bastard Operator From Hell, what with the particles bouncing off of walls and stuff.. hooray!!

i’m not really a cactus’ games fan, but i must say that i really admire his determination and the unique style he fill his games with.
Also, his products are slowly becoming more polished than ever, and that’s good.

The last game reminds me of the old but very good Assault Trooper http://www.dosgamesonline.com/index/game/25/Assault_Trooper.html

omg its all so awesome LOOK AT THAT FREAKIN PARALLAX

if i ever get a time machine i will send mr soderstrom back in time (against his will if need be) to develop a better future for us all.

i bet he could make buddah cry with just a single pixel and a square wave.

Many of these games. Look… MERVELLOUS.

Tell us, Cactus, what are the odds of any of these seeing distribution? Because, really. Delicious.

cactus

I wanna finish all of these but I can’t say for sure. I’ll probably release about half of ’em at some point.

I liked, also, the diving game and the insect invaders.
