You must take care of a cactus but beware, depending on what you give him, he might become a water or a fire cactus and behave differently ! The more your cactus lives, the more cactus fruits you get.

An attempt at making a game in C++/SFML in a short range of time, it is one of my first SFML games. Still requires some work on compatibility, if you have the last version of visual studio CE 2015, it should work.

I couldn't run it, getting the message MSVCP140.dll is missing, installing VC++ redistributable from online didn't seem to help.

Web version doesn't work actually !
Nice concept overall even if it would have been better seeing real shapeshifting on the cactus
I didn't manage to find what eat every cactus though ^^

There should be more feedback on clicking the buttons (sounds, lightning up when hovering over the buttons etc.). At first i didn't realize i was even doing anything until the cactus was almost dead. The cactus itself is kinda cute tough.

Didn't quite understand what I was supposed to be doing. Just click the buttons on the bottom left? Interesting concept at least. Needs-based games are an always fun to work on.

I don't really get it? I did manage to get some fruit, but he always loses health if I want to keep him clean, after having to feed him. Perhaps I'm too impatient? Clickety click

I'm not sure I understood how to play. The idea seems nice and the graphics are quite okay, congrats for your first game in c++

I ended up weirdly clicking buttons without knowing what to do.

Interesting concept, although I didn't really get what I was doing.
