Holiday Cactus
Holiday Cactus: A relaxing, plant-friendly gardening game.
(Note: Mobile support is experimental.)
Controls
- Arrows / WASD - Move and control menus
- Mouse - Select from menus
- Enter / Space / Left Click- Confirm menu option, and interact with things
- Backspace / Right Click - Cancel option, close menu, or open inventory menu
How to play:
- Don't worry - this is a chill game, you and your plants will be okay, and the game auto-saves whenever it fades to black.
- Scavenge and fetch water to get resources (examine the arrow sign).
- Empathize with your plants to learn what they need.
- Water them and put up shades if they get too much sun. Keep the sun and water gauges around the mid-point.
- If they're healthy and fully grown, they may drop ethically sourced fruits.
- Rehome the seeds from the fruits. If you rehome enough, new plants might show up.

oh. oh I *love* this.
11/10 I think I'm gonna end up playing a lot of this :)
is there anyway to support you, btw? like a tip jar or anything?
I really appreciate the sentiment - I’m touched! But I’m quite comfortable. If you spend that money on another small dev that needs it more, I’ll be happy ^^
The best thing you could do to support me directly is just share the game on to someone else you think would like it. Really glad you loved it 😭😭😭
Fair enough! Will do :)
I’m so glad! That’s great to hear 😭 I had so much fun making it, and it means a lot to me. I hope you feel just a little closer to the plants in your life now 🙏 treasure those little green friends.
