ABOUT THE GAME

Granny Pills: Defend Cactuses game overview

In 2075, cactuses are the remaining source of plant life and oxygen after an alien invasion. Granny defends the plants from the roadside, using pills that the invaders fear. A held aim determines the throw, and release sends the selected pill toward an approaching target. Different threats and pill choices make target order important as aliens advance toward the cactuses. The right mouse button cycles to the next pill before another throw. The defense continues while the plants remain protected; allowing the attackers to destroy or steal them defeats the purpose of the stand.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Before you start

Each wave presents several moving targets, demanding a quick decision about which alien threatens the cactuses first and which pill should be prepared for the next throw.

GETTING STARTED

How to play Granny Pills: Defend Cactuses

Hold the aiming input and track the leading alien rather than its current position alone. Release when the pill's path meets that movement.

Switch to the next pill when its use fits the approaching threat, then resume throwing. Recheck the leading target after every hit and keep every attacker away from the cactus line.

CONTROLS

Controls and device setup

Aim by pressing and holding the left mouse button, release to throw, and use the right mouse button for the next pill.

Tips for Granny Pills: Defend Cactuses

  1. Target the alien closest to a cactus before engaging a distant easy shot.
  2. Lead moving enemies slightly so the pill arrives where they are headed.
  3. Change pills between threats instead of during an urgent final approach.
