About Saguaro
It is a short arcade game built around one idea: keeping your cactus's gear on.
Your cactus starts out wearing its gear, and every balloon that hits you knocks off one of those items. The glowing maracas scattered along the path are how you win lost gear back.

That gives the game a small trade-off. Sometimes letting a balloon take one item opens a route to more maracas than you lost. Because of that, you need to read the path ahead rather than just reacting to the balloon right in front of you.
Key features
- You play as a fast-moving cactus that carries its gear with it.
- Each balloon hit costs you one item.
- Glowing maracas along the path bring lost gear back.
- Giving up an item on purpose can sometimes pay off with more maracas.
Tips & tricks
- Look further up the path so you can line up maracas before you reach them.
- If a group of maracas sits behind a balloon, it can be worth taking the hit to collect them all.
- After losing an item, go after the nearest maracas to get it back before the next balloon arrives.
