Granny Pills: Defend Cactuses

Granny Pills: Defend Cactuses puts an old woman with a shotgun and an endless supply of human pills between a wave of aliens and the last cactuses on Earth. The pills work because the aliens are afraid of them - throw one at close range and it does the job the shotgun can't always reach in time.

The cactuses grow in a row along the road, out in the open where they catch the light they need, which also means they catch every alien headed toward them. Aiming takes a beat to charge, so holding your throw a little longer to line up a shot on a faster target is often worth the risk of letting one get closer than feels safe.

How to play

Hold the left mouse button to aim a pill, and release it to throw at an approaching alien. Right-click to switch to your next pill type when one stops working on a target. Keep aliens from reaching the cactuses lined up along the road - each one that gets through puts your plants closer to being destroyed or stolen. Watch multiple directions at once, since aliens can approach from more than one side.
