CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

The goal of this terrific little game is to break all the bricks to stop the invading monkeys, but the gameplay differs from other variations on the Breakout theme. Rather than bouncing a ball up and down, Cactus Bruce and the Corporate Monkeys uses a grappling hook to grab and throw any of the multitude of objects on the board. Each item has a different effect, and progressing through the increasingly difficult levels wins friends such as Marvin the Explosive Snowman or Petey the Pigeon, whom you can use to perform powerful attacks. The amusing story line and easy-to-learn gameplay contribute to an excellent experience that offers a good amount of free content and leaves us wanting even more.

The demo offers 14 levels from the campaign mode and three challenges, wherein you try to clear the board as quickly as possible. You can play the campaign on three levels of difficulty, and the three challenges also vary in rigorousness. The demo also offers a timed mode called Tick Tock if you're looking to race the clock. Most gamers will finish the demo quickly on the Easy setting, so for more extreme monkey chaos, crank up the difficulty. We highly recommend Cactus Bruce and the Corporate Monkeys, which is simple to learn and a blast to play.

Publisher's description

You play as the Pirate Cactus who controls a grappling claw machine. The claw can grab almost any item in the game, which creates a very dynamic environment. The cast of comical friends (such as Marvin the Explosive Snowman) and the humorous story line energize the gameplay. In addition, Cactus Bruce and the Corporate Monkeys features memorable music, immersive graphics, a wacky minigame, five varied game modes, and more than 100 levels.

Version 2.2 upgrades the tutorial and level editor, adds in-game hints, and an option to switch between players.
