A great time to pick up a copy—it really is so much fun to play with touch controls! #ontheappstore 📦📲

something I think is interesting about @witchbeam.com.au is we've always made our own trailers
for Assault Android Cactus we cut 8 different trailers (!!!) which is way too many
so I thought I'd do a thread celebrating our hubris! 🧵

10 years ago we released Assault Android Cactus on Steam (Windows, OSX, Linux)
Made with a core team of 3, it was our first title as a studio, self published and we would go on to port it to multiple consoles.
