When a routine treasure hunt goes awry, McCoy is transformed into a walking cactus by the ancient Curse of Thorns. McCoy’s mission is to return the Thorned Emerald to its true home. If he fails, the curse will continue until he is a lifeless, stone cactus.

Run, jump, and punch your way through an army of Enemigos sent by the monstrous Hex Hatfield.

As you travel, you will uncover missing map pieces that will guide you to the source of the curse. Master the art of “Enemigo Juggling” to steal their weapons and money. You can then use your spoils to upgrade all your different fighting stats.
