The third chest is in the left area of the level under the long wooden floor. The only way I found to get the third chest may not be what the developer intended, but it worked. This will open the barrier to the chest, which you get to by descending, picking up the second box, jumping up onto the arrow building using the first one, then using the second box to get up onto the roof of that higher building and finally opening that darned locked-up-tight chest! A platform and a ladder will give you access to a second switchplate. Go right back to your other steel box and use the second box to access the roof of a building to the right of the one with an arrow. Pick it up and go left to drop down to the Hobo Clown gang rumble arena. Activate the switchplate there then keep going left to discover another steel box. Jump up on an adobe building, then keep going left using a series of ropes to get up into a cavern. Drop it next to the building with a wooden right arrow on it. Resist your urge to destroy it for potential loot and instead pick it up and carry it to the right. Once you've killed the Hobo gang at the end of the level, a steel box will drop. Whether you were addicted to the first, or this is your introduction to the series, Cactus McCoy 2 will prove an ol' west showdown that's bursting with the new. To give you a taste, they include such things as "Take out Alpaca Jack with his own Revolver", "Kill 20 enemigos with a moving mine cart" and "Eat 10 piranhas with your chainsaw alligator". Best of all, the hidden treasures and achievements that were the highlight of the original are back and more varied than ever. Nice new touches include the arsenal, which allows you to purchase and equip whatever weapon you prefer at the start of the level, rather than waiting for an enemy to drop it, and the health-refilling checkpoints now sprinkled throughout. There are a host of new weapons to find, each with it's own particular style of use, there are a ton of new baddies to fight, all highly punchable, and the new levels to explore are large, detailed and fit in perfectly with the series' demented presentation of the old west. In this case the expansion comes mainly in gameplay mechanics. Defeating Enemigos gives you coins to collect, and with them, you can purchase upgrades between each level.Ĭactus McCoy 2 is the best kind of sequel: one that expands and refines the original without sacrificing what made it great. A new element is the barrel rockets, which take you on a speedy rock blasting ride and are controlled (barely) by either the or arrow keys depending on which way it faces. There are various types of weapons: punching ones, throwing ones, swinging ones, whipping ones, thrusting ones, and shooting ones. Likewise, you can pick up boxes and other large objects with and either place them by hitting again, or chucking it with the key. To pick up a weapon, you crouch over it with the key, and can aim it around by holding the key along with and for a diagonal shot. makes you jump onto platforms and ladders and makes you attack, either with your fists or any of the dozens of weapons you'll come across. A worthy sequel to the original Cactus McCoy released in March, Flipline Studios' Cactus McCoy 2: The Ruins of Calavera will steal as many hours of action- platforming as the first one did, pardner.Ĭontrols are nearly the same as the original: The keys move you left and right.
