Bir fincan kahve, bir çöl ve aradan geçmen gereken bir sürü kaktüs. Cactus Jump tek parmakla oynanan, öğrenmesi bir saniye süren ama bırakması zor bir refleks oyunu. Ekrana her dokunuşunda kahven biraz yükseliyor; dokunmayı kestiğinde düşüyor. Tek yapman gereken kaktüslerin arasından geçmek. • Tek dokunuşla oyna — başka tuş yok • Her geçtiğin kaktüsle biraz daha hızlanıyor, boşluklar biraz daha daralıyor • Rekorun cihazında saklanıyor • Reklam yok, uygulama içi satın alma yok, hesap açma yok • İnternet bağlantısı gerekmiyor • Hiçbir veri toplanmıyor Cactus Cafes'in sıcak renkleriyle çizilmiş, tamamen çevrimdışı çalışan küçük bir çöl molası.
