Hot Tamale

Can you the pinata collect all the stuffers before being exploded by the hot tamales?  Can you collect your stuff (tacos, maracas, cactuses, and yes, Mexican beer to name a few) and earn bonus points based on a timer?  Can you survive the Day of the Dead?

Find out in this increasingly fast-paced 2D platform game akin to a Mexican version of Donkey Kong!  There are ladders and platforms for the pinata to jump on, but there is also a wraparound effect in which all the characters including the pinata can conveniently go off one side of the screen and re-appear on the other side.

Instead of hammers, the pinata is equipped with cilantro which it can throw at a hot tamale to temporarily "cool it down" during which it can move over it without losing health.  This is helpful because once health goes down to 0 it's "adios muchachos"!

Meanwhile, senor and senorita casually and randomly make their way around the scene.  Once they get in close enough contact with each other, however, whoa the fiesta turns more like a dark siesta in which they both turn to Day of the Dead versions and move faster!  There is nothing the pinata can do except hope it can collect all its stuff before being exploded directly by Dead Senor or Senorita because they are immune to cilantro!

Better to save your cilantro (limited by your score directly) anyway for the faster rounds.  Explode 5 times, and it's game over!
