I know for sure that this game existed, and is not a false memory. Because when I was younger (when I first played it) I drew stick figures based on the game. I wont be posting any of the pictures because they also have personal stuff around them, and I don’t think doxing myself would be a good idea. And they wont help much in searching for the game anyway. Outside of proving this game once existed like I said before, these stick character drawings lack any details that would be useful. The only detail that might be useful is the 5th image might have a fire alarm related to it some how.
My best lead so far is The Adventures of Captain Comic. There is a space level that seems similar to what I remember. But this doesn't explain the cactus, or moving platform. It's possible I played Captain Comic, and another game that was similar. I remember the moving platform, and cactus in particular because these obstacles were hard to pass as a kid who didn't know what they were doing. So even if I did play Captain Comic that still doesn't explain what game(s) the that cactus was in, or what that town menu screen is from.
