Cantaloper
Cantaloper is a very difficult platformer in which you use your legs to charge jumps and climb out of a deep pit. You'll play as a beautiful cantaloupe with human legs that must ascend out from the underground depths he finds himself in. There are no checkpoints; every fall will set you back based solely on how far you fall. Can you make it up two long levels? Will you elope?
I started Cantaloper collaboratively with my friend Eli during my senior year of high school. We released it for free on Steam during the summer of 2021. After that, I released a major update "The Ripening" to add a third level, clean up some of the rough edges, and add new miscellaneous features for those who had beaten the game. Cantaloper has received over 2000 downloads on Steam and remains available for free. I've also done some experiments on procedural Cantaloper level generation that some friends and I may revisit in the future, so stay tuned...
