Overview

Cantaloper is a brutally difficult indie platformer that challenges players with intentionally awkward controls. You'll step into the peel of a rather anthropomorphic cantaloupe, complete with human legs, tasked with escaping a deep underground pit. The journey is a long one, with no checkpoints to ease your descent back to the bottom should you falter. Every mistake is a lesson learned the hard way, as falling too far means starting over from a much lower point.
