About

Cantaloper is a single player platformer game. It was developed by IDislikeNames and was released on June 24, 2021. It received positive reviews from players.

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?
