Description
Cucumber is the greatest Aardvark Superhero who has ever lived, and when a series of old enemies and new adversaries attempt to take over the world using the powers of magic, science and capitalism, it's up to him to climb to the top of six elaborate towers and defeat the forces of evil. Complete dozens of increasingly difficult platforming levels and overcome a series of unique boss battles. After your initial playthrough, perfect your path through each world on hardcore mode and keep an eye out for secrets that may become accessible as Cucumber gains exciting new abilities!
History
ConceptSuper Cucumber sprung from our shared love of fighting games and classic 2D platformers. We want to channel the fun of nailing a series of well-timed button presses through sequences of precision platforming that has a relatively low skill floor, but an incredibly high skill ceiling. Over time the game has evolved into a speedrun friendly adventure filled with devious jumping puzzles, generous checkpoints, optional punishing challenges and a few secrets along the way...
Ongoing DevelopmentSuper Cucumber started as a part time project in 2014 that was put on hiatus in early 2019 to focus on completing our other game, Down the Drain. Production on Super Cucumber resumed in 2023 and is now expected to release sometime in the second half of 2026.

Selected Articles
- "Super Cucumber is an interesting little megaman-like platformer with a cute protagonist.
The nods to the classics are obvious: fireball attack, rapid firing, dashes, air dashes, wall
jumping, and so on. The amount of combinations for the dash/jump between ground, air,
and resetting in air, was quite impressive. Overall the possibilities with the platforming felt
like there could be some nice parkour style gameplay there."
