WAUSAU, Wis. - TelAve -- Former Doom developer Chris Cantero announces the Kickstarter launch for High Fructose, an indie game featuring first-person ninja action and stunning visuals.

High Fructose is a first-person arena shooter with delicious roguelite elements. Players become ninja animals or creatures, wielding up to six weapons to slay monstrous fruit. The game offers dynamic first-person gameplay and a beautifully crafted world.

"After my work on Doom, I wanted to merge fast-paced Doom action with ninja combat," said Chris Cantero, creator of High Fructose and founder of Chazak Games. "Players will experience the adrenaline rush of a first-person shooter while mastering various weapons to defeat waves of enemies."

Developed mostly by Chris Cantero as a solo project, High Fructose benefits from his extensive experience on major titles such as Transformers, Deadpool, Call of Duty, Doom Eternal, and at Unity Technologies. Chris has also contributed to blockbuster movies, including the Planet of the Apes series and The Hunger Games series. He has hired several world-class artists to assist with the game's development.

After Unity laid off 25% of its workforce, including Chris's department, he took the opportunity to go indie, founding Chazak Games. Now, he seeks support from the community to launch his indie game studio and bring High Fructose to life.

The Kickstarter campaign aims to finalize development, including enhanced graphics, additional levels, adding more characters, creating more weapons, and hiring artists to enhance the game. Backers will receive rewards such as early access, special in-game items, and beta testing opportunities.

Key Features of High Fructose:
First-Person Ninja Action: Fast-paced combat and fluid ninja movement.
