Pondside
A pond-based puzzle game. Highly reccomended!
Hello!
I'm Leif Schaumann, a human. I'm interested in math, game development, and music, among other things! This website showcases some of the stuff I have worked on.
Currently I am working towards a PhD in mathematics at Cornell University. My research area will likely be in geometric group theory.
Pictured to the right is me at Ithaca Falls, and pictured below is my back yard.
Games
Here are some of the more complete games I have worked on over the years. They are mostly developed in Unity and hosted on Itch.io. Some of them have instructions in the game description on Itch, rather than inside the game itself. Enjoy!
Lab Escape
A fast paced puzzle/arcade hybrid inspired by Labyrinth.
Cellar Arsonist
Mischevious puzzle game and winner in the Cornell DGA 2025 October Game Jam!
Music
Work in progress! Check back later.
