Cuphead is a run-and-gun action game focused primarily on boss battles. Its visual style is modeled after 1930s cartoons, using traditional hand-drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings. Players control Cuphead or Mugman in single-player or local co-op, traversing themed worlds, acquiring new weapons, and unlocking super moves. The game includes both boss encounters and side-scrolling platforming stages.

9/10 - The best middle-ground of style and substance. A cartoon look that feels like a game, and a game that feels like playing a cartoon. Pure endurance-focused levels that tests everything you know just right.

Just got a new contract from that bouncing blue ball! I'm starting to think I'm improving my reflexes and hand-eye coordination skills. Lol.

I enjoyed what I got to play and I think both ost and graphics were just perfectly made, but it's just not for me, I just kept on getting defeated :p

Bashed beelzeboss on expert. 6/5 aesthetics, 4/5 run 'n' gun boss battles. Still pretty special. Decent challenge.

Alright, so playing through the first boss where you're in an airplane took me like 30 tries. That wasn't as fun. Maybe I'm old and slow. Maybe I had a beer or two this afternoon. Who's to say?

I only had about 20 minutes of free time last night, but I fired this up anyway. It took me a dozen tries to finish a two minute level last night. It was awesome. I hope it remains just as fun.

Based on everything I’ve heard about this game, it sounds perfect for me. Challenging, short, and beautiful. Might need to try it this weekend.

Little masterpiece in the platformer genre.
