Cuphead is a run and gun platform indie video game developed and published by StudioMDHR Entertainment. As the titular character Cuphead, the player fights a series of bosses in order to repay a debt to the devil. The game was heavily inspired by the works of 1930s cartoonists such as Max Fleischer's Fleischer Studios, and sought to keep the works' subversive and surrealist qualities.

There's so many amazing aspects to it, but the dead/retry screen quotes may be my favorite. There are so many.

Was on the fence but that might have just sold me.

Lots of style, great animations and the music *chefs kiss*. It's tricky as cute as it is and haven't tried co-op so can't tell if health of bosses scales up.
Which?
The only thing I think is actually impossible right now is A+ on the second Forest Run'n'Gun. I bolted to the end, doing nothing else, and still didn't get gold time.

I can't even get passed the tutorial.
that stupid bouncy blue motherfucker
also man fuck grades scores i'm ok with a d-
ah so you're a games journalist? :P
Yeah, I'm going to have to completely ignore the grading system, because it will be a great accomplishment for me to just beat this game one day. Failure has never looked so damn good before though.
i'd agree with that assessment, its difficult certainly but never feels punishing or unfair. definitely not as bad was i was expecting. still in the early game though, only tried a couple of bosses and the first platforming level though, so can't speak for the overall learning curve.
I'm just here sitting here, sad, waiting for my batteries to charge before I can play the game as intended.
This is what indie games should be fam, not deliberate lolz spritez,give me something novel for an old school shooter/platformer. And it syncs up perfectly with dat boi!
I guess my only problem is trying to get your mind to parry anything pink when you spend so much trying to not die.
The contra comparison is quite spot on. Sure it's not 1 hit kill, but contra had lives that let you start over in the stage right from where you died (until all gone of course), whereas cuphead has more than 1 hit and infinite continues, but has more happening on screen most of the time and you have to restart the whole stage/boss from the start when you die... so that is a wash to me pretty much.
But the presentation is excellent. I just need to get my oldschool shooter chops back since it's been so long since I've really played one that has been quite this challenging.
Omg stop fetishizing skill plz.
i was kidding. i honestly don't care whether someone is good at games or not, not even if they cover them professionally.
You can only parry pink things.
Parry the question marks.

Anyway, it works in everything except the menus? When I press "any button" to start the game it'll take me to the main menu and then my controller does nothing. I have to use the arrow keys.
I can walk around the world map but to actually visit a stage I have to press enter on my keyboard. Minor squabble but has anyone had this happen to them before?
That is the weapon you want. Super classy and powerful as long as you realize to turn around.
Other then that, this game is damn near fucking PERFECT! My only complaint is that I wish they didn't caved into all those people whining about it being strictly a boss rush game, because those run and guns levels are so few and far in between and nowhere as creative as the boss fights.
I could never figure out when he was doing a long bounce or a short one. I think there's an audio cue but I couldn't pick up on it.
Favorite boss so far is the plane one.
i am bad
I just completed the first World, took me about 2 hours. I only got one A+, lowest rating I got was C+, so I coulda done a bit better. The spread weapon is really good but short range. I feel like buying that early on helped quite a bit at taking down the bosses.
Oh and playing with a Switch Pro Controller makes it fun too
Nah, the game really is super hard.
But EVERYONE get that dang smokebomb and the game sort of turns into Bloodborne
Haha, I do love me some Metal Slug 3--and I'm glad it is balanced in a way arcade titles simply weren't. Plus 95% of my play of it would be on console, so check the box on on a real controller.
I don't have the same fondness for the art style that other people do (I think it is technically remarkable and praiseworthy, it just isn't something I personally like), so really the gameplay experience is what matters for me, and I've largely fallen out with platformers around the time I returned my original 3DS.
On the other hand, Inside has become my new benchmark for an amazing $10 to $20 platforming game experience (even though it is, obviously, a radically different game without a shooting aspect), especially after not being that impressed with Limbo. This might become my new Inside at this rate. I think I'm putting it on my wishlist just below Sonic Mania, simply because that one came out first and is a bit cheaper.
The moment I read 'invincibility frames' it was a no brainier. I'm surprised it's one of the first thing you can get.
The pond that tells you how many times you've died is a fun addition.
