About Cuphead

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.

Portal wins on elegance, this wins on nerve. Different muscles entirely, but if I had to pick one to replay tonight, I'd still grab the mug over the cube any…

Every duel it wins by sheer style points, and I get it, the animation is stunning, but I keep thinking the boss gauntlet format ages worse than people admit once the novelty of the visuals wears off a bit.

Il le mérite.

Trop dur pour ce que ça raconte, franchement.

Je trouve pas ça vide comme scénario, mais surtout c'est le style visuel qui justifie sa place, pas l'histoire.

Lo jugamos en pareja los findes, cada uno con su taza, y aunque cuesta se ríe uno mismo de los fallos.

Lo jugué durante unas vacaciones tranquilas (con mi pareja mirando y riéndose de mis intentos) y la frustración pesó más que el resto.

The frustration is real but that's kind of the point, the challenge gives the wins actual weight.
