Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional cel animation (hand drawn & hand inked!), watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings. Play as Cuphead or Mugman (in single player or co-op) as you traverse strange worlds, acquire new weapons, learn powerful super moves, and discover hidden secrets. Cuphead is all action, all the time.

Some of the games that influenced our design choices are: Gunstar Heroes (Seven Force!), Contra III, Contra Hard Corps, Super Mario World, the Thunderforce series and Street Fighter III.

Just got released on Steam, and the package with the soundtrack is on discount for the next couple of hours.

I ALMOST bought it. I am still thinking about it. I would like some report that it is playble with an arcade stick. Then again I could just get it and refund.

DAMN this game looks good. And sounds good too.

I was just about to make a thread in the Online forum, when I noticed it is local co-op only... What a pity.

Bought it with the soundtrack, and will be streaming later. It also inspired me to restart review-posting on the frontpage. I've been working non-stop on PA for so long I forgot other games existed, and this game brought me back.
