Product Information

The gameplay's frame rate is 60 frames per second, while the animation runs at 24 per second, which is the standard in American film. They planned multiple difficulty levels and chose to abandon a typical damsel in distress plot for one where Cuphead perpetually creates trouble for himself. To this end, he has captured the soul of one protagonist (who may be any character not in play upon reaching the bakery) and decides to dispatch the other two to continue his scheme. If the players decide to give the Devil the soul contracts, Cuphead and Mugman become his personal lackeys and are turned into demonic cups, resulting in the "bad" ending. The developers planned to surpass the Guinness World Record for number of boss battles in a run-and-gun game by having more than 30, compared to the record's 25 in Alien Soldier.

Three Super Arts are available, one in each of the first three worlds; to earn each one, the player must enter a mausoleum and parry a horde of ghosts to stop them from reaching an urn at the center of the screen. Though the game was shown during the Xbox press event of Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014 to audience approval, it was not available to play and was estimated to be 40 percent complete. If they refuse, the Devil becomes furious at the brothers for not upholding their end of the bargain and attacks them. Maja Moldenhauer further stated that all they wanted from the Fleischers was the animation style and visuals, and are "not versed in" anything else happening in that era.An enhanced attack can be executed at the cost of one card, with its particular form determined by the currently equipped weapon.

Resurrection - When Cuphead dies, he can be resurrected when his heart, which is in the center of his spirit, is parried. Reminiscent of the 1930s aesthetics and Jazz Age, the game is noted for its animation and soundtrack: all in-game assets used hand-drawn animation with deliberate human imperfections, and the soundtrack was written for and recorded with a full jazz ensemble. However, the new content was pushed back into 2020 to avoid putting too much pressure and crunch time on the development team. Among other siblings in their Regina, Saskatchewan childhood home, the two shared an interest in video games. Super Bomb Transformation - As a Super Art, Cuphead can transform into a giant bomb that explodes either on impact or the if duration timer runs out.Made of porcelain: 3 hits can kill him (4 while equipped with the Heart Charm,5 while equipped with the Twin Heart Charm and 6 with the Heart Ring charm if Cuphead gets all 6 parries before getting hit). Despite his flaws, however, he seems to be kind-hearted and has good intentions overall, such as in the good ending where he and Mugman burn all the soul contracts, setting everyone free. Size Reduction - In his plane, he can shrink himself to be part of the plane, making it easier to dodge attacks and increases speed.

In Inkwell Isle, Cuphead, alongside his younger brother, Mugman, lived happy and carefree under the watch of the Elder Kettle. The game's creators, brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, took inspiration from the rubber hose style of the golden age of American animation and the surrealist qualities of works of Walt Disney Animation Studios, Fleischer Studios, Warner Bros. When the Devil came to the table, (which was a surprise for the boys) he offered a bet: if the boys won, they would get all the loot in the casino, but if they lost, the Devil would take their souls. After some training, Cuphead and Mugman went to go to collect the soul contracts, using their powers to battle bosses, run through levels, and save the Legendary Chalice.Can't be resurrected without the help of Mugman (likewise, Mugman can't be resurrected without Cuphead). A port of Cuphead for macOS was released on October 19, 2018, and advertised with an animated short titled Crisp Apples.

Although his confidence and drive for adventure can lead him to appear reckless or get him into trouble, at his core, he is a kind-hearted soul who wants to do good—but has the tendency to leap before he looks. In Game Informer 's Reader's Choice Best of 2017 Awards, the game won the "Best Microsoft Game" and "Best Co-op Multiplayer" categories, and got third place for "Best Action Game".Cuphead and Mugman begged for their lives, and so the Devil sent them on a mission to collect his debtors' soul contracts by midnight, saying he would consider sparing them. Most boss battles take place on land, although some involve player characters piloting aeroplanes and play like a side-scrolling shoot 'em up. Based on "exhaustive" pattern recognition, he said it ultimately relied on muscle memory, rather than reaction.
