Cuphead is a 2017 run and gun video game developed and published by Studio MDHR. The game was inspired by the rubber hose style of animation used in cartoons of the 1930s, such as the work of Fleischer Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios, and sought to emulate their subversive and surrealist qualities.
On the fictional Inkwell Isles, Cuphead and his brother, Mugman, are two fun-loving cups who live under the watchful eye of Elder Kettle. Against the elder's warnings, the brothers enter the Devil's Casino and begin playing craps. When they go on a winning streak, the Devil himself offers to raise the stakes. If Cuphead and Mugman can win one more roll, they will receive all the money in the casino; if not, the Devil will take their souls. Cuphead loses by rolling snake eyes, and he and Mugman beg for mercy. The Devil makes a deal with them: If the two can collect a "soul contract" from each of his runaway soul debtors by midnight the next day, he might let them keep theirs. They visit Elder Kettle, who gives them a potion that allows them to fire blasts from their fingers to aid in their quest, but also warns them that the debtors may change physical form in an effort to stop them. The brothers travel around the Inkwell Isles, fighting the debtors in order to obtain their contracts.
Cuphead features one or two players taking control of animated characters Cuphead and his brother Mugman to fight through several levels, that culminate in boss fights, in order to repay their debt to the devil. The game was praised for its art style and noted for its challenging difficulty. It was both a critical and commercial success, winning several awards and selling over six million copies within three years. An animated series based on the game is in production by Netflix.
Cuphead's gameplay is centered around continual boss fights, interspersed with run-and-gun levels. Additionally, all but the final level include a mausoleum where the player has to parry ghosts before they touch an urn, rewarding the player with a Super move if completed. Each of these boss fights and run-and-gun levels is housed in one of four different worlds, with the fourth world containing the final fight against the Devil himself. Each boss fight includes a simple, normal and expert difficulty mode (with the exception of the final two, which lack a simple mode); defeating every boss on normal mode is required to complete the game, while expert mode is unlocked upon completion. While most bosses take place on land, several bosses instead are fought in aeroplanes in levels which play like side-scrolling Shoot 'em ups. The game also includes role-playing elements and a branching level sequence. Player characters have infinite lives, maintaining all equipment between deaths. Equippable weapons and special abilities known as Charms can be purchased from the shop using coins. Player characters feature a parry attack that can be used on certain objects marked in pink, to various effects, the most important of them being increasing a "super meter" that enables more powerful attacks. The super meter is represented by playing cards. The player can use an EX move with one playing card, with the move used depending on the weapon equipped.
After completing a level, the player is ranked with a grade based on their performance, based on factors such as the time taken to complete the level, damage avoided, and number of parried attacks. The levels are accessible through a top-down perspective overworld with its own secret areas. The game also has a two-player local cooperative mode.
