The protagonists of Cuphead are siblings Cuphead and Mugman. The titular characters must collect "soul contracts" from various bosses to save their own souls from the devil.
Upon losing all of their health, the player is given the option to continue from a checkpoint; if they lose all their health again or die during the boss battle, they must start from the beginning of the fight.
Along with soul contracts, players can also find bonus coins that can be spent at casinos run by "The Devil" himself; these rewards include useful items such as extra lives.
Cuphead was developed by brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer on their home computer.
The game's visuals are heavily inspired by 1930s cartoons, particularly those produced by Fleischer Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios; Fleischer's Betty Boop character served as one of the primary inspirations for Cuphead's design.
The Molderhauers spent significant time studying animated films from this era to replicate the look and feel of traditional hand-drawn animation.
In addition to featuring hand-drawn animations created using traditional techniques such as ink rubs and paint-on-glass, the game also uses rotoscoping, a process in which animators trace over live-action footage frame by frame to create realistic animations.
This process was used extensively throughout development to achieve the desired look for the game's characters and environments.
While most video games focus on letting the player win through fighting skill alone, Cuphead is designed to be difficult, with simple enemies becoming much more dangerous later.
Inspired by early 20th-century "rubber hose" animation to games known for their high degrees of challenge, the Moldenhauers wanted players to feel a sense of accomplishment after defeating one of Cuphead's difficult bosses.
While some criticized Cuphead for its high difficulty level, others saw it as part of the game's charm and a callback to earlier times when video games were known for being challenging.
Whatever people's opinion on its difficulty may be, there's no denying that Cuphead is a unique video game experience unlike any other titles currently on the market.
