Just a brilliant run and gun
The look and feel is early Disney color cartoons, the gameplay is almost Nintendo hard.

Cuphead
Description
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 hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings.
Play as Cuphead or Mugman (in single player or local co-op) as you traverse strange worlds, acquire new weapons, learn powerful super moves, and discover hidden secrets while you try to pay your debt back to the devil!

5/5 stars
A potent cocktail of authentic 1930s aesthetics, jazzy tunes, ingenious boss designs, and gameplay founded on the fundamentals inherent to the best 2D shooters. Cuphead sure is swell.

8.8/10
Cuphead made me feel more good and more bad than any other game I've played in the last several years. I swore, laughed, and hollered with delight. I hated it (and my own fingers) for long stretches but, having finished, I realise that's more or less the point – I emerged from all that pain smiling. Rather than simply offering the player what they want, Cuphead makes them earn that right – the rewards, if you can hack the tests, are absolutely worth it. Cuphead is incredible for more than just its looks. But before you dive in, make sure you actually want a game that plays like this, and not just a game that looks like this.

Yes
Do I need to say that this is a good game? That's all you need to know. Challenging, designed to try over and over if you're bad like me, and so on. Every level is a set piece based around one single thing, which I think makes it more compatible with the sort of "hard as nails" gameplay it wants to do. So yeah, I like.

Difficult but fun.
This game reminds me of Nintendo difficulty games. I have not beaten this game but I am in my 40s and am not as quick as I used to be.
