CupHead Mugman

Leap across collapsing platforms, parry pink bullets, and blast your way through a hand-drawn cartoon hell to break a Devil's bargain.

CupHead Mugman drops you into a 1930s cartoon that's trying to murder you. You play as Cuphead (or Mugman, if your sibling/roommate calls dibs) after a bet with the Devil goes sideways. The remedy: shoot through waves of bosses, collect their soul contracts, and avoid becoming permanent residents of the inkwell. It plays like a run-and-gun platformer — but the platforming mostly exists to get you to the next boss arena, and those bosses are the real main course. Controls are simple but ruthless: run, jump, dash, shoot. You can aim in eight directions, which sounds generous until a giant cigar-smoking frog splits into two and you're dodging homing fireballs from both sides. Parry is the game changer — jump into pink-tinted projectiles or objects, not only to survive but to build your super meter. I kept eating it on the same jump because I forgot you can duck. Ducking is not optional. Two-player co-op lets a friend revive you by slapping your ghost, and honestly, that's the real test of any relationship. The hand-drawn animation, the squash-and-stretch, the scratched film grain — it looks like a lost Fleischer short. But underneath the cheery pastels, there's a mean streak: bosses have multiple phases, screen-filling attacks, and zero chill. You'll learn attack patterns like song lyrics, die, respawn, and try again with a rhythm that rewards patience over twitch. If you've played the original, this browser take captures the spirit. If you haven't, welcome to the debt.

Cuphead et Mugman sont deux frères qui ont fait un pari avec le Diable et ils ont perdu. Maintenant, ils doivent récupérer leur âme et pour cela ils doivent s’embarquer dans une croisade qui les mènera à de différents mondes et affronter des ennemis de to

Parry pink projectiles early and often — it fills your super meter faster than shooting alone. In co-op, stay close enough to revive your partner, but far enough that one boss attack doesn't wipe you both. Watch the boss's wind-up animation: they telegraph almost every attack, and that half-second is your cue to jump or dash. Switch weapons if a boss feels impossible — the spread shot shreds big hitboxes while the homing shots let you focus on dodging. Turn on sound if you can; audio cues often warn you a nasty attack is coming before the animation lands.
