    Cuphead is a classic "shoot and run" style action game that focuses on fighting the boss. Inspired by the 1930s cartoons, the visual and sound aspects are carefully designed using the same techniques of the time, that is, traditional hand-drawn animation, watercolor backgrounds and original jazz recordings.

    This is an independent video game belonging to the Platforms genre developed by Canadian brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer and produced by StudiomDHR Entertainment.

    In the game, the protagonist Cuphead and his friend Mugman must defeat several creatures in order to pay off a debt that they have pending with the devil.

  • Source of inspiration of the main character.

    Cuphead is inspired by a character appearing in the Japanese animation called "Evil Mickey attacks Japan - in the year 1936"

    Six years before Pearl Harbor, Mickey Mouse was the perfect target to engage the Japanese army with the American threat. It is logical to have created a propaganda film with the most famous cartoon of the USA, and for that reason in 1936 Mickey can be seen invading Japan like a Führer.

    We have already seen thousands of advertisements where characters from Animation are used to silence people, in The Simpsons were used to Scratch and Pica fighting against Hitler for example. This Mickey movie appears about six years before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The struggle for control of the South Pacific and East Asia between the Japanese and the Americans was as commonplace as cartoons on television.
