Waitttt. this is no longer just a boss rush mode??
How good is the platforming? What percentage of the game is platforming and boss fights? I cant imagine the platforming is anything but average if they added it in so late
I just started playing this and it is so good.
To have fun with it, one must accept death as a matter of fact and even as a necessity. I tend to be frustrated by this, but with no penalty for death other than trying again, I have let go and embraced the frantic jumping and shooting.
This is so good.
There are no racial stereotypes in Cuphead.Growing up, I would watch the old Superman and Gulliver's Travels cartoons put out by Max Fleischer, from which the cuphead animation seems to be inspired by. How does the game deal w/ the racial over-tones that were a big part of those old cartoons? Is it an issue at all? I haven't played cuphead yet, as I have a PS4 and a mac, otherwise I would explore.

Thanks for the info. I never meant to imply that cuphead or the developers are racist, only that some cartoons of the 30s were. I'm not sure I know enough about the game to decide if the aforementioned article has merit.There are no racial stereotypes in Cuphead.
As for the article, I don't agree with some of it, but I can tell you that neither Cuphead or the developers are racist.
I didn't mean to accuse you, but you can't really expect any game made today to have any of the racial stereotypes found in those old cartoons.Thanks for the info.

The animation does look beautiful. I've never seen anything like it in a game.

How hard is the third island compared to the first two? Have managed to A rank everything and get all coins so far on the first two.
Some of the bosses are so creative and each seems to have its own strategy that works best.
Some? :P
Honestly, this game blew me away with it's awesomeness. The gameplay, art-style, animations, music, level design and etc. Such a good game and I'm happy for it's success.
I'm stuck in my last two bosses for the expert run: Hilda Berg and Wally Warbles. I had no trouble with Dr Kahl and the other plane bosses but these are impossible for me.
Just unlocked Pacifist. 3 trophies left:
1. Beat King Dice without getting hit
2. Clear the game on Expert
3. Beat a boss with only the bi-plane
Probably most worried about #1. Seems like it's going to take a ton of practice...
I've been working through s ranking everything; just started the third island last night, and Hilda Berg has without a doubt been the hardest. Every other boss has taken like an hour at most to s rank, but that one took me two consecutive evenings. The most helpful tip I can give is that the pink bullets shot from the mini blimps aren't random, and once I had which ones would be pink down to a science it really helped in terms of when and when not to use my super

1 isn't too bad. The easier bosses are #2, #5, and #8. They're pretty easy to no-hit.
