Cuphead
Added 2025-09-01 16:22:04 +0000 UTCMan I can't believe Cuphead came out nearly 10 years ago! And the first time I did a mockup of it was 7 years ago.
Needless to say, thankfully come a decent way from then and with this demake it can boast, truly, finally, I did a sprite of Cuphead with 3 colours and not 4 colours. Haha!
What can be said about Cuphead that hasn't been said before, an absolute love letter to 1930's rubber hose animation and is just...it gud. It's just so good. The music, the charm, the soul, it's all there. There's something in the game that WILL be a reference and tickle your nostalgia bone, (for me it was Brineybeard making me remember watching Popeye vs Sinbad 22 times a week as a kid, ah good times).
Truly I was spoilt for choice, I opted out from doing one of the run n' gun stages and like I think many associate with Cuphead, it really is about the bosses. As such I went with Grim Matchstick as, unsure if just a personal thing (though in the grand scheme most bosses COULD be anyone's wall/hurdle) Grim was mine for a while.
And as for what other boss, I knew I had to do the gunner/shooter type bosses and Cala maria's design is just, so good. The medusa turn is just the cherry stone atop the concrete cake.
As always hope you enjoy the demake, and I'm looking forward to Castle Crashin'!
