Cuphead
What is Cuphead?
Cuphead is a side-scrolling action game featuring a classic cartoon art style, developed by StudioMDHR. Each time Wally changes form, his attack patterns become increasingly unpredictable, forcing you to constantly observe and adapt.
Cuphead Gameplay
Constant Offense
Your goal is to deal as much damage as possible while staying alive. Maintain a steady rate of fire and keep moving to dodge attacks coming from multiple directions. Attack waves can quickly turn the screen chaotic; prioritize finding a safe spot before searching for opportunities to deal more damage.
Shrink To Navigate Tight Spaces
When maneuvering space becomes cramped, Shrink Mode allows Cuphead to shrink in size, making it easier to slip through dangerous gaps. This skill is especially useful when multiple hazards appear simultaneously. Using it at the right moment helps you avoid collisions and maintain a favorable position to keep attacking.
Unleash EX Energy
Successful Parries build up your EX meter, unlocking the ability to unleash powerful attacks. Once the meter is full, activate an EX move at the right moment to deal massive damage. Strategically combining Parries, standard shots, and EX moves will help you handle difficult phases more effectively.
Game Tips

- Use Shrink Mode when you need to navigate narrow gaps.
