Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings.
Core rules that apply to all Cuphead runs:
- Runs must be completed in a single segment.
- HUD Elements should be visible throughout the run.
- For Full Runs, runs must show a new file being created in File Select.
- For Expert Runs, the Expert Glitch is allowed.
- Pause buffering is allowed.
- Switching difficulties during the run is not allowed.
For detailed category rules, challenges, restrictions, and glitch policies, see the Rules tab.
