Cuphead is a run and gun indie video game developed and published by StudioMDHR. It 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.

The game was well received by critics, with particular praise for its art style and gameplay. Critics generally found the game to be difficult, but fair.
