Cuphead [with Milk] The game itself is a tough boss fight game with platforming sections. For those less gaming savvy, think big fights that require a ton of precision and practice to beat. In short, it is a very, very hard game to best. Quite a few Reddit users have shared their opinions about playing the game, and most of the comments have been positive. Like user armandsaccurro saying, “The game got a good amount of attention. I've played the demo at last year's Gamescom, it's gonna be sweet!” However, user XZYOE didn’t share the same sentiment and, like a few others, was left disappointed after finding out Cuphead was initially only going to feature boss fights. “It looks really cool but I'm not too sure how I feel about it being just a boss rush. If it had more classic platformer elements and levels I would be more excited.” This is one of the main reasons why people have heard or seen so little about Cuphead since its E3 2015 showing.

Evolving from there to fully scrolling levels was just the next step.” McCrae, Scott (July 4, 2022).

As a result of just how difficult it'd be to create a more substantial platformer, the idea to turn Cuphead into a 3D side-scroller instead was tossed around at StudioMDHR. But, it became apparent this wouldn’t be possible for a few reasons. We can't just move a hand up 30 pixels or squash a head down 10 pixels, the whole action has to be redrawn from scratch” Chad Moldenhauer
