Enchanted Portals - All Bosses + Ending

[@saquial]

Something that makes the bosses feel quite unalive is the fact that most of them do little to no noise, most boss fight have only the player sounds, music and the sounds of some attacks.

[@TheBunkyDude]

You mean the sfx?

[@saquial]

@@TheBunkyDude yeah, my bad.

[@garrylean9493]

Another thing is that the bosses' music doesn't loop. There's always a little second where their theme just stops before starting all over again. I noticed it at first with the cow boss fight but it's all throughout the game.

[@Place_Your_Order_Here]

Other than the fact that a few most just stay in place and loop the same animation?

[@chillbizz74]

at least some screaming sounds or voices and shooting sounds would give them life

[@stou472]

My only problem with the game is the lack of sound effects and boss fights.

[@neonoah3353]

For me its that, and the animation not being very fluid.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

I think what bugs me the most is the "punch sound effect" whenever the player gets hit.

[@estrum1647]

for me is the bosses standing there doing nothing, final boss didn't do anything.

[@mrcloudark787]

Also the lack of.. something, on screen. Cuphead avoided the problem of everything looking too still by adding the Old Visual Effect. The only place where I don't see that problem is at the final boss, which hqs a lot of movement in the background and is amazing. That's what was left on the rest.

[@PixelIsaiah]

​@@neonoah3353to be fair fluid animation is EXTREMELY time consuming. As a solo game developer, I typically have to make each animation have < 5 frames, just because how long it takes.

[@LokiThePug]

For those who don’t get the story, it’s somewhere amongst this Two wizard apprentices were cleaning one of many shelves, but in the middle of it they accidentally make a special tome fall, after that, being the tricksters (or just messing around) that they are, they start messing with the spells in the book, one of them being a portal that goes through worlds, but not being careful enough, the portal swallows them whole along with the cat that was with them and the book (idk if it’s even a tome but doesn’t matter) and so, with the tome on the loose (cuz it was alive somehow) it’s their job to return it back home, probably before their master returns, I don’t know really, it’s my interpretation of the things going on

Two people making this on a budget is awesome! The only problem is that it takes way too many ideas Cuphead had. Which sucks cause this game has potential. I take back what I said the gameplay was horrible.

[@Lukkak09]

I would personally disagree. It does look enough destinct from Cuphead in my opinion but it falls flat with the animations (I wasn't expecting Cuphead levels of animation but honestly looks really unpolished), the levels being annoying and also no save states. I am happy that the devs managed to make the game and it is quite impressive, but I think they should try to avoid some of the problems of the game next time they work on a project.

[@Mysticgamer]

This won't hurt cuphead, the game sold well, ported to the Switch, got a Netflix series, and the dlc. They should be flushed with enough cash to be started on a sequel by now.

[@lagartopunkarra]

@@Mysticgamer It doesn't hurt Cuphead, but it's hurting itself by looking so much like Cuphead

[@soulplayrt463]

Piss off, stop harping on it for being the same genre geeze

[@Mysticgamer]

@elecdeathblade They most likely made it look like Cuphead for the controversy. They were probably worried it wouldn't get enough attention from the players who usually snub indie titles. If this didn't look like cuphead, it would have played 10 seconds on a nindie swizzle reel and then would be promptly forgotten by everyone who doesn't care about run and gun shooters. By making it look like Cuphead, they got the attention of Cuphead fans, videogame sites, videogame reviews, vloggers,KZbinrs, etc. All weighing on the issue of homage vs. copy vs. blatant ripoff. Which may not even payoff because the reviewer I watched said the controls felt janky and unpolished.

[@pikachumega9854]

Never understood how good Cuphead’s music was till I had to see this that soundtrack really does change things

[@saltyzumwalt7397]

Tbh i think the soundtrack is the least of the problems present here, it doesn't seem that bad.

[@rainpooper7088]

I think it's more the lack of sound effects. Cuphead really made the sound effects work and that "Knockout!" at the end is just iconic. This game just doesn't have any of that.

[@TheNorfAndOnly]

Does this feel like a Cuphead clone? Yes. Does the game still feel a bit unfinished? Yes. But can you tell that this game genuinely strives to be unique, and tries to shake up the formula? Absolutely. I feel like with just a few tweaks to the difficulty, as well as perhaps some additions of voice acting and more animated cutscenes, this game could truly stand side-to-side with Cuphead. Overall, kudos to the game makers! You can tell that this game has a lot of heart.

[@joshcoy6748]

And it had a lack of sounds to everything that was going on, which kinda made it feel lifeless, at least in my opinion.

[@pugstick]

Yeah, and the things that have sound are questionable at best, so much that I jump a bit from the enemy killing sound from one of the bosses

[@RekRakJat]

Not… Really? I’m not seeing this game do anything that Cuphead doesn’t already do better, unfortunately. There’s some fun visuals with the character designs changing but that’s it, really. It’s a solid effort, especially for a team of two, but they really should’ve kept it in the oven for a few more years.

[@linhero797]

I have a very simple question, what does this game do differently then cuphead that wpuld actually shake up the formula?

[@dollynho8832]

No need to exaggerate like that. It does nothing to shake up the formula and I doubt it will ever stand close to Cuphead.

So.... The dlc is confirmed to be the last cuphead media

[@snorpington5910]

i think what bugs me about this game is how disconnected it all feels. the rooster fight really highlighted it for me. the phases didn't transition naturally or in a way that made sense. the music has 3 clashing parts so if even 1 was good, it's instantly gone. the music is my biggest gripe because it feels so incomplete, like an instrument is missing. mdhr studio got an actual band, learned to hand draw animation, concept art etc. enchanted portals is a passion project for certain, but it doomed itself by trying to pay homage to the lightning in a bottle that is Cuphead. They have good ideas, (the piano level, the disco cow portion), but they lack the umph to go farther with the idea that their protags are in wacky cartoon worlds where anything can happen. it's like "what if the princess was a frog" "what if the witch threw cats and we named her catwitch" they didn't go all in with their ideas, they weren't daring enough.

Especially for most of times.

[@excalibur493]

It being a Cuphead clone is gonna draw in a lot of harsh criticism, but there's a couple of things I liked. The first and final battles had the artstyle change mid-battle, for starters. An unexpected, but welcome surprise. And as the Cerberus battle was beginning, you can see the protagonists laughing at it. I know there's a scared animation in Cuphead final bosses, but honestly, it'd be fun to have the protagonists react to every boss. On the other hand, I see why Cuphead doesn't have a block button. Or lets you dash a bunch.

[@austinmorrison6953]

Just love the fact that the magic book itself is the final boss. I think my only complaint with the game is that the animation still needs some polish but that’s about it

[@nessie-from-earthbound1601]

Pretty good game considering it was made by only two people! Big improvements I would suggest are: -More sound effects in a lot of places (bosses and enemies making sounds to signal that's they're about to attack since it seemed like attacks largely only having visual tells lead to JabaPlay not noticing and getting hit a lot; bosses having "immersive" sound effects like foot steps or occasionally doing things like laughing or grunting; a sound playing when a super is ready; etc.) (Watching a game with like no sound effects is always a very strange experience even though it's only happened twice to me. It's always like "wait, something's wrong about this game...oh there's no goddamn sound effects!"); -Having a numerical indicator for health rather than a color/mood indicator, since it's more useful in a fast-paced game with a cluttered screen like this one; -Making things faster, but also spreading things out more if that makes sense? To explain, I mean making most attacks go faster, but having less attacks on screen at once and/or changing the patterns of some to make things flow together better (sound effects would help this work as well); like make the fight shorter and give them less health but make things happen faster. Like bosses tend to just stand around a lot and I think they need to be doing more, so perhaps greater attack variety specifically from the bosses would also help (could also be used to Cuphead bosses going crazy though) (There's other, more specific improvements I could give for specific bosses but I think people get my point) For positives, as many have said before, I enjoy the art/animation and the boss ideas, with the Cow, Princess, Composer, and Cerberus being my favorites, and I think Rocky has a neat idea. They're all quite fun to look at, as are the background and level icons. The music itself is also enjoyable, though a bit basic (and may have to be louder if more sound effects are added), and covers a surprising number of genres. I wish the developers luck on their game making endeavors, because this is a good start/example! :D

I think they should have implemented the different style changes whenever they jumped through a portal. They only utilized it for the first and last boss from the looks of it.

@@Relatablememes2 Cala Maria turning into Medusa make sense because 1) mermaid & medusa are both mythical creatures 2) it means she loses her cool and becomes a monster to fight you. 3) She loses her body, flees but keeps on attacking because she is desperate, that's progression. Look at the sea stage, you fought a hermit crab pirate ship thing, then you fight a giant octopus, and then the ghost of the hermit crab thing without any transition animation, that's random. Yes some boss transformation in Cuphead are random as well like the queen bee & Hilda Berg, but at least the fights are intense and coherent. Look at the rooster fight, he just stood at the background minding his own business while other obstacles attacks you, then turn into a gladiator & a caveman for no reason.

[@keironhiggspoet]

there is some cool boss designs here. although i'm a sucker for that 1930s animation artistic style. the cow is particularly cool

[@hoodedmaskman2660]

click here 14:23 to see rocky boss fight again and because that first phase is nice and good in cool way

[@malord6686]

Honest review JabaPlay. How was this experience for you?

[@The_mexercist]

The game has a interesting story and amazing bosses but what somewhat disappointing is that the game seems a little bit unfinished and the game has clunky mechanics but at the same time it was made by 2 people ( if I’m right) so you can’t expect perfection, still for two people and somewhat small budget this game is amazing

[@theant4184]

Honestly, they shouldn't have done such a monumental task, but it has promise, they should've worked on it much more with the such small budget they had

[@The_mexercist]

@@theant4184 I agree

[@Eat_Acid]

Honestly, I love it Although it's a parody, they have little in common other than the gameplay. I love that I can get even more unusual characters, because in the original game I already know everyone

[@General-F]

It needs a little polish. The animation is definitely there. Just a little more work, if there is one thing this needs more sound effects.

[@MadeOutOfGold]

I agree.

[@quarentman5100]

I wish this game could have been properly funded and made, I feel like there was some good things here

[@bob171]

I like how when someone tries to make a game similar to Cuphead with original characters, everyone cries "BOOO RIPOFF!", but then when Nickelodeon copies Smash Bros with NASB everyone is ok with it because all the characters are from their childhood.

[@QueSeraSeraaaa]

People are blinded with nostalgia, this isn't new.

[@bouncy372]

I guess it only matters whenever the game is good or bad

[@samdavid5772]

I love how the second phase pf the cow boss is just disco, and seeing the character locked into a pose is hilarious XD

[@bok3rnes425]

Yes. Absolutely CupHead here. Great Boss fight Jaba ❤❤❤

[@gregorymee5876]

the conductor deserved more to his fight . it was over and done in less than a full minute

[@scrawnyboii]

I'm still mad we spent the whole game chasing this book ONLY for the book to be evil ...

[@bouncy372]

The book is a little devious

[@awesomefox555]

Good job suffering through this to give us this video XD

[@CoolCreeper5322]

alright sue me Im not gonna pretend likes its a masterpiece. the bosses feel bland some even just using 1 attack on repeat like meowitch and the chicken, and a lot of the animations could use work. a big thing is the lack of sound effects which make the game feel really empty. also this could just be a personal issue but the art style changes while a creative idea make the game just feel inconsistent but maybe that's just me.

[@McRoni51]

Ngl im glad the team released the game even after tje negative reception, but a issue i have it's the massive lack of sound effects, makes the bosses don't feel so powerful or menacing tbh.

[@shannonlewis2022]

It looks good, but I wish they’d gone full-on with the style changes. Maybe each boss could’ve been in a different style and the game would be a celebration of all animation instead of just the 20s-30s.

[@gilsthyname256]

They just needed to clean up some parts to this game and I’m sure people would have enjoyed it more than hate on it, the animation is honestly really good for what they got and the gameplay mechanics seem pretty interesting but needed a little bit more work done. If this was a free test of the game I wouldn’t be complaining but it’s not sadly

[@maley335]

It's only me or it lacks sound feedback? Like the only that I hear is the music, the jumps and the shoots from the player, this is so bad. Like the Bull boss, WHERE IS THE SOUND OF THE GUNSHOTS?

[@Chaotic_Overlord]

Pretty sure the only boss with a sound effect is the conductor (which btw why is him and the dogs 30 seconda each...)

[@goldsnake90]

Also a feedback of when you kill a boss or end a phase other than that slideshow is really needed.

[@maley335]

​@@goldsnake90So true

[@larsthememelord3383]

also the bosses look like they should make a sounds like the caveman rooster yells quietly

[@fordva1002]

No sound effect and a little lack of animation but it is what it is

[@kingbrettpro]

The ending tells me that there's gonna be DLC for this game in the future. Where the final boss is the Book of Magic with its dad? Grandfather? Predecessor?

[@The_Devils_reject]

13:23 my favorite 1800s weapon. The minigun.

[@hunterkillerstudios]

I’m honestly surprised this game made it into full release and I thought that someone just sampled bits from the trailer and made a game out of it

[@g.l.o.w.s.s6900]

Nah that’s what I thought. Like they really just showed every boss and every phase in the trailers huh 😐

[@malawisupasoldier7478]

I'd recommend the creators of the game to re-release it in future with improvements

[@hoodedmaskman2660]

at the end evil wizard: noooooooo book of magic: oooooo boy and girl wizard: yeah high five

[@drmagicborne]

The game for sure can use lots of work, maybe an improved soundtrack and maybe new gameplay mechanics or something like that, but overall, it seems like an ok game. I hope we get to see a sequel or maybe just and update possibly a dlc for the game/series.

[@pogggaming4470]

Say, why are the villains attacking the main characters anyway?

[@SpeedDemon96]

Its about time this game came out.

[@avivyoukerharel2140]

The conductor fight was looking actually great, but then it ENDED IN 1 PHASE COME ON

[@miticaBEP07]

The only thing I like about this game is the music. Not being bound to one specific style like Cuphead they could branch out and make really fun spoofs of genres like disco, 50s rock and roll, orchestral soundtracks and Halloween music. I don’t like how they only have one actual melody they repeat each time, though.

[@alancran8104]

This game is not even worth pirating

[@thatthinginyoureye]

"Babe I'm coming home yo ass better not be a mobile game ripoff of Cuphead" My goofy ass:
