Evolution of Cuphead 2010-2023

[@inertia179]

I absolutely love the cartoon style it adopted from cartoons before 1960s. So expressive, vibrant, and silly in a good way.

Erm actually it’s based on rubber hose from before the 1940s🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@rayjaxter]

What a well structured and informative video. Great work! Love learning more about the game and the Moldenhauer bros!

Cuphead is a really good game it’s in my opinion the best indie game ever made I’m glad it got a show it deserves it

[@kartikthetigersimmba4461]

Off course it's one of my favourite just like bendy and the ink machine and poppy playtime

[@-just-a-cat-]

and also the most rage inducing game (no offense)

When I first saw a video about it on KZbin, I thought this game is based on an old cartoon already existing, but now I know all the artwork was made manually and so many characters and environments were developed for this masterpiece.

[@SenkuTheScience]

Even if you’re a person who doesn’t rage at games, you’re still gonna rage at cuphead.

[@Hell-Awaits]

If you played coin ops in the '90, Cuphead is a piece of cake.

[@_sb_1168]

This is true

[@mikolaj_krawczyk]

I literally finished the game + dlc + life stuff in 3 days. Now I'm S ranking all the levels just to get at least a little bit of a challenge. But once you learn the patterns for each boss fight the game is a piece of cake but I have to say the game overall is very fun and most bosses are really good designed

[@Cosdo0926]

yes i know omg

[@nayas-content7575]

Indeed xd- i raged SO bad at goopy le grand and ribby and croaks- i only beat the root pack and goopy le grand so far-

[@wettuga2762]

Beating some bosses gets annoying at times, but I can't stop loving this game! I'm glad to find out how much they invested on it (physically, emotionally and monetarily) through this excellent video.

[@Spitfire-Acid]

Another thing the Parry Slap can do (this is coming from someone who REALLY can’t beat the first dang level, even with 2 players): It can revive the other player if you make contact, yet the more you try revive your mug or cup sibling, the quicker the ghost rises.

[@IanSonicGachaVA]

I find it very interesting how all the animations were done by hand it’s a good throw back to 1930’s cartoons but I never knew it took about 10 years for the game to come out due to that you could say it’s almost how Squid Game was made because the director had a 10 year journey being rejected by multiple Korean studios

[@TheCoolChocolate_Official]

Putting this into consideration, the DLC was probably worked on for 5 years, that’s why it released 5 years after the game came out

[@ladynikkie]

It's rare to see that form of art work anymore.

[@michh.bsketbll]

cuphead doesnt seem like my type of game but i see why people could like it! its amazing how hard they worked on it!!

[@videos8159]

A good idea, dedication and a bunch of talented people. Its rly an amazing game

[@M1DAS_theoppdestroyer]

If you play on the nintendo switch and you wanna get the black-and-white feature faster than to do all the levels as a pacifist just do this, go to your system settings go to change color and put it to grayscale or inverted you can get special effects color swaps

[@thatslife8118]

Cuphead is a game that will stand the test of time! This game is a work of art!

[@canis_majoris301]

Nice video of a nice game. Thank you for the effort. Inspires me to revisit the colorful world of Cuphead.

[@EricasTouch]

For those who are confused, development started in 2010. The game was finally released in 2017.

[@marcinkarpina9800]

interestic how many hand suffered

[@BabyBillIsCool]

I've loved this game ever since it was released. As someone who loves those old cartoons, I was smiling like an idiot when it was released

[@easypianosongs2797]

Man, your videos are always so amazing and inspiring. My favorite one was The Evolution of Xbox.

[@azerm9]

Nice video. It is nice to see a video that covers the history of a game that is not just clips from stages with the time it was made on the bottom and this is it.

[@volcano83]

I finished the game and DLC today. Was a truly excellent game and I loved every minute of it 😃

[@JPI_RV]

Wow! It's such a lot of work to make this game. Thanks a lot for the video!

Ms. Chalice does give some great Elenor Powell vibes. She is one hell of a great female character

[@theonlybigsmoke]

She is actually pretty hot 😬😂😎🤠😹

[@obaolade1232]

cuphead is one of the first indie games to have its own animated series which makes it like the god of indie games

[@jrathbun1672]

I love the Cuphead show! I’ve never played the game, but I have seen people play it my most favorite character besides, Cuphead, and mug man is chalice

Man what heartwarming story and risk that Chad and Jared did to make this game even remortgage their houses for this monster size game entirely made by hand nothing fancy wow those 2 have a very big heart and committed making this awsome game😊

[@Mohamed58290]

Cuphead is the best indie game i have ever played and it has allot of love and care in every frame in it

[@BandLBestiebros]

Me and my brother have the same similarities to the creators of Cuphead. We both love 1930's cartoons, we love video games, and I love drawing! Also, we are too Canadian, which is purely coincidental. I ❤ Cuphead! 😊 🧚🏻‍♀️💥🪄🧸

[@vinulajayaweera6200]

Thnx for the video

[@joncarlos716]

I remember seeing it before E3 2015 and knowing everything was hand drawn and knowing that I had to have it. 2023 I finally have it because I was waiting for a physical release and the dlc included on switch. I came so close to buy it on pc in 2017.

[@Anastasia-ty5lu]

Cuphead is the best game ever I'm happy it got a show

[@TheGr8tPlays]

I knew when playing this game there was alot of homages to the earlyer cartoons of the 20s-30s just by how the game feels but wow they were super creative now that i see in detail how far they worked🙌🏾props to them and the guys wife for being dedicated to his initial project🔥🔥

Fun fact, Medusa actually got her head chopped off from another character in the story and she was still alive after she lost her head! That’s why medusa had just a head. (The more you know)

[@OverAnalytical7]

It’s a nice touch that the narrator mentions the cake quote being attributed to Marie Antoinette and not said by her. While I do not believe that she did or didn’t say it, multiple sources state that she may not have said anything of the sort in her lifetime.

[@joshualeroy8]

My man will not stop repeating that it was hand-drawn like early Disney animation.

Djimmi the great isn’t the only 5 phase one. Hilda berg has her regular phase, her Taurus phase, her Sagittarius phase, her Gemini phase, and her moon phase

[@smileyflamingo3676]

10:08 just wanted to give some context for this since it was just thrown out randomly. Her response to peasants running out of bread to eat was let them eat cake, but it isn’t even a real quote, it was made as propaganda to show how oblivious she was about the conditions of the peasants.
