Game Review #`1: Cuphead
<div class="text-justify">

Today I  would like to introduce an exciting retro classic game called Cuphead. It's a platformer game where you shoot and kill your enemies and boss. The drawing of character and the colors use are based on classic cartoons that we use to watch like the old *Tom and Jerry*, *Betty Boop*, *Mickey Mouse* *etc.* The game can be bought on [steam](http://store.steampowered.com/app/268910/Cuphead/) which cost me around 500 pesos($10).
> I don't have a headset and a webcam yet. Maybe if someone donates, I'll be recording my game review with me on the side and actually reviewing it with my mic.

On the fictional Inkwell Isle, Cuphead and his brother Mugman are two fun-loving kids who live under the watchful eye of Elder Kettle. Against the elder's warnings, the brothers wander into the Devil's Casino and play craps. When the brothers go on a winning streak, the casino's manager King Dice calls upon the Devil, who raises the stakes. If Cuphead and Mugman can win another time, they will own the entire casino; if not, the Devil will have their souls. Cuphead rolls snake eyes and he and Mugman must give up their souls. The brothers beg for mercy, so the Devil makes a deal with them: collect the contracts of other inhabitants of Inkwell Isle who have lost their souls by midnight the next day, and he might let them off the hook.

They visit Elder Kettle, who gives them a potion that allows them to fire blasts from their fingers to aid in their quest.

After the intro and tutorial you can now walk in the world map that looks exactly the old cartoons we used to watch. You can interact with the NPC's some will actually give you coins which is used to buy item from the shop, and some even gives you a hint.

The game consist of 3 categories the *Shoot n Run*, *Boss fight*, and the *Boss Fight Plane mode*.

This is the *shoot n run* mode. It is similar to games like contra, megaman, metal slug, etc. . 
In this mode you just have to reach the end point to finish the level. but be wary, there are coins in this level which is important. Collecting them will makes the game much easier.

*Boss Fight* mode 
This is where you fight those who are in debt with the devil's. You need to defeat them in order to collect their contracts. You first select which game mode you prefer the *easy*(for noobs) and the *regular* which makes the game more exciting.

<p><br></p>

And this is the *Boss Fight Plane* mode
It's pretty much like the same as the *Boss Fight* mode instead you'll be using an airplane to shoot down your enemy.

After finishing a level you will be scored based on your performance. If you are an OCD player you'll love getting beaten by each level over and over again. The game is actually so hard that you'll wish that you didn't buy it, but then again it's fun, I'm sure you'll comeback to play Cuphead again. haha!

That pretty wraps it up all. Here's a video of me playing the game. I already played the game but for entertainment. I play the game in a new save file. Enjoy!

Update:

>Sorry guys, I didn't know that the video editor trial version can only edit up to 1:00 minute of play time only sorry everyone I'm kinda short and can't purchase softwares like this for now, plus I'll be using my SBD for my project and that is to promote STEEMIT and Bitshares here in the Philippines.

Our lesson for today is never make a deal with the devil. Cause it will cost you your soul and maybe, shooting some bad guys. That's if you are a Cuphead and have a brother Mugman.
