Cuphead is as Hard as it is Charming and That's Why I Cheated


Those who know me know that I detest hard video games. Real life is hard enough, I say, so why would I want to sit and relax to a hideous anthropomorphic flower blimp beating me to a pulp? 

Lo and behold, there I was getting beat into a pulp by a an anthropomorphic blimp that's also a cow and even a moon-android sometimes. Cuphead is so wild I'm convinced it's a demonic gift like the Death Note and when you die in-game somebody dies in real life.


Moving on, my friend and I were able to decimate Hilda Berg, after, like, 5 retries. Super.

But this flower SOB, Cagney Carnation, was just too much man.

We started the game fighting this dude and came back to him after an hour or so, feeling toughened up, and we still got whooped. 

We'd always get it to the stage where it surprise attacks with its Flower Phallus (TM) and just die. I don't think I've been angrier at Cuphead before. How is anyone supposed to doge projectiles, avoid the ground attacks, and also avoid 2 of the floating platforms besieged by the Flower Phallus? Unreal.

I was so angry that I almost booted up Mirror's Edge to relax. That is until, my friend, my pal, my buddy-boy-bud, hours of pent up tension and rage released in one glorious stream of... Well, just look.
Many hours have passed since it's happened I still don't know what happened, but I'm not gonna question I'm now officially a cheater, however unintentional.

May the Gods of gaming forgive me, but I'm okay with this. Hey, if you've randomly encountered an equally beneficial bug in a game, tell us all-about-it why doncha'? Or don't. That's cool too. But you should. I mean, it's up to you really.

Tell us.
