![]() ![]() We’re a small team of just two people and for our first project in the world of game development, we wanted to create a similar game, as an homage to it. Well, it is no secret that we’re avid Cuphead fans, and Enchanted Portals was born from a deep admiration for the original. What really made you say “We have to make this!” First off, let’s start with why you’re passionate about creating this game. And the developers have graciously agreed to an interview with us so let’s get right to it. This is something we have talked about a couple of times over on Indie Pod -a podcast all about indie games- and wanted to know a little bit more about. We’ll just have to wait and see how it does when the official Kickstarter Campaign kicks off on 24 October 2019.For those looking for a new platforming, boss-rush game with old cartoony animation then look no further! Enchanted Portals has you covered. Overall, the project looks like the project is off to a rocky start. So we’re trying to turn our attention more towards all those who are supporting us and sending their love for the game.” That being said, along with all those negative responses, a lot of people have also reached out to us to say they adore the game and they would love to see it succeed. ![]() ![]() We were prepared for some backlash, but the trailer definitely reached way more people than we could ever anticipate, and all the hate and negativity coming our way has definitely had a huge impact on us.

In the end, the situation became so incendiary that Xixo Games themselves had to step in and comment: These creators are just big fans of Cuphead wanting to share their art in the game style that inspired them. #Cuphead doesn't own the rubberhose animation technique or the 2D shoot 'em up game style. I feel like #EnchantedPortals should not be attacked on a level like this. I'll admit i'm super biased cause I don't like cuphead's art style like at all but you guys really need to be less mad at something that clearly has a lot of work put into it and looks a lot more like an "Obviously inspired by" feel to it rather than a ripoff. People keep calling #EnchantedPortals a cuphead ripoff? idk how to tell yall this but you can't copyright rubberhose style? Don't we WANT more stylized games like this? People thought #Cuphead was revolutionary and cool looking, what's wrong with #EnchantedPortals? This game really does not deserve to be shit on for playing and looking like Cuphead. AbsoluteSpooky ? Retro Ghouls ? October 9, 2019 If anything, this game will make people want to play Cuphead even more, since Cuphead's beauty and style are simply unmatched.

Leaked photo of Xixo Games Studio developing Enchanted Portals. This game feels almost plagiaristic as it has the same mechanics and the art style Cuphead achieved so well. Of course, some even posted memes mocking the game.Ī video game called Enchanted Portals has had a lot of people call it a ripoff to Cuphead and I have to agree with that consensus. On one end, many accused the game of ripping off Cuphead’s animations completely – with some fans upset that it didn’t do enough to differentiate itself as something original. Many fans are now debating (and arguing) about whether game borrows a little too much from Cuphead. The response to this trailer, however, has been far from squeaky clean. You can check this out in the trailer below. One of the main draws of the project is that it will feature similar graphics and gameplay to the popular Cuphead.
