Seems like the most signature things seeming that way are the jump animations (doing a constant tuck roll in the air) from the characters, and having them shoot projectiles from their fingertips.

I like the Cuphead animation approach enough that I’m willing to forgive it. Heck, if it was just advertised as “small studio makes low-budget Cuphead DLC” I enjoy Cuphead enough that it would still be interesting.

I dunno, there’s a point where a game draws too much inspiration from another game and just makes it feel like another dev just trying to make that game instead of their own.
