Short description · 294 / 300

Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings.

First sentence never names the genre. It opens: "Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles."

Opens with the game's name. Starts "Cuphead is a…", which wastes the first words.

A rewritten draft built from your own words is in the full report.
