That winking, sinister-looking cigar you see above is one of the game's many bosses. And that frustrated-looking guy with a cup for a head? That's actually not the eponymous "Cuphead," but instead is his trusty partner "Mugman." 

The game is so gorgeous because it's hand-drawn - something few games pull off, and no games pull off as well as "Cuphead." The game launched recently on Xbox One and PC, and it's more than just a pretty face.
