• Simple
• Regular
• Expert

The \"Invisible Challenge\" introduces invisible projectiles, making it more difficult to dodge incoming attacks. After selecting your difficulty, choose from various control schemes to match your preferred playstyle.

Gameplay

Engage in a high-paced, side-scrolling aerial combat scenario. The boss fight against Wally Warbles starts right away and evolves in three stages. You have three lives, so it’s crucial to dodge his attacks while countering with your own. After a fierce battle, Wally will be defeated and carried off, his journey ending on a stretcher!

Aviary Action

This web version of Cuphead is based on a memorable boss fight from the original game. Known as Aviary Action, this battle spans three distinct phases, each bringing new challenges as Wally Warbles transforms and becomes increasingly difficult to defeat.
