Developed by Studio MDHR (@StudioMDHR), named after its co-founders Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, Cuphead is a classic indie smash success story a la Indie Game: The Movie.

The game has sold over 6 million copies on all platforms as of its PS4 launch in July 2020 and the recently released, long-awaited DLC pack Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course (get it) sold over 1 million copies in just 2 weeks after it launched in June.

An animated Cuphead show premiered on Netflix this past February and has already been renewed for Season 2 (and a rumoured Season 3).

The physical copy is being manufactured and distributed in partnership with iam8bit (@iam8bit), a California-based company famous for its physical copies of indie games.

They’ve previously released physical copies of other popular Canadian indies like Spinch from PEI-based Queen Bee Games (@queenbeegames) or Grindstone from Toronto-based Capy Games (@CAPYGAMES).
