Recently, the gaming community was surprisingly shaken up by an indie game developed by a small studio. We are talking about Cuphead, of course. A classic platformer / shooter with an incredible art style, awesome soundtrack, and insane, non-journalist-friendly difficulty. Cuphead's boom may have rekindled your love for stylized platformers and maybe you want to have one on your phone for quick bursts of play?
Well, no worries, we skimmed through, looking for games that would sate that hunger. Full disclosure — there's nothing quite like Cuphead for any platform out there. But we do have some games that follow the same combo — platforming, unique graphical style, tough difficulty. Do you dare to check them out?

Without a doubt, Metal Slug is a true platformer classic and a tough one at that, as it was made for the quarter-hungry arcades of the 90s. There are a total of 4 games in the series available for Android and iOS. With a style of its own, multi-path levels, and tons of different weapons to blast your enemies with, it definitely can scratch that Cuphead itch. Just pretend that the newly-introduced Metal Slug Attack and Metal Slug Defense don't exist, OK?
