This Old Disney-Style Action Game Feels Like Cuphead Meets Hollow Knight

Moylo is hand-drawn and animated frame by frame in a classic rubber hose cartoon style.

In the age of generative AI, it's refreshing to see a team putting so much care into hand-drawn animation and showing the process behind it. Bugle Duck's Moylo is an action game with melee combat and intense boss battles, and every character, enemy, and environment is animated frame by frame in a classic rubber-hose cartoon style inspired by the 1930s and 1940s animation.

Cuphead and Hollow Knight are among Moylo's inspirations, though the final result has its own style. In response to the overwhelming praise for the game's visuals, the team also plans to include some sections in a "sketchy mode," letting players see the original hand-drawn animations in their raw form, without the colors or cleaned-up linework.

In Moylo, you'll explore a mysterious land stuck in eternal night. Learn enemy patterns, dodge attacks, and take on powerful bosses where timing and skill are key. As you progress, you'll unlock new abilities that give you more ways to fight.

"Enter a world where death has already claimed everything. Beneath an endless night, dark shadows have consumed the land, and every path leads to a new challenge. Face unforgettable bosses and grow stronger as you uncover new powers throughout your journey.

Each boss has its own story, mechanics, and visual style, creating memorable battles that test your skills in different ways."
