Enchanted Portals - All Bosses + Ending 

Something that makes the bosses feel quite unalive is the fact that most of them do little to no noise, most boss fight have only the player sounds, music and the sounds of some attacks.

My only problem with the game is the lack of sound effects and boss fights.

Honestly, I didn’t expect the first boss to change art styles, that’s kinda cool and unique.

Am I gonna be honest I thought this game was never gonna come out

This game is definitely rough around the edges but considering it was made by just TWO people on a tight budget, it's pretty well done. I hope they get to make a sequel because clearly they have fun ideas worth showing off.

For those who don’t get the story, it’s somewhere amongst this Two wizard apprentices were cleaning one of many shelves, but in the middle of it they accidentally make a special tome fall, after that, being the tricksters (or just messing around) that they are, they start messing with the spells in the book, one of them being a portal that goes through worlds, but not being careful enough, the portal swallows them whole along with the cat that was with them and the book (idk if it’s even a tome but doesn’t matter) and so, with the tome on the loose (cuz it was alive somehow) it’s their job to return it back home, probably before their master returns, I don’t know really, it’s my interpretation of the things going on

Two people making this on a budget is awesome! The only problem is that it takes way too many ideas Cuphead had. Which sucks cause this game has potential. I take back what I said the gameplay was horrible.

I did not expect the sudden art style change in some bosses I kinda like it it’s got its own charm to it

Never understood how good Cuphead’s music was till I had to see this that soundtrack really does change things

For a team of two people, they surely made a decent game

Does this feel like a Cuphead clone? Yes. Does the game still feel a bit unfinished? Yes. But can you tell that this game genuinely strives to be unique, and tries to shake up the formula? Absolutely. I feel like with just a few tweaks to the difficulty, as well as perhaps some additions of voice acting and more animated cutscenes, this game could truly stand side-to-side with Cuphead. Overall, kudos to the game makers! You can tell that this game has a lot of heart.

This game isn’t perfect, but it does have its charm

Despite being similar to Cuphead with the same art style, bosses, and story I still do like how the team still tries original things and put the thought and care in it. Even if Cuphead 2 takes a long time we still at least have this to play for a while.

I will say, the Beethoven boss fight is really well done and creative

I'm so glad they did release this, they weren't put of by the negative press and people saying it's a 'cuphead rip-off' and made the game they wanted to make

Mom I want Cuphead! We already have Cuphead at home! Cuphead at home:

Definitely needs more signals and visual flair of phase changes and defeat animations for the bosses

i think what bugs me about this game is how disconnected it all feels. the rooster fight really highlighted it for me. the phases didn't transition naturally or in a way that made sense. the music has 3 clashing parts so if even 1 was good, it's instantly gone. the music is my biggest gripe because it feels so incomplete, like an instrument is missing. mdhr studio got an actual band, learned to hand draw animation, concept art etc. enchanted portals is a passion project for certain, but it doomed itself by trying to pay homage to the lightning in a bottle that is Cuphead. They have good ideas, (the piano level, the disco cow portion), but they lack the umph to go farther with the idea that their protags are in wacky cartoon worlds where anything can happen. it's like "what if the princess was a frog" "what if the witch threw cats and we named her catwitch" they didn't go all in with their ideas, they weren't daring enough.

Ok this isnt entirely "bad", just needs more sound ngl

For a game that is considered a "Cuphead rip-off", it's surprisingly decent. This looks like something that came straight out of a modern Disney Channel show.

I do feel bad for these guys. It was a great undertaking to make this game and to try and get a Kickstarter to help it flourish, but sadly all the negative press it got took its toll. I don't to be too critical, but even if Cuphead wasn't a thing, this would still be a hard recommendation to make. Kudos to these guys for finishing the game all the same and making a fair attempt at trying to expand the genre. Hopefully if there's another game from them, they will be able to get the assistance they need to make it really special.

I do not mind at all that it looks similar to Cuphead. People love Cuphead and want more like it, so here it is, and it still has its own look.

It's alright. The game really could use more sound effects and much more attacks. Part of Cuphead's endless charm was the sound effects and the sheer bullet hell you face on your journey. This feels tame in comparison.

Pretty good game considering it was made by only two people! Big improvements I would suggest are: -More sound effects in a lot of places (bosses and enemies making sounds to signal that's they're about to attack since it seemed like attacks largely only having visual tells lead to JabaPlay not noticing and getting hit a lot; bosses having "immersive" sound effects like foot steps or occasionally doing things like laughing or grunting; a sound playing when a super is ready; etc.) (Watching a game with like no sound effects is always a very strange experience even though it's only happened twice to me. It's always like "wait, something's wrong about this game...oh there's no goddamn sound effects!"); -Having a numerical indicator for health rather than a color/mood indicator, since it's more useful in a fast-paced game with a cluttered screen like this one; -Making things faster, but also spreading things out more if that makes sense? To explain, I mean making most attacks go faster, but having less attacks on screen at once and/or changing the patterns of some to make things flow together better (sound effects would help this work as well); like make the fight shorter and give them less health but make things happen faster. Like bosses tend to just stand around a lot and I think they need to be doing more, so perhaps greater attack variety specifically from the bosses would also help (could also be used to Cuphead bosses going crazy though) (There's other, more specific improvements I could give for specific bosses but I think people get my point) For positives, as many have said before, I enjoy the art/animation and the boss ideas, with the Cow, Princess, Composer, and Cerberus being my favorites, and I think Rocky has a neat idea. They're all quite fun to look at, as are the background and level icons. The music itself is also enjoyable, though a bit basic (and may have to be louder if more sound effects are added), and covers a surprising number of genres. I wish the developers luck on their game making endeavors, because this is a good start/example! :D

This makes me think, to avoid the Cuphead clone allocations, they could make the style switching into a gimmick for the boss fights. Though Id imagine it being hard to program, especially with such a small team.

the sound design is just...wow.

Feels nostalgic, like a flash game.

The boss sequences are so random, I mean in cuphead you can tell the bosses gradually become more desperate/wounded as the fight goes on, the bosses in this game just nonchalantly shoot at you while minding their own business and phase switching to something different.

It sucks that the conducter fight is so short. I wish it was just longer

I totally called It that The Book Of Spell would easily be the Final Boss since day 1!

it really feels like a "we have cuphead at home" game isnt?

This was actually well done! Despite the outcry of it coming, I’d say it was fantastic, and it shows you don’t have to add creep factor to make a villain tough to deal with! I also like that it uses various styles of music, and some of which I like better. In short, less is more. Ludwig can attest to that.

It being a Cuphead clone is gonna draw in a lot of harsh criticism, but there's a couple of things I liked. The first and final battles had the artstyle change mid-battle, for starters. An unexpected, but welcome surprise. And as the Cerberus battle was beginning, you can see the protagonists laughing at it. I know there's a scared animation in Cuphead final bosses, but honestly, it'd be fun to have the protagonists react to every boss. On the other hand, I see why Cuphead doesn't have a block button. Or lets you dash a bunch.

I just noticed the bosses changes there art style during the fight and even the playable characters also got there Styles changes too.

the conductor has so much potential, and it all went away

Ok, I got to admit that, while the game looks similar to Cuphead, the style for the bosses are pretty entertaining.

This is definitely a game with things and stuff

0:00 Intro 0:39 Meowitch 2:56 The Cow 6:07 Haarmit 9:03 The Princess 11:53 Bull 14:21 Rocky 17:23 Conductor 18:01 Cerberus 18:50 Book of Magic 21:18 ENDING

I wish Cerberus and Conductor fights lasted longer because they look so cool.

"Mom, can we have cuphead?" "No we have cuphead at home" Cuphead at home:

I hope they make a sequel to this.

is it just me or despite the conductor fight being short the theme is FIRE

I love for like half of the attacks of the first and second boss, you can stand still and do absolutely nothing but shoot. Great game, guys. Edit: oh, of COURSE the coolest looking bosses with the most promotional material got the shortest fights in the world. UGH

at the end evil wizard: noooooooo book of magic: oooooo boy and girl wizard: yeah high five

Just love the fact that the magic book itself is the final boss. I think my only complaint with the game is that the animation still needs some polish but that’s about it

This game’s mechanics, art style and gameplay give off major Cuphead vibes. In fact I think this is a newer version of Cuphead with bosses from other dimensions and more cutscenes.

20:18 LOVE the design on this kid wizard.

This game is so good!... visually Gameplay wise... it works... but that's all it does I hope the best for the artists behind this game because it sure has talent

The game seems decent, the only thing bothering me is the lack of attacks besides the different phases that add more attacks or change attacks, animations could do some work too in some occasions. The lack of sounds is also a bother, its just the music and I think the jumps too? The game could do much besides improvements but is quite unique, just lacks certain things

Still impressive all that was done with Enchanted Portals since it was made by two people (One did the programming, the other did the art) it just doesn’t have that polish Cuphead does. It’s much more linear and straight forward beginning to end. I do like the Fountain of Time concept in Rocky’s boss fight as well.

Honestly not that bad for a fan game, but man you really understand the importance of sound effects when they’re missing 😂

the artstyle may be good, but im very dissapointed how it turned out. The game that was promised to be inspired or similar to Cuphead doesn't bring the same nicely gameplay. The sound effects are either lacky to give any sort of impact, or they are as generic as the "punch" afx used for hits The cutscenes are cool, i guess, but hearing the quiet film playout as the bosses theme plays on the backgroud makes it sound janky and not satisfying at all to hear Lastly, the HUD. . .i dont even know whats happening there. Its not simplified as other bullet hell games do

I have to say this game is pretty good, sure it’s like Cuphead with its art style, and gameplay wise but the story is different from the game with the brothers defeating the bosses for the soul contracts and the wizards trying to get their book back

I can tell that this game can be a succesful Bethoven-like symphony because of its music.

I think they should have implemented the different style changes whenever they jumped through a portal. They only utilized it for the first and last boss from the looks of it. Would love to see it go through 80's, 90's and early 2000's style animation for every boss fight.Would be awesome to see styles like South Park cutouts, american anime style (like in the last boss), Family Guy or the old Genndy Tartakovski/CN animation style.

This video is my first time discovering that this game has released. Interesting! It makes sense why people were comparing it to Cuphead. Although I think Cuphead is more preferable, Enchanted Portals looks fun too.

This game is actually quite nice,it honestly gives me more of a nice introduction to cuphead with its bullet hell playstyle,like something to let a newcomer try to get used to what the playstyle of cuphead is like before they get into the absolute madness that cuphead brings.Would like more sound effects and more intense music,especially for the diffirent boss phases.All in all,this game gets a B- from me.pretty good👍🏾

For a first-time game that clearly is inspired by Cuphead, this game actually has its charm. One big pro that makes this better than Cuphead: the art changes One big con that it needs: more time and more budget to make the arts flow right

the conductor deserved more to his fight . it was over and done in less than a full minute

It’s not horrible! It definitely has major charm, it’s creative, the art is nice to look at

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this game to come out so soon!

The conductor fight was looking actually great, but then it ENDED IN 1 PHASE COME ON

The fact the first and final bosses switch art styles in their final forms makes wonder if this was intended to be a thing for every boss but had to be scrapped for whatever reason.

subscribed for the boss-labels. I really like the design. They make my brain happy.

Honestly, this isn't nearly as bad as I'd thought it would be. Sure, the animations are a bit stilted at points, but there's at least some unique twists, like changing up the battle format mid-fight, changing art-styles... there's clearly some effort put into making it distinct, as much as it makes its Cuphead inspiration apparent. Sound design could do with some work, though. I mean the octopus has a horn attack that hits you with the sound, but it doesn't actually MAKE any sound...

I think the artstyle changes are pretty cool, maybe that could’ve been the selling point of the whole game. But wow it’s kinda lame that some of these phases can just be beaten by jumping in place.

Child: hey mom, can we get cuphead? Mom: no honey, we have cuphead at home Cuphead at home:

I love how the second phase pf the cow boss is just disco, and seeing the character locked into a pose is hilarious XD

Yes. Absolutely CupHead here. Great Boss fight Jaba ❤❤❤

The Animation in this game is so half-assed! The presentation is Cardboard in nature. This game is just a Cuphead Cash-In like Fearmonium.

The game: Fantasy related bosses with wizards using spells. My brain: *cuphed*

No sound effect and a little lack of animation but it is what it is

The ending tells me that there's gonna be DLC for this game in the future. Where the final boss is the Book of Magic with its dad? Grandfather? Predecessor?

click here 14:23 to see rocky boss fight again and because that first phase is nice and good in cool way

Remember kids: Hire a sound designer.

Something that would have helped this game would have been if each boss had a different animation style... In the case of the princess it would have been more Disney, in the case of the witch more Tim Burton, and so on. It would have given more personality to the game.

It needs a little polish. The animation is definitely there. Just a little more work, if there is one thing this needs more sound effects.

Really sad that the game got criticized into oblivion. even if it's noticeably cheap it has some very unique ideas (Artstyle changes and movement changes like with the Disco cow fight.) What I find sadder is that the animation looks noticeably WORSE than in the trailer implying they tried to remove the tweening. It looks much choppier now. If Pizza Tower or Anton Blast got shafted basically being Wario Land successors, we wouldn't have either of them or they'd probably be noticeably worse. Games can take inspiration and i can appreciate the dedication in an era with games like Poppy Playtime, Hello Neighbor and Garten of Banban

“From the producers who saw Cuphead” -a wise sage in the Steam reviews

I feel like they should have delayed this. I’m glad they weren’t discouraged from releasing it at all, but this feels really unfinished.

The game has a interesting story and amazing bosses but what somewhat disappointing is that the game seems a little bit unfinished and the game has clunky mechanics but at the same time it was made by 2 people ( if I’m right) so you can’t expect perfection, still for two people and somewhat small budget this game is amazing

It looks good, but I wish they’d gone full-on with the style changes. Maybe each boss could’ve been in a different style and the game would be a celebration of all animation instead of just the 20s-30s.

I love the sound effects

Say, why are the villains attacking the main characters anyway?

the art style switching looks good but sometimes the animation and graphics look bad like the bubbles from the first boss they just look like a stock asset and the bosses just look like a repeating animation that hardly ever changes what it does and the sound effects lack any punch

I’m honestly surprised this game made it into full release and I thought that someone just sampled bits from the trailer and made a game out of it

Its about time this game came out.

at first I was confused about the Rocky boss. But then I figured out that the fountain in the background must be the fountain of youth. He falls into the fountain each phase and then goes back in time (even though that’s not how the fountain of youth works). When you kill him he falls into the fountain and becomes a chick in an egg (which is how it actually works). Thank you for coming to my pep talk 🤓.

The game isn't perfect, but it's more than just a Cuphead ripoff. Many of the bosses are really creative, and while some animations are lacking, some are really good!

alright sue me Im not gonna pretend likes its a masterpiece. the bosses feel bland some even just using 1 attack on repeat like meowitch and the chicken, and a lot of the animations could use work. a big thing is the lack of sound effects which make the game feel really empty. also this could just be a personal issue but the art style changes while a creative idea make the game just feel inconsistent but maybe that's just me.

It’s finally here!

Honestly this game did not meet my expectations

It's only me or it lacks sound feedback? Like the only that I hear is the music, the jumps and the shoots from the player, this is so bad. Like the Bull boss, WHERE IS THE SOUND OF THE GUNSHOTS?

Some of these boss attacks look unfinished

Perhaps the sound effects lack satisfying punch But visually is really nice

Finlly you back

Ok i was hoping they'd do something to distinguish themselves from cuphead and that thing was crappy sound effects Edit: also to make the attacks super easy and bad looking, guess that's good enough

THE CONDUCTOR IS IM MEEN

Just glad the frog isn't Frogger. (If you get it, you got it, if you don't, then don't worry about it.)

0:42 this is my favorite boss by far 😍
