Baldi's Basics in Cuphead

Play Cuphead's run-and-gun levels and boss fights as Baldi. His sprites, voice and sounds, the item bar and all 12 schoolmates are read from your own copy of Baldi's Basics Plus every time the game starts. Nothing from either game is in the download. Single player.

What's in it

• Baldi replaces Cuphead in every on-foot level, with his own idle, talking, ruler-slap, throw, eating and victory-wave animations. (The world map and plane levels stay Cuphead.)
• New movement: Baldi moves in slap-lurches, a burst of speed on every ruler slap, and gets faster the more damage he deals. Dash is a ruler lunge that hurts what it hits. Parry still works.
• Baldi's item bar: 5 new weapons (not reskinned guns)
  1. Ruler: a hard close-range slap
  2. Quarter: fast coins in a straight line
  3. BSODA: a slow spray that passes through enemies and washes away their bullets
  4. Alarm Clock: thrown in an arc, ticks, then rings for big area damage
  5. Zesty Bar: once per level, +1 HP
• Call in schoolmates: EX (1 card) calls the next one in your loadout, and a full Super calls all three. Press F2 to pick 3 of 12: Principal of the Thing (clears bullets), Playtime, Gotta Sweep, It's a Bully (blocks bullets), 1st Prize, Arts and Crafters, Beans, Cloudy Copter, Chalkles, Mrs. Pomp (double damage), The Test (invulnerable) and Dr. Reflex.
• Baldi's Basics sounds: slaps, "Let's go!", praise, "Ohh", game over, and every character's own voice lines.

Controls

Your usual Cuphead controls: Shoot uses the selected item, Switch Weapon picks the next one, EX/Super calls schoolmates, Dash is the ruler lunge. On keyboard, 1-5 picks an item, the mouse wheel cycles through them, and F2 opens the roster.
