Someone dared to ask what if we made Cuphead bad and low effort, and forgot just what made it a good game. The game has barely anything going for it. The one thing saving it for a 1/10 is that the art style sometimes changes to match the location. The witch fight has an art style shift that turns the characters into a weird gothic Invader Zim-esque look, the final boss gives the characters a more anime look, and the computer world has the characters covered in glitchy code. That's it. If they focused more on making each level or world have its own unique aesthetic and music, I think that would have done wonders for this game and made it more than just a Cuphead clone. As it is now, it's a terrible, unfairly hard, and frustrating time that could be beaten in 2 hours.
