Inkhead on Roblox
You're an ink jar with a pea shooter. Inkhead is a Cuphead-inspired cartoon boss rush on Roblox — dodge, parry anything pink, and work your way up to the Clock King.
What it is
Inkhead trades Cuphead's 1930s rubber-hose look for an ink-and-paper cartoon style built inside Roblox. You play a walking ink jar armed with a pea shooter, fighting through a lineup of cartoon bosses. It launched in late September 2026 and pulled in over a million visits in its first weeks — one of the faster-growing shooters on the platform.
How a fight works
- 1Pick a boss from the map
Bosses are the core content — each is a multi-phase cartoon fight with its own patterns, closer to Cuphead's structure than a typical Roblox wave game.
- 2Parry the pink stuff
Anything pink can be parried — a mechanic lifted straight from Cuphead. Parries are the difference between scraping through and mastering a fight.
- 3Climb to the Clock King
The Clock King sits at the top of the boss ladder. Beat the lineup, then take him down.
- 4Bring a friend
Solo or co-op — co-op makes boss phases noticeably easier since damage gets split across two shooters.
Difficulty and tips
| Mode | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Casual | Learn the patterns — developer's own description is "casual to learn" |
| Expert | Faster patterns, tighter parry windows — "Expert to suffer" is the official tagline |
Start on Casual and finish the boss roster once before touching Expert. Learn which attacks are pink before you commit to parries — misreading a pink cue is how most runs end.
