To be frank, it's quite terrible. The person who made this clearly doesn't understand too much about pixel art and just threw some sprites together without any consistance between resolutions and added Arial as a font for that extra spice. This could be saved with a bit of work and looking up tutorials on how to make pixel games look good on unity since the sprites itself aren't the problem. The controls are bad because of the lack of D-Pad support, the level design is uninspired and just throws a bunch of random enemies in your way without any thought or system behind it, sound effects are terrible, you can die because of colission issues and after just one level I fell through the map and had to restart the whole game. Naaah. Go play Super Cyborg, or better yet, Blazing Chrome or an actual Contra game instead of this.

User Reviews
The person obviously looked at Metal Slug and Contra and thought "yeah im gonna make my own take of this, with blackjack and hookers" and ended up making a colossal mess at the end of the day. The fact it's expected to beat the entire game without continuing more than three times makes it even more obvious how out of touch the developer is.
For the price you get what you pay for. For $4 we could get a couple hours of entertainment out of it. But there is no menu or options. It only took us about 30min to get through the whole game the first time.
Graphics are a 5/5, game is short and sweet. Overall a good package for two players to play through. Weapons were fun, main issue was some of the jump controls but I would say 7/10 for the price.
