About This Game

Contract is a side-scrolling shooter in which you must shoot, hack and massacre your way past armed guards, security systems and other challenges in order to reach your targets. You play as a man, blackmailed into the art of assassination by the kidnappers of his brother.

In order to get to your targets you must fight your way through mountains of private security and hungry dogs, find security pannels to hack locked doors and make your way to your unwitting targets. Upgrade your gear with the money you gain from your contracts to ensure you always stay on top of the increasingly difficult tasks as you progress through the game.

Main Features

  • Unravel the truth about the kidnapping of your brother through 20 missions
  • Gain the upper hand over your enemies by upgrading your weaponry as well as your clothing

This game is great! It's very fun! It's a pixel art, side-scrolling shooter in which you play an assassin. I love the artwork in this game. I like how everything is black and white except for the blood. It really reminds me of Hotline Miami. Between missions you have a chance to buy weapons and clothes/armor. At release I noticed a couple minor bugs but the developer has already acknowledged them and says they will be fixed soon. The price seems a tiny bit high at 5 euros, but not by much. The game feels polished. It comes with 15 levels. I hope that more will be added later because the gameplay is quite fun. Please?

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I thought this was a poorly developed game. The gun combat is made completely useless because, for the majority of the game, you can just walk up to someone and punch them. There's no flow to the combat or any challenge. The upgrade system is pointless. I'm on the last level and I didn't need to buy anything to reach it. I just punched my way through it. Also, if you care about time, I'm on the last level of the game and it took me less than an hour to get there. Maybe 40 minutes? I don't think that that should always factor into the buying of a game, but for those who care, there's that. Here's a video of me playing and basically saying the same thing, if that's your thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmXOWcw77dM

if you liked gunpoint, then this game is nothing like gunpoint. go play gunpoint again instead. i did not enjoy the gameplay, the writing was poor and the equipment purchasing was either poorly designed or bugged out. i bought some glasses, i took them off, i could not put them back on - i guess all your items are disposable. be careful with that if you play this.

This is another reason why Gaben needs to grant us the gift of a 'meh' button. tl;dr at bottom. Pro's: [list] [*]Runs well (I can hear /g/ saying 'no sh*t, it's pixel) but the amount of indie games that have their way with my beautiful resolution and rip 144fps down to 30 is slightly worrying. [*]Look's good, although the environments aren't much in terms of setting (offices mostly) detail in them is nice, only gripe here is character design is a bit meh, it could be more detailed, I think it'd look a lot better. Same with blood, there's a nice contrast a bit like Sin City but sprays are too similar. [*]Gameplay is fun, you have limited ammo so need to stab people when possible. But that's it, it's fun but nothing special, people have compared it to hotline miami but I don't really see the correlation apart from the phone calls. Gameplay isn't similar apart from one hit kill on some enemies. [/list] I'll add more when future updates come, now for cons, and why you shoul...

This is mediocre for several reasons 1) 4 types of enemies with indistinguishable health 2) boring repetititve gameplay 3) no rewardimg for stalth kills, rage kills and such 4) crappy sory with some parts missing at all. could be really solid if you'd your mind to it 5) no explosives 6) no actual upgrades, if you pick a pistol, you have to BUY RIFLE AGAIN. WHAT IN THE NAME OF GREAT SCOTCH So, don't waste your time nor money, 2/10

It's a Very fun game with an alright story, but a LOT of bugs. I would recommend you get it if it interests you, but be aware that this is an unfinished project of a game. Tips for beginners: 1)Turn off the music. There's a bug in the game that makes all of the soundtracks play at once, it doesn't sound too bad some times, but it's not the most pleasant thing to listen to; 2)In the safehouse go till the farest wall to the right and change your tie to blue for SPEEED (cuz health is for casuals and stealth is non-existent); 3) NEVER get the Silenced Handgun, it does 0 Damage to dogs which can easily one-hit you. P.S.: you can crouch to not die to dogs instantly, but when you stand up you'll die. Oh and when you buy something, you don't get to keep it if you buy something else And most importantly of ALL: the ending is not satisfying at All and Dogs are terrifyingly OP
