The ultimate run-and-gun action game! Fight through waves of alien soldiers and massive bosses. One of the hardest and most rewarding games of the 8-bit era. Inspired side-scrolling shooter tribute.
Contra throws you into non-stop action from the first second. Fight through enemies, collect power-ups, and keep moving — standing still is how you lose. Controls: Use WASD or the arrow keys to move, and mouse or spacebar for primary attacks. Controls respond instantly, so keep your hands ready. Tips to get better: Look at what the top scores on leaderboards have in common — it's usually a specific strategy. Pay attention to visual cues — most games telegraph what's coming a half-second before it happens. Side quests and hidden objectives often unlock the real strategy the game wants you to find. If you're drawn to games with a contra flavor, Contra hits that spot cleanly. The fun in Contra is in the restart. Each run is a chance to surprise yourself.
