Contract is a side-scrolling 8bit shooter made in Gamemaker by Sylvian Houben. It's relatively simplistic in its mechanics and style, but woos a player with the promise of fast, silky smooth gameplay and a neat little upgrade system to shake things up. The game is set across around twenty levels, so it's short, but there is free content that the developer is working on as an addition for those that bought the game. While the mechanics, art style, and general gameplay may look simple, the core elements mashed together into some complex and imaginative levels make for a highly challenging experience. The best way to describe its likeness is Hitman in 8bit, particularly with the added bonus of changing the colour of your tie.
