Like old school contra! 40 lives cheat....LL RR U DD U D rb rb rb before title screen weapon select............pause game..........R rb L rb U X U X Y

If it's too hard, just choose Easy difficulty. You can restart on the same level if you run out of lives and some levels even have a mid level checkpoint. Quit the game and it will remember the level you was on when you come back. It's not a Contra ripoff, that would be implying it's a cheap cash grab. This is obviously a game by someone that loves Contra and unlike Contra now (not the fun it once was), this still is a lot of fun to play solo. You can custom 4 color aspects of your character, a nice little touch. Supershot is a different button to hold down than your fire button which is rapid fire. You can lock your character in place to fire in a direction if you wish. There's a few other little things to improve the Contra experience here. Filters are limited, only smooth (looks good) & old TV (looks terrible) or none (looks good). If you want a fun Contra game, just like Contra but plays well for today as single or co-op, this is a must play.

I'll stae the flaws first: -You can't control the camera at all, and with more players it's even worse -You're punished for playing solo. More players = more enemies sure, but tons more crystals and mutes you wouldn't get solo, as well as quicker long-term progression, but it's local play only. -RNG is pretty rough. Procedural gen means some pretty horrific weapons on super long maps. -It drags on. 12 levels, 3 being bosses, but you have to repeatedly do it to get all mutes. Pros: -Gunplay is fun -Local play is a plus and being able to be res'd is good -Long term progression via crystal exchange for mutes (takes a ton though) -Art is unique and weapons and enemies have good variety. Overall, get on sale for like 5USD if you can.

Game is hard. The hidden powerups are criptic to find. Found zero. Gameplay is fun but getting past level 3 without helpful boost is difficult. Typed on a controller. Edit 2022 now 2026 - still too difficult for most gamers even on easy mode

1) start on Easy. there's no shame in it with this game. 2) Spread Is your Friend. 3) Position is everything - take your time, stand in a safe place and kill the enemies above you or ahead, then continue. 4) AIM-LOCK is very useful, use it. Good luck.
