UI Graphics
Pretty good game, basically anything you can say about contra you can say about this, the level design is a bit minimalistic but it works,
the graphics altogether are decent, the way the characters are pixel art but the background isn't does look a bit strange but its still ok, but in all honesty the ui is very obnoxious, everything up until you start the level is honestly really bad, and it doesnt reflect on how well the actual game runs, the use of the rifle bullet for only the right arrow is confusing, and the weapon select could be a bit more obvious for people who arent familiar with the actual game, its programmed suprisingly well, like i said before the ui made me think the game was going to run horribly but it was very easy to control and there wasnt any lag or anything, but past being well made, it is literally just contra, and to be honest, there isnt that many original content or ideas in this game, that would make me want to play it over the original contra, which not only looks better but has better level design.
Overall, i couldnt really tell if you were trying to port contra to android, trying to make a small project to test yourself, or trying to make an actual game independent of the real contra, so ill give you this, as a port of contra to android, this game is a 6/10 to me, because it lacks out on basically all of the original content from contra, but as its own game? its closer to a 3/10, because its effectively a (well made) copy of contra without most of the good content.
