About Contract Rush DX
Contract Rush DX is a hand‑animated 2D action title where each playable character feels like a distinct game. Players tackle large levels called Contracts, collect power‑ups, and face a boss at the end of each stage.
The game draws visual inspiration from early‑2000s flash cartoons, offering bold, sharp animation. Sub‑Contracts provide smaller challenge rooms with varied objectives, and earning three stars on each grants rewards. The experience is single‑player and supports full controller use on Steam.
01 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay Structure
A Contract is a large level populated with enemies, NPCs, and hidden secrets. Completing the Contract’s objectives leads to a boss fight that tests the abilities built up during the run. Sub‑Contracts are shorter challenge rooms with specific goals. Players aim for three stars in each, which unlocks additional rewards and encourages replay for mastery.
- Explore each level thoroughly to locate hidden power‑ups.
- Try different characters if a boss feels too difficult.

Character Variety
Multiple playable characters each have unique play styles. Some focus on pure shoot‑‘em‑up mechanics, while others emphasize melee attacks, giving the game varied tactical options. Switching characters can change how a level feels, offering alternative strategies for difficult sections or bosses.
- Experiment with melee‑oriented characters for close‑range encounters.
- Use shoot‑‘em‑up characters to clear crowds quickly.
03 / THE GUIDE
Power‑Up System
Power‑ups are scattered throughout Contracts and can dramatically boost abilities such as movement speed, spread‑shot bullets, and fire rate. Collecting them prepares the player for the final boss battle. Collecting as many as possible before confronting the boss helps players make the most of these boosts.
- Prioritize speed upgrades for time‑sensitive sections.
- Seek fire‑rate boosts before heavy enemy waves.

Sub‑Contract Rewards
Each Sub‑Contract presents a mini‑challenge with its own objectives. Achieving all three stars on a Sub‑Contract grants rewards. These rewards are separate from the main Contract’s power‑ups, adding an extra layer of incentive to master the smaller challenges.
- Focus on precision to earn three stars quickly.
- Earn Sub‑Contract rewards by mastering their challenges.

Controller Support
Contract Rush DX offers full controller support on Steam, compatible with DualShock and DualSense devices. Players can navigate the game entirely with a gamepad. The inclusion of controller support does not limit other input methods, allowing flexibility in how the game is played.
- Test both DualShock and DualSense to see which feels more comfortable.
- Adjust in‑game sensitivity if available for smoother control.
