Contract Rush DX

Contract Rush DX is a Newgrounds-style run-and-gun where you collect powerups to make your weapons stronger, while going under contract to take out villains. Like a hive mind of bugs, and Jimmy Fallon.

Unused Graphics#

Mockups and Placeholders#

A handful of general mockups and placeholders.

Fleezlebub has some rough concepts. fleelzebub.png is a colored sketch of him while the "fleelzebub head idle sketch" sprites just have his head without his body.

Temporary sprites for Authority's heart, labeled heart_temp.png, heart_temp_2.png, heart_temp_3.png.

Color maps for Cynthia, presumably to help the artists color in the sprites consistently.

A placeholder dialogue portrait for Bilge. An alignment grid is visible.

An early dialogue portrait for Mast. The unused one has slightly different shading and her face is redrawn.

A temporary dialogue portrait for the Kaiju. It lacks the purple glow and the pupil is less detailed.

Sketches for the alien enemy attacking.

Oddities#

  • The filename for a For Sale sign is for_sale_baby_shoes_never_worn.png.
  • The basic enemy is called both "Goomba" and "Gamblor" in the filenames, the latter being a reference to The Simpsons.
