Features:

- The Mercenary's Choice: Tackle contracts in your chosen order on the Contract Board. Each victory grants you powerful, stackable upgrades to customize your playthrough.

- Arsenal of Annihilation: Unlock and master multiple weapons, each with its own standard, special, and ultra attacks to suit different playstyles.

About this game:
You are a Cleaner. The best in the business. In the lawless reaches of the galaxy, your name is whispered with respect and fear. You take the jobs no one else can handle.
A mysterious benefactor known only as The Patron has offered you a series of high-value contracts. The targets are diverse and deadly, each a power unto themselves. Your mission is simple: eliminate them all and restore balance to the system... for the right price.
This game is a love letter to classic, skill-based boss rushes. It focuses on tight controls, satisfying combat, and the incredible thrill of learning a boss's patterns and finally emerging victorious against all odds. The game is currently in active development.
