Contractor Hero (demo)

In this demo you play a Contractor in an urgency to meet his goal, collect the items, try not to hit obstacles and end the stage with the minimum amount of time.

This project is part of my journey into gamedev, I am just learning Godot with friends in São Carlos, SP Brazil, drinking coffee 2 times a week and having a blast.

This demo is the result of 2 months worth of learning and working, if you enjoy it and want to see more stages, please leave a rating. For the time being, I consider this a 1.0 and there are no planned major updates to it. If you feel that this has potential and that I should invest more into making it a full game, let me know in the comments if you can support me with that effort.

Please test it and leave your feedback here https://fczuardi.itch.io/contractor-hero/rate

The official release date of October 1st, 2025.
