Two weeks ago, I shared a Zelios recreation I didn't finish.
Today, I'm sharing a Contra recreation I did finish 🎬
The difference? I applied everything I learned from the first attempt—better pacing, gradient animations, dynamic text, and UI animations that actually flow.
Turns out the incomplete project was exactly what I needed to complete this one.
Sometimes progress isn't linear. Sometimes it's about taking what humbled you and using it to level up.
Credit to Contra.
