Shady Contractor is a physics-based construction puzzler for people who can't stop sorting blocks in their head. It's like if Jenga and Tetris had a baby, then that baby asked you for $20.
Every job comes with a blueprint. Get close enough to pass inspection, or nail it for a fat quality bonus. 95% accuracy feels incredible. 100% is a legend nobody has seen. Anything less? Hey, it looks good from my house.
Rush the build for a time bonus. Skimp on materials. Take the skyscraper job you're definitely not ready for. Every shortcut pays more, until something falls off the site. Then OSHA shuts you down, and maybe your client will still throw you some money for whatever's left.
Recruit specialists who negotiate bigger payouts, clean up your "creative interpretations" of the blueprint, and scout better contracts. Buy new blueprints to unlock riskier, richer jobs. And if business goes south? Don't worry. You're too shady to fail.
Physics-based block stacking that rewards precision and tests your greed and ego
A full Career Mode with progression and unlocks
Dozens of construction contracts and blueprints to unlock
Upgradeable crew members with unique abilities
Classic Mode: build the tallest tower you can, timed or untimed
Custom blueprints for building your own jobs
Plenty of questionable engineering
Surprisingly few lawsuits
