▍About Spica Adventure

Play as Nico, a little girl clad in pink and armed with the iconic yellow parasol from Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III.

Use this umbrella to dispatch your foes by charging at them firing at them, and even for traversal by gliding across water and spring upwards when perched against a wall. As a touched-up port of the arcade game, this means you’ll need to clear each stage as quickly and as skillfully as possible while under a time limit, and if time runs out you’ll be chased by a gigantic monster that covers the screen! Once you’ve completed one stage, you’ll be quickly sent to the next with little downtime!

The game comes with an online leaderboard for you to compete against other players, various difficulties, and music composed by Taito’s team Zuntata.
