This bright and colourful 2D platformer has players controlling a girl named Nico as she explores the Spica star system, armed with a parasol a la Parasol Stars.
Her umbrella is a versatile tool that she can use in a variety of different ways: she can slow her fall using it, float across water, use it as a shield to block enemy attacks, or even use it as vaulting pole to fling herself around stages.
The bright stages take her through different planets in the Spica system where she encounters many exotic enemies.
Stages branch after completion, allowing the player to select their next destination from a couple of choices.
The stages are built to be traversed as quickly as possible with the umbrella, as a large screen-filling robot will start to pursue the heroine if she spends too long in any one stage.
It is impossible to talk about Spica Adventure without mentioning how much it takes from other games including Taito’s own classics like Bubble Bobble, Liquid Kids, New Zealand Story, and even more so, it plays like a distant relative of Umihara Kawase.
The game has time limit for reaching the end of the stages, If the player runs out of time, he's chased by a giant robot with red eyes of death and a monitor, it is a one-hit killer.
You need to collect all the gems for bonus points or grow flower along every part of the game that permits too,yes Nico our protagonist grows flowers were it walks.

Interestingly, one of aspects of interest for some might be the music composed by Hiroki Yamamoto and Sayoko Ueda of “Zuntata”, Taito’s in-house band. The music consists of a unique soundscape full of poppy synths and quirky melodies.

The game is pretty simple, but it can be very hard in some stages and single player only.
