Sky & Rica Overview
Sky & Rica is a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up distinguished by its colorful, stylized visuals. The setting is Astro, a world where the computer Lucifer once maintained order until Dr. Saradin seized control and unleashed hostile creations.
Players take on the roles of Sky or Rica, who pilot an experimental craft to oppose Saradin. The game supports both solo play with one character and a cooperative mode where two players control both protagonists simultaneously. Across seven themed stages, enemies attack from the air and ground.
Gameplay involves collecting power-ups that modify the default weapon, enabling shots in multiple directions and increasing firepower. Additional support comes from selectable "options," orbs that attach to the craft and provide assistance in combat.
