Subspace Engine Project Development Team Comments

Dear retro game fans

Thanks to these functions, we can now reach the endings of games that we were unable to complete back in the day by ourselves.

While I say "rescue functions," I also believe that these functions allow us to try various things that we were too engrossed or desperate in the adventure at the time to try.

The ability to instantly redo things made it possible for me to say, "Huh? What happens if I do this? and "What would happen if I did this?

This also means more fun in game play.

For example, in the case of this lineup,

I want to try to succeed in Nusumu (pinball quest).

I want to see what happens when you lose in a push-wrestling match (Bio Warrior Dan)

I want to clear the stage while avoiding the butterfly of death (Yokai Club)

And so on and so forth.

In addition, special functions unique to each title are also included.

JALECOLLE" responds to your curiosity and challenges.

If you play by yourself, you are sure to discover something new.

We hope you will use the new features to enjoy every detail along the way and try to reach the ending.

By repeatedly retrying and connecting your own optimal solution, a super play is not just a dream.

We are waiting for you to become a "pioneer" of JALECOLE.

About JALECOLE

Subtitle guides make it easier to understand and fresher

The "Adventure Hints" feature displays tips for smooth adventures, and the "Subtitle Guide" function explains the effects of items in stores and other locations.

Furthermore, depending on the title, the Japanese version and the overseas version (English version) are included as 2-in-1, and "English translation of Japanese" and "Japanese translation of English" using the "subtitle guide" are also implemented.

This feature not only allows English-speaking users to enjoy Japanese titles that were not available overseas at the time, but also allows Japanese users to enjoy overseas (English) versions with a fresh perspective. They can also enjoy the differences in direction and expression, some of which may change depending on the language.

The "subtitle guide" can be optionally turned on or off.

Composer Daisuke Matsumoto is in charge of new music.



In "JARECOLE," a new title screen has been added. And at each title screen, newly arranged BGM will be played, and a special jingle will be played when the game is started up. These sounds will be provided by Daisuke Matsumoto, a composer who has created music for "Jajamaru's Specter Battle + Hell (2022)" and "Final Excelion (2023)" for City Connection. We hope you will enjoy this soulful arrangement, which was created based on the concept of connecting the past with the present and the present with the past, while utilizing the images and motifs of the original.

This pinball action game allows players to enjoy both the exhilarating and painful pinball operation and the RPG story at the same time!

The main mode is the quest mode "R-P-G," which incorporates innovative ideas and systems as a pinball game.

In addition, you can also play on three different boards, "POP! POP!", "VIVA! GOLF", and "CIRCUS", which are rich in variety.

In addition to the Japanese version, this title also includes an overseas version. By using the subtitle guide, the overseas version can be played in Japanese. It is also possible to play the Japanese version in English.

There are 6 stages in total. Earn points and save gold to purchase stoppers and flippers at the "Dark Shop" in the middle of the stage. While enjoying the RPG-like enhancement elements, defeat the bosses that await you in each stage, and aim for the top floor.
