The briefing

About this game

In I.C.U.P.S., aspiring special agents must pass two tests for the International Commission for Universal Problem Solving.

Gameplay

The first test is a top-down space battle. Piloting a spaceship, you face enemy craft with different attack patterns. You can fire upward or push enemies toward the edge of the screen.

After reaching the enemy starship, the game shifts to side-scrolling action. You control a jet-pack-equipped robot searching the large vessel for four scattered bomb parts while fighting insect-like enemies.
