Enemy

Spacefish Jones is more glass cannon-oriented than Sunfish Jones, dealing up to 19,744 damage when first encountered and almost 30,000 in its strongest appearances. It also sports a Barrier with 12,000 HP, meaning it can survive longer against your weaker cats, plus a faster movement speed allowing it to advance easier.

Strategy

You can use Awakened Bahamut Cat to rush this enemy (preferably after breaking the Barrier), but if you don't time him properly, Bahamut can easily die from Spacefish Jones' attack.

Jamiera Cat or Crazed M. Titan Cat can tank multiple hits from Spacefish Jones, and the former can help to interrupt his attack animation. At high levels, Macho Leg Cat can also survive a hit and potentially even break Jones's Barrier.

After its Barrier is broken, a good unit would be Octopus Cat due to being resistant against him as well as being able to weaken him. Another good counter is Mekako Saionji: she is resistant to Aliens and can tank Spacefish Jones' attacks in her first form, and can do massive damage to Aliens and take Jones down in her True Form.

		A bioweapon bred by Space Doges for surprise attacks on Cat outposts. Invisible from the front, but since this game is in landscape mode, its stealth is not effective.

		A paper-thin bioweapon that drifts around the edges of the universe. Though its super-thin stealth body is almost invisible from the front, this game is viewed from the side, so it doesn't work.

Trivia

• Its Japanese name, Space Manborg (スペースマンボルグ), is a reference to the game Space Manbow (スペースマンボウ); note that manbō means "sunfish".
• Its design could be based on the Spadefish species as both Spacefish Jones and Sunfish Jones are very compressed and disk-shaped, hence the claim that Spacefish Jones is "invisible" when viewed at the front. In fact, 'Spacefish' and 'Spadefish' are only a single letter apart.
• Its description may be a vague reference to the Northrop Grumman B-2 stealth bomber, as it is mentioned in Sunfish Jones' entry, and Spacefish Jones also has a stealth-relevant design.
