StarDrone Extreme (PSV)

In StarDrone Extreme, you pilot the always-in-motion spaceship through diverse cosmic environments to beat each of the game's 60 levels and goals. Goals can range from getting to the end of the level, to destroying all enemies, to collecting certain items.

Each level starts by aiming and shooting yourself into outer space from a cannon. Your spaceship is always in motion, and it's your job to attach to nearby gravity beacons to navigate. While tethered, you can swing and attempt to circle the beacon until you release and slingshot yourself further. This brings elements of shoot-'em-ups, pinball, collecting objects and exploration.

You can switch to using the rear touch panel, if you'd like. There are two modes for rear touch panel controls. One is similar to using the touch-screen, and another one uses the rear touch panel as a single button. When you tap somewhere, the game automatically selects the most likely beacon.

StarDrone Extreme is available for PlayStation Vita for $3.99.
