Super Stardust Delta

Super Stardust Delta is a twin-stick shooter for the PS Vita. It was developed by Sony first-party studio Housemarque, which has never made a bad game. The premise is simple: you play as a ship that circles a spherical planet and shoot at asteroids and monsters. It's basically a modern version of the classic "Asteroid." 

In this version of Super Stardust you have two primary weapons - red and blue. Red tends to work very well on fiery asteroids, and blue does very well on ice asteroids. You can switch the weapons on the fly, and can earn upgrades for each of them. The red weapon fires like a flamethrower, and the blue weapon like the Spread Gun in "Contra." The gameplay is fast paced and the controls are tight. I really like the Super Stardust series and this game did not disappoint!
