Super Stardust Ultra

Super Stardust Ultra is basically a slightly upgraded version of the PS3 game Super Stardust HD, and is made by the fine folks that made Resogun and Super Stardust Delta.  It's a twin stick shooter where you play on a spherical surface.  Various asteroids and monsters enter the playfield and you try to explode them all.  You have three main weapons, and each object is weak to one of those weapons.  You can upgrade your weapons as you go along.  At first you will play in order to survive the five levels in the game, but the replay value comes in attempting the harder difficulties and in trying to get a high score.

 

This version of the game comes with some bonus soundtracks, including an orchestral version of the music and the music that came in the original version of Stardust back in the 90s. I've included a video with all of the regular music, which doubles as a showcase for the entire game.  It's a simple game but it's great fun!
