A pixel-art space shooter for PS Vita, written in C++17. It is a native port of Space Shooter Remastered (Phaser 3) with the same campaign, ships, enemies and bosses. Every sprite and every sound is generated by code at startup: the game ships with no image or audio files
# Shooter Space v1.1.0 — PS Vita
Full parity with the web version (Phaser): every screen, ship, enemy and boss from the original, now running natively on PS Vita.
**Install:** copy `ShooterSpace.vpk` to your console and install it with VitaShell (Title ID `SHTR00001`, version 01.10). If you have v1.0 installed, uninstall it first. Your previous high score is kept.
## What's new
### Screens
- **Main menu:** difficulty (Easy / Normal / Hard), Continue from the saved sector or New Game, high score, plus music, SFX and language toggles.
- **Hangar:** 5 ships (Vanguard, Striker, Phantom, Bulwark, Nova) with their original art, unique ability and stats.
- **Guide:** power-ups, enemies and bosses.

### Gameplay
- 10-sector campaign that autosaves at the start of each sector.
- Combos (x1.5 / x2 / x3), critical hits and 7 power-ups: shield, rapid fire, spread shot, missiles, drone, magnet and Hyper Bomb.
- Full enemy roster, where each color means an ability: drones, gunships, lancers, shielded pods, spreaders, splitting spiders, blinkers, kamikazes, laser ships, asteroids and mines.
- All 10 bosses with their own attacks: telegraphed beams, turrets, shield orbs, decoys, swarms, a gravity vortex and a 3-phase final boss.
- Per-sector scenery and effects (asteroids, plasma, rings, structures, lightning, pulse).
- Full HUD: score, combo, lives, bombs, power-up timers, sector progress and boss health bar.
### Presentation
- Press Start 2P font on all text.
- Spanish and English; on first launch the game follows the system language.
- Procedural music: menu theme, combat theme with its own tempo per sector (faster during boss fights), and victory and defeat jingles.
- Every sound effect from the web version.
- Trophies persist between sessions.
