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.
