PS Vita release: osu!octave (osu! port for PS Vita)

Vita developer gl33ntwine has relased osu!octave for the PS Vita, a port of popular rhythm game osu!

What is osu! for PS Vita

osu! is a free-to-play rhythm game primarily developed, published, and created by Dean “peppy” Herbert. It is inspired by iNiS’ rhythm game Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, as well as more inspiration from games such as Taiko no Tatsujin, Beatmania IIDXElite Beat Agents, O2Jam, StepMania and DJMax.

osu!octave is a free and open source rhythm game designed to play osu!standard beatmaps, optimized for best performance and playability on PlayStation Vita.

Its core (as in, the very base of hit objects logic and some parts of architecture) is based on osu-ds, an unfinished osu! port to Nintendo DS made by Echo in 2009 and released under the BSD-2 license.
