California-based independent developer Tiki Games today announced the development of Novastrike, a downloadable original action title for the PlayStation Network. It will be a classic top-down shooter and will feature continued updates and content additions from time to time to keep the game fluid and changing.

Players will drive the experimental Scythe fighter, allowing free-roaming flight and multiple weapon variations to combat an armada of alien forces in the air and on land. It will have both ship and weapon upgrades and a slew of allied units.

The game will have support for DualShock 3 and will feature seven challenges. No multiplayer modes were mentioned. Novastrike is due out sometime later this year.
