Earlier this week, KOEI announced the release of their unique DS game, Prey the Stars. The game features original art design by Japanese pop artist Touma, multiplayer capabilities, and very hungry main characters.

To begin, the player chooses one of four customizable, and very hungry, characters: Gabu, Bari, Chuchu, or Pero. The object of the game is to achieve a high score by eating anything and everything in sight keeping in mind that larger objects will net greater points. The player's character will "bite, lick, and suck" their way through levels as they search for "spirits" which are hidden in certain objects.

Up to four players can compete locally through single-card or multi-card play, and globally through the Nintendo WiFi Connection.

Prey the Stars is rated "E" for Everyone and is currently available across North America for suggested retail price of $29.99.
