The Vita game library is still small, so Dokuro, out for download today, is a welcome addition. As a little skull man, you lead a princess across obstacles by arranging things just so. The game’s visuals are inspired by storybook illustrations.

The classic storybook style is clearly evident, but the team decided on a unique twist.
