Skydiving Extreme
This Natsume entry into the realm of extreme sports gaming puts the player in charge of a squad of highly-trained synchronized skydivers. As in reality, there is a short period between the time the diver leaves the plane and has to open his chute and the game's challenge comes in aligning the free-falling team members to form impressive formations before the time limit expires.
Players can lead their team in competition against a string of computer-controlled international contenders, or go head-to-head against a friend. Each squad can perform over 40 different formations and a practice mode allows the player to perfect his skills without the time limit.

About This Game
Four skydivers jump together. The clock starts counting down toward the altitude at which parachutes must be deployed. The goal is to complete more multi-person formations than the opponent before that moment arrives. Each formation requires the player to correctly enter a displayed button sequence in time; success slows the team's descent, buying more time. Filling the attack meter by completing formations lets the player force the opponent into a defensive formation — which, if failed, makes them fall faster. The game can be played in practice or two-player competitive mode.
