Nova: Retro Space Shooter

Defend against waves, face bosses — and a new challenge every day.

Nova is a retro-style arcade shooter. Offline, no account, no registration.

▸ THREE MODES

• WAVES — One formation per wave. The more you clear, the deeper it sinks. Every
fifth wave sends a boss instead of the formation.

• ENDLESS ONSTORM — A stream from above, one level harder every 18 seconds, a boss every
90 seconds. Your score is based on how long you can withstand it.

• ENDLESS FRONT — The formation is replenished from above. If you don't clear quickly enough,
the entire front advances one row towards you.

▸ TEN BOSSES

From the Ringlord to the Wrath Goddess to the Sickle Hunter — each with their own flight and
fire pattern. When you encounter them again, you'll experience them not only faster, but also differently.

▸ TWELVE ENEMIES

Each requires a different decision: the Shieldbearer initially covers himself completely and then only in the middle, the Miner blocks your escape route, the Incubator becomes more expensive the longer you wait, and the Burner warns you before burning its crevice.

▸ SIX ABILITIES

After each boss, you choose from three cards: Shockwave, Slow Motion, Ghost Ship, Salvage, Lance, or Rocket Burst. They remain active until the end of the match and recharge.

▸ STARS AND NOVA

Collecting stars in a row increases the score multiplier up to x8. The tenth star triggers the Nova: everything on the field is instantly incinerated.

▸ THE CHALLENGE OF THE DAY

A new setup every day: mode, level, and one of nine special rules—sometimes you start
with full force and only one life, sometimes with all your abilities against tougher opponents. You can learn the day's rules and play as often as you like; your best run is shown on the
global leaderboard. The calendar and streak show how many consecutive days you've played.

▸ WHAT ELSE NOVA CAN DO

• OFFLINE. The entire game is in the app.

• NO ACCOUNT. A three-letter code is all you need for the leaderboard.

• CONTINUE PLAYING. The game you were playing is still there the next time you start.

• STATISTICS. A history of your recent games, wave by wave.

• BACK UP. A text code transfers your game progress, leaderboards, and streak to a new device.

• THREE LEVELS, custom music, ship shape and color selectable, continuous fire on request.

NOTES

The app displays advertising: a banner and a full-screen ad after a match ends.

There are no in-app purchases.

Your game progress, leaderboards, and settings remain on your device. Only completing the
Daily Challenge sends your tag and score to the leaderboard.
