NOVA STRIKER: Bullet Hell

A retro '90s-style vertical bullet-hell shooter you can play with one finger — free, and fully playable offline.

Weave through walls of bullets across 3 stages and massive boss battles. Skim past enemy fire to "graze" for score and bomb gauge, and turn the tables with screen-clearing bombs. Clear everything, and a hidden true battle awaits.

◆ Features

• Intuitive controls: drag to move, auto-fire, double-tap to bomb — one-handed play
• Graze system: near-misses are the path to high scores
• 3 stages + more: unique midbosses, bosses, and a hidden final boss
• Achievements & rankings: 14 achievements and global rankings (with per-language boards)
• Difficulty options: EASY / NORMAL / HARD
• 17 languages supported, works offline

◆ How to Play

1. Drag to move (your ship fires automatically)
2. Double-tap to trigger a bomb (clears enemy bullets)
3. Graze enemy bullets for bonus score
4. Watch a short video to revive after game over and push on for the clear

Note: This game contains flashing lights. Player discretion is advised for those with photosensitivity.

◆ Made for players who enjoy

• A retro arcade shooter, pixel art, neon lights, and a tense trip through space
• A quick game during a break, or a longer high-score and score-attack session at home
• Learning to dodge patterns with one hand in portrait mode instead of aiming every shot
• Starting on EASY, settling into NORMAL, then taking on the hardcore density of HARD

◆ A score run with choices NOVA STRIKER is a danmaku-style shmup where reading a pattern matters as much as reflexes. Your ship fires on its own, leaving you free to steer through the gaps. A close dodge earns graze and fills the bomb gauge, so a daring line can be worth more than a safe one. Spend a bomb to clear a crowded screen, or save it for a boss phase: each run is a chance to refine that decision.

◆ Reasons to return The three stages are built around distinct enemy waves, midbosses, and boss battles, culminating in the hidden final boss. Choose the pace that suits you: EASY introduces the flow, NORMAL rewards consistency, and HARD asks for careful routing through thicker bullet patterns. Chase all 14 achievements, improve your high-score, and compare results on global leaderboards with separate boards by language.

◆ Play on your terms This is a free single-player action game for portrait smartphones, designed for a few spare minutes or repeated practice. It works offline, so a connection is not required to fly and dodge. A rewarded video is offered only when you choose to revive after game over; there are no forced ads interrupting play. With drag movement, auto-fire, and a double-tap bomb, it stays focused on the arcade rhythm.

Price: Free (rewarded ads only — no forced ads) Supports: Smartphones (portrait)
