NOVA is a neon survival arcade. You are a glowing core in a dark arena, and geometric enemies close in from every side: diamonds, rings, spikes, splitters and fast swarms. You move with one finger or WASD while your weapons fire on their own. The idea is simple and the run is brutal: stay alive as long as you can.
Kills drop glowing experience shards. Each level up is a choice: add a weapon, upgrade one you own, or take a passive for damage, speed, area or health. There are 10 weapons with distinct behavior: bolt, orbit, pulse, laser, spark, corona aura, arc chain, spear, sickle boomerang and a singularity that pulls enemies into one point.
A boss arrives every two minutes, and time phases make enemies tankier and deadlier. Coins from each run feed permanent upgrades: health, damage, magnet, experience and new weapons in the shop. There is a time based leaderboard, a revive for watching an ad, and two neon tracks to choose from. Portrait and landscape, PC and mobile.
How to play
1. Move: drag across the screen or use WASD. Your weapons auto target the nearest enemies and fire.
2. Pick up glowing shards from fallen enemies to gain experience.
3. On each level up, choose one card: a new weapon, a weapon upgrade or a passive.
4. Grab battle loot: a med kit to heal, a freeze that stops enemies, a magnet that pulls every shard, and coins.
5. A boss appears every two minutes. The longer you live, the stronger enemies get across phases.
6. If you fall, you can revive once by watching an ad. Spend run coins in the shop on permanent upgrades and new weapons.
Goal: survive as long as possible and climb the time leaderboard.
