## What is Nova Blaster?

NOVA BLASTER is a fast, vertical arcade shoot ’em up built for quick runs, precise dodging, and one-more-try high-score chasing. Blast through aggressive formations, graze enemy fire to build your combo, collect powerful upgrades, and face giant multi-phase bosses.

MASTER YOUR ARSENAL

CHASE THE PERFECT RUN

• Chain kills into escalating streak bonuses
• Collect seven power-up types, including shields, orbiting pods, extra lives, and speed boosts
• Enter bonus stages every ten waves
• Submit your best score and climb the global Game Center leaderboard

PURE ARCADE PRESENTATION
• Crisp neon visuals, parallax starfields, scanlines, explosions, and screen shake
• More than 100 procedural sound effects
• Touch controls built for mobile play
• Offline play supported
• No ads and no account required
