## What is Nova Turret?

Your core is under attack. Dots are closing in from every direction — and your turret is the only thing standing between them and total breach.

Nova Turret is a pick-up-and-play idle shooter with real bite. Your turret auto-targets the nearest threat while you make the decisions that matter: which upgrade to buy, when to tap-fire a burst, and how deep into the waves you dare to go.

FIGHT
- Auto-targeting turret with satisfying recoil, muzzle flash, and screen shake
- Tap anywhere to fire manual bursts when the swarm gets thick
- Three enemy types — swarmers, speeders, and heavies that split when destroyed

UPGRADE
- Five in-run upgrades: Damage, Fire Rate, Multishot, orbiting Drones, and Bounty
- Permanent perks in the Core Store that make every future run stronger
- Earn a Core every 5 waves you survive — progress even when you lose
- Chase your best wave — every run ends with a shot at a new record

SURVIVE
- Waves scale endlessly — there is no final wave, only your limit
- Progress saves automatically, resume any run right where you left off
- Quick sessions, deep progression

No forced ads. No account. Just you, your turret, and the swarm.

Optional in-app purchases available for Gems, the premium currency.
