Fuse hydrogen into a living star. Grow it. Then blow it up — on purpose. SUPERNOVA is a premium-feel idle game about running a cosmic forge. Tap to spark fusion, build 12 generators from Hydrogen Wisp to Singularity Seed, and watch your star physically evolve — protostar, blue giant, red supergiant — until it is ready to collapse. Detonating it is the point: every supernova grants Neutron Cores, permanent power that makes each new universe faster than the last. WHY YOU'LL STAY • Real progress while you're away — production continues offline (extend the cap up to 24 hours with research), and a welcome-back doubler greets your return • A star that actually changes — five visual stages, rendered live, no canned art • Prestige that feels like a finale — a hand-built supernova cinematic, then a stronger start • Numbers that get gloriously big — Million, Septillion, and far beyond • Milestones every few minutes early on, deep multiplier stacking later • Daily missions and streaks that respect your time • 20 research upgrades that shape every run FAIR BY DESIGN • No ads. None. • No energy bars, no forced waits, no progress walls • Fully offline — no account, no sign-in, no internet required • Nothing collected, nothing tracked • Optional purchases exist (time warps, photons, a one-time Supporter Pack), and the entire game is balanced to be completed without spending anything THE LOOP 1. Tap your star and let generators forge Stardust 2. Hit ownership milestones — each one doubles a generator's output 3. Buy research, stack a Photon Surge boost, fill your Piggy Bank 4. Reach collapse readiness... and go SUPERNOVA 5. Keep your Neutron Cores forever. Start again, faster. Built by a solo developer in SwiftUI and SpriteKit. Every pixel is procedural — no asset packs, no stock art. Dark theme, tuned haptics, Reduce Motion respected. Your first universe is waiting. It starts with one atom. ## Key features - Fuse hydrogen to create and grow stars - Offline progress and production - Visually evolving star stages - Prestige system with supernova cinematics - Deep multiplier stacking and research upgrades - Daily missions and streaks - Fully offline gameplay ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Time Warp: 4 Hours | $1.99 | one-time | | Time Warp: 7 Days | $14.99 | one-time | | 50 Photons | $0.99 | one-time | | Time Warp: 24 Hours | $4.99 | one-time | | Automation Core | $3.99 | one-time | | Supporter Pack | $4.99 | one-time | | 1600 Photons | $19.99 | one-time | | 300 Photons | $4.99 | one-time | | 700 Photons | $9.99 | one-time | | Break the Piggy Bank | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (8 of 8) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/supernova-idle-star-forge/id6779555607/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Fun but too short *2026-08-18* Was a fun game until I reached the top of the leaderboard in less than 4 hours, would continue playing if there was more to do ### 5/5 — Titleist *2026-08-13* ❤️🫶🏿🫶🏽🫶🏼🕺🫶🏼🫶🏻🫶❤️ **Developer response:** blakeidle, we love your hearts 🥰 they went straight to ours ❤️ Also: sorry for calling you "Titleist" last time. That was the title of your review, not you. Fixed! More seriously, we work on this game with everything we have, and a message like yours genuinely makes us smile in real life. The next update rebalances the whole supernova loop and adds Forge Works, somewhere to finally spend those Neutron Cores. Thank you for forging with us 🫶 Supernova, with love and a geeky heart ❤️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Titleist *2026-08-06* ❤️🫶🏿🫶🏽🫶🏼🕺🫶🏼🫶🏻🫶❤️ **Developer response:** Dear Titleist, We love your hearts 🥰 they’re going straight to ours! ❤️ More seriously, I’m at a point in my life where I’m working like crazy on this game, with all the love I have for it, to make all our users as happy as possible. Thank you again for your support. It really means a lot to us. Stupid but Every message like this make me smile in real life for true 🫶 thank a lot Supernova, with love and a geeky heart ❤️⭐️ ### 4/5 — Pretty fun game *2026-08-05* Been enjoying it all day so far but boy does it make my phone hot. **Developer response:** Dear @JTGibbs, We are really happy you are enjoying Supernova! 🫶 Your phone loved it a little too much and tried to become a star itself 😂 You are absolutely right though, that is definitely not the goal! So we went looking, and you found something real. The forge was drawing the star at your screen's full refresh rate, up to 120 frames every second, for hours on end. It is now capped far below that, it steps down further when your iPhone tells us it is getting warm or is in Low Power Mode, and the scene stops animating entirely while you are on another tab. Same star, a lot less heat. 🧊 Our goal is to give you the maximum number of stars ⭐️ while making the experience as fun as possible, and that update should reach you within a week or two. One more thing. The hottest sky in the game is getting a name, and it is going to be yours. 🔥 Thanks again for the feedback and for playing! 🚀 The geeky and lovely team of Supernova 🌟 ### 1/5 — Takes all of 30 minutes to complete, don’t bother *2026-08-03* Yeah basically you can beat this game in 30 minutes. Also leaderboard is broken, and ALSO integer overflow breaks this game, you are already at stupid infinitely large numbers within minutes and the game can’t handle it. **Developer response:** Okay @mileslacey07, "don't bother" stung a little 😅 Then we went and measured it, and you were correct on all three counts, so mostly we just sat here quietly for a while. You said thirty minutes. We simulated an entire career against the engine, and by the fortieth detonation a run was lasting three seconds. You said "stupid infinitely large numbers": the cores a supernova paid out were scaling with the cores you already had, so the bank doubled every single time until it snapped 64-bit arithmetic and took the whole app down with it 💥 You said the leaderboard was broken: anything past a billion falls outside the range the board is configured for, so Game Center was quietly binning your score and never saying a word. Three sentences, three real bugs, zero false positives. Our QA process is now essentially "what would @mileslacey07 say" 🔍 So here is what happened to the game 🪜 The generator ladder no longer ends. Past the Singularity Seed it keeps going: Tachyon Braid, Vacuum Bloom, Axion Halo, Monopole Reef, Chronon Cascade, and on down into the dark as far as you can climb. The supernova threshold now rises with your power instead of standing still, so a run has to reach deeper than the last one rather than simply getting cheaper. Payouts are capped, scores are clamped into range, and any save the old maths inflated is repaired the moment it loads 🛠️ And then there is this ✨ The constellation at the very end of that endless ladder, charted at 100 supernovae, is called The Ouroboros, the serpent eating its own tail 🐍, which felt uncomfortably apt for a game that used to eat itself. It now carries your name, permanently, in the sky. @mileslacey07 is up there for good, and it arrives in the update right after this one 🌌 It takes rather more than thirty minutes these days ⏳ If you ever wander back and it holds up, that lonely first star does have four friends it has never met ⭐⭐⭐⭐ but honestly, no pressure @mileslacey07: you got the fix either way, and we got a much better game out of it 💜 The geeky and lovely team of Supernova 🌟 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-03* This game is amazing. Why can’t all clickers be this? **Developer response:** @pthd420 that is genuinely the nicest possible way to put it 💜 We may have printed it out. 1.2.1 is on the way and it goes deep 🪜 The generator ladder no longer stops at the Singularity Seed but keeps going as far as you can climb, the supernova threshold rises with your power so late runs stay a real climb instead of collapsing into seconds, and there are twelve constellations to chart now rather than eight ✨ Two of those charts are named after players who sent us the bug reports that made this update happen. Come find them out past the Gate, @pthd420 🌌 Forge on 🌟 The geeky and lovely team of Supernova 🌟 ### 4/5 — Great game, just some bugs *2026-08-02* The game is great but after a while you reset so much times that there’s not a lot to do after a point. And iv detonated so much times that when I try again my game jst closes completely, the game is fun just not so fun after a while and there’s nothing new to do. **Developer response:** @Kai_den1273 you found a real one, and the detail about having detonated so many times is exactly what made it reproducible 🔍 The cores a supernova paid out were scaling with the cores you already had, so the bank doubled every detonation until it overflowed and the app closed on launch. And because the save reloaded perfectly fine, it closed again on every single retry 💥 The other half of your review had the very same cause. Because power grew that fast and the generator ladder stopped dead at twelve tiers, runs collapsed to seconds and there was nothing left to reach for. You were right that there was nothing new to do: there genuinely wasn't any more sky. In 1.2.1 the ladder no longer ends 🪜 Past the Singularity Seed it keeps going as far as you can climb, the supernova threshold rises with your power instead of standing still, payouts are capped, and saves already past the ceiling are repaired when they load, so yours should open again 🛠️ And past the Singularity Gate there is now a new constellation called The Loom ✨ "Thread by thread, the sky reweaves what you burned." It is dedicated to you: @Kai_den1273 is written into that chart for good 🌌 Thank you for staying with it long enough to find the edge of the game 💜 The geeky and lovely team of Supernova 🌟 ### 5/5 — جيد *2026-07-12* جيد جدا جدا **Developer response:** عبدالله علي انضم هاشمي، شكرًا جزيلًا على تقييمك بخمس نجوم! 🌟 سعداء جدًا لأن Supernova نالت إعجابك. نواصل العمل على اللعبة كل أسبوع. في التحديث القادم: توازن جديد لدورة المستعر الأعظم، وورشة جديدة تتيح أخيرًا إنفاق أنوية النيوترونات على تحسينات دائمة. إذا كانت لديك أي فكرة أو ملاحظة، فنحن نقرأ كل شيء 🚀⭐️ فريق Supernova ## Frequently asked questions about Supernova ### What is Supernova: Idle Star Forge?

This indicates it is suitable for young children and generally family-friendly content. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.2.6 — 2026-08-18 1.2.6 — THE LAST OF THE UNTRANSLATED SCREENS Constellation effect lines, sky unlock requirements, all nine research effect descriptions, constellation lore and its dedications, and the research badges were built in a way that never looked up a translation — so they rendered in English even where the rest of the app did not. Caught by opening the app in Japanese and reading it, and fixed. FROM 1.2.5 (A FIRST ON MAC) • The supernova bar now follows your real production, so a run no longer ends in seconds • New: Forge Works, twelve permanent upgrades paid for in Neutron Cores • Spent cores keep counting toward the production multiplier ### 1.2.5 — 2026-08-17 1.2.5 — THE SUPERNOVA LOOP After a few supernovae a whole run could be over in seconds, and all that was left to do was buy the same matter again. A player reported it, we reproduced it, and this release fixes it. • The supernova requirement now scales with what you actually produce instead of with the number of Neutron Cores banked, so a run takes a real session however you choose to play. • Most of a run is now spent reaching depth you have never reached before, rather than re-buying what you already owned. • Auto-buy now opens new tiers instead of stopping at the ones you have. NEUTRON CORES FINALLY HAVE A USE Forge Works: twelve permanent upgrades paid for in Neutron Cores, from 5 to 300. • Every run starts with tiers already built • Faster auto-buy • Research that survives a supernova • More cores from every supernova Spent cores keep counting toward the production multiplier. Forging never weakens you. ### 1.2.4 — 2026-08-13 1.2.4 — STABILITY Fixed a crash that could close the game during play. It could happen on any screen, so if the game ever vanished on you mid-session, this is that. Also in this release: a pass over the Store, the ranking and the mission screens, and the seven translated languages now cover every screen rather than just the names inside the game. ### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-12 NEW IN 1.2.3 — A RANKING YOU CAN WIN The Neutron Cores board is weekly now, the forge stands against a sky you choose, and a Time Warp bought mid-supernova finally pays out. A RANKING YOU CAN WIN The board counts only the Neutron Cores you bank during the current week. Every Monday it clears and everyone starts from zero, so the top of the table is something you climb to this week instead of something settled long ago. Your lifetime total is untouched. 22 SKIES TO COLLECT The forge is now drawn against whichever sky you choose. Some are earned by play, some cost photons, one rotates every month, and three come with the Supporter Pack. They react to the run: the hue shifts as your star grows, the nebula blooms during a frenzy. None of them change a single number. Look under More › Skies. SEVEN NEW LANGUAGES Supernova now speaks Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese — every generator, research project, constellation, achievement and sky name included. FIXES WORTH NAMING • A Time Warp bought during a supernova used to pay out nothing. It now pays exactly what it promised, and it survives the app being closed mid-detonation. • Core Resonance was quietly making runs slower. It is a real upgrade now. • Offline earnings past 24 hours were silently capped at 24. They aren't any more. • The app runs far cooler. The frame rate is capped, and steps down as soon as your device warms up. ACCESSIBILITY Reduce Motion is honored everywhere, including the star scene. The largest text sizes now fit on the supernova and welcome-back screens. VoiceOver announces milestones and purchases. Several controls got full-size tap targets. Forge on. ### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-06 CHARTED FOR A PLAYER The constellation at the very end of the endless ladder, The Ouroboros at 100 supernovae, now carries the name of mileslacey07, whose review timed the whole game at thirty minutes and was right. It sits opposite The Loom, named for Kai_den1273. The night sky remembers its forgers. NEW IN 1.2.2 — THE LADDER NO LONGER ENDS • Generators past the Singularity Seed: Tachyon Braid, Vacuum Bloom, Axion Halo and deeper still. The ladder keeps going as far as you can climb. • Late runs are a real climb again. The supernova threshold now scales with your power instead of standing still, so each detonation has to reach further than the last. • Fixed: banked Neutron Cores could overflow and close the game on launch, every time. Saves caught by it are repaired when they load. • Fixed: leaderboard scores past a billion were silently rejected, freezing your rank. • Four more constellations past the Singularity Gate, and a new Game Center achievement for charting the whole sky. Thank you to the players who reported all of this in detail. You were right about every part of it. ## More apps by HUGO ANATOLE PAUL MORICEAU - [Neo Run Cube: Neon Runner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/neo-run-cube-neon-runner/id6753875405) - [OSHI: Offline Messenger](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oshi-offline-messenger/id6753926350) - [PicSwipe: Photo&Video Cleaner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/picswipe-photo-and-video-cleaner/id6755610331) - [FieldNote: Inspection Reports](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fieldnote-inspection-reports/id6778972333) - [Chiche - Road Trip Challenges](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chiche-road-trip-challenges/id6779551915) All apps by HUGO ANATOLE PAUL MORICEAU: https://appshunter.io/developer/1845368412 ## Related topics [simple games idle](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/simple-games-idle) · [military games idle](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/military-games-idle) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
