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 🌟 ### 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 ### 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 🌟 ### 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 — 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.

Stupid but Every message like this make me smile in real life for true 🫶 thank a lot Supernova, with love and a geeky heart ❤️⭐️ ### 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 🌟 ### 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 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
