Nova is a comet that never stops moving, and gravity never stops pulling. Draw glowing lines with your finger to catch her, carry her, and launch her across the sky. Ride your rails, bank off islands, ride geyser updrafts, and thread the storm. • Ten neon worlds, each with its own hazards and feel. • A roster of comets, each with a real environmental edge: fireproof, updraft rider, gravity-well slipper, and more. • Comet Mods and a permanent Comet Lab to tune your run. • Flight School teaches three line shapes and names your moves, CARRY and LAUNCH, while you practice. • Daily Challenge, missions, and Game Center leaderboards. • No ads, ever. The optional one-time Supernova Edition adds a permanent comet, a cosmetic wake, and faster flight earnings. How far can you fly?
