One tap. A perfect orbit. One more try. Launch into Nova Swing, a space arcade game where timing turns a tiny ship into a streak of starlight. Swing around a planet, choose your moment, and tap to launch toward the next orbit. Catch it cleanly, build your Flow, and see how far your next run can take you. FIND YOUR FLOW Chain perfect captures for growing score bonuses. Thread the gap between a flawless landing and a close call, then chase a new personal best with an instant restart. BEND YOUR ROUTE THROUGH SPACE Choose safer paths or take on riskier routes for bigger rewards. Navigate moving planets, binary systems, asteroids, crossing meteors, and black holes as five zones bring tighter captures and faster flight. MAKE THE EXTRAORDINARY JUMP Ride slingshot planets into a burst of speed. Travel through wormholes. Time your arrival through the reinforced arc of a fragile crystalline world. Charge your Warp Drive and hold to surge across multiple planets. BUILD A FLIGHT THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS Choose from four ships, each with its own signature starter, and earn ship mastery through play. Discover four visual themes: Neon Frontier, Clockwork Aether, Pixel Pulse, and Classic Vector. Collect credits during your runs to unlock additional ships and themes permanently. GIVE EVERY RUN A PURPOSE Pick a run objective, pursue milestones, and track your captures, streaks, near misses, distance, and warp passes. Save a ghost run and race it to see where you can improve. Take your scores and achievements to Game Center. Made for iPhone and iPad, with luminous space scenery, responsive haptics on supported devices, and an in-game soundtrack player. Your next great run starts with one tap.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nova Swing at none against Mining Master's shown. Nova Swing also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Mining Master's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.5 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Nova Swing holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mining Master has 3.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Mining Master ships an update every 5 days, Nova Swing every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
