Novabolt is a fast-paced twin-stick space survival game. Pilot your fighter jet against relentless waves of enemies, level up your arsenal, and trigger the screen-wide NOVA beam to turn the tide. HOW TO PLAY Use the left joystick to fly, the right joystick to aim and fire. Destroy enemies to earn XP and charge your NOVA meter. Level up to choose powerful upgrades. Survive as long as you can. WEAPONS & UPGRADES Unlock and upgrade 6 unique weapons: - Scatter Cannon: fires 3 laser blasts in a wide arc - Pulse Cannon: rapid-fire bursts at 4 shots per second - Homing Missile: self-guided rockets that seek the nearest target - Force Field: an energy ring that shreds nearby enemies continuously - Plasma Rocket: detonates on impact, blasting all enemies in range - EMP Burst: slows enemies to 40% speed for 2 seconds Every level-up lets you choose from 3 upgrade cards — boost weapon damage, fire rate, move speed, or supercharge your NOVA beam. BOSS FIGHTS Every 10 levels a massive boss drops in. Take down the Dreadnought or face the Void Tyrant — a three-cannon warship that fires spreading volleys and enrages at low health. 3 PHASES OF DESTRUCTION Defeat bosses to unlock new phases. Enemies transform from organic asteroid creatures into mechanical steel warriors and finally into void-corrupted nightmares. CUSTOMIZE YOUR SHIP Spend NOVA coins earned each run in the shop: - 6 ship skins including Ice Falcon, Flame Hawk, and Void Phantom - 4 shield skin colours - 4 Nova beam colours including Inferno, Void Pulse, and Eclipse Can you reach the Void Tyrant?
