NOVA RUN — one tap, one thumb, infinite replays. Fire your thrusters to climb, ease off to dive — thread your rocket through every gap before it's too late. Every tap gives you a real forward boost, just like a rocket firing its engines, so timing matters more than ever. FLY THROUGH FOUR ZONES Start at the Launch Pad and climb through Open Sky, the Stratosphere, and all the way into Deep Space. Each zone looks and feels completely different, with new obstacle styles and a fresh backdrop the deeper you fly. DODGE MORE THAN PIPES Watch out for the occasional meteor or tumbling rocket debris crossing your path — a curveball on top of the usual obstacle gaps. GRAB POWER-UPS - Shield — survive one hit - Laser — ten seconds of full-auto fire that vaporizes meteors and debris on contact - Magnet — auto-collect nearby coins - x2 Multiplier — double your coin haul - Path Clear — a rare power-up that blasts the way ahead and grants a few seconds of immunity CUSTOMIZE YOUR ROCKET Spend coins in the Shop on new paint jobs, thruster trail effects, rocket shapes, and pilot faces peeking out the window. Your progress and unlocks are saved right on your device. CHASE YOUR BEST SCORE Simple to learn, tough to master, and always just one more try away. How far can you fly? No account required. Just you, your rocket, and the void.
