Novafall is an idle space-strategy game. Build a fleet, colonize 64 worlds across 16 sectors, and hold them against three rival empires. When a run slows down, ascend: the galaxy resets, and the Dark Matter you keep buys permanent upgrades for every run after. THREE RIVAL EMPIRES The Vex Hegemony, the Krillix Swarm and the Hollow Court each claim part of the map. Once your empire is big enough, they besiege your colonies and run spy operations against you. Invade their worlds, buy them outright, or sign a truce. Your government decides which of them treat you as kin and which as an enemy. WHAT'S IN IT • 30 ship classes, from the Probe Drone to the Omega Fleet • 64 planets: terran and ocean worlds, gas giants, mining, volcanic, crystal and relic worlds • Espionage: spy cells, counter-intelligence and a signature operation for each government • Five alien species you can win over with gifts, for alliances and tribute • Six wonders, a Senate with edicts, and a galactic stock market • Ten ministers you appoint to automate the empire one system at a time • NOVA, your ship's advisor, ranks what to do next ASCENSION • Spend Dark Matter on permanent upgrades that carry into every run • 8 challenge runs with handicaps, each giving a permanent yield bonus • A weekly galactic anomaly, and double Dark Matter from ascensions on weekends • 26 achievements, milestones and a 7-day supply drop HOW IT'S SOLD • No forced ads. The only ad is a sponsor broadcast you choose to watch for a bonus. • Purchases are optional. Dark Matter and warp time are earned by playing. The six Precursor Relics are the one thing only the shop provides. • Novafall does not track you and does not ask for tracking permission. • Your save backs up to your own iCloud. • Progress continues while you are away, and the game plays offline.
