Fuse hydrogen into a living star. Grow it. Then blow it up — on purpose. SUPERNOVA is a premium-feel idle game about running a cosmic forge. Tap to spark fusion, build 12 generators from Hydrogen Wisp to Singularity Seed, and watch your star physically evolve — protostar, blue giant, red supergiant — until it is ready to collapse. Detonating it is the point: every supernova grants Neutron Cores, permanent power that makes each new universe faster than the last. WHY YOU'LL STAY • Real progress while you're away — production continues offline (extend the cap up to 24 hours with research), and a welcome-back doubler greets your return • A star that actually changes — five visual stages, rendered live, no canned art • Prestige that feels like a finale — a hand-built supernova cinematic, then a stronger start • Numbers that get gloriously big — Million, Septillion, and far beyond • Milestones every few minutes early on, deep multiplier stacking later • Daily missions and streaks that respect your time • 20 research upgrades that shape every run FAIR BY DESIGN • No ads. None. • No energy bars, no forced waits, no progress walls • Fully offline — no account, no sign-in, no internet required • Nothing collected, nothing tracked • Optional purchases exist (time warps, photons, a one-time Supporter Pack), and the entire game is balanced to be completed without spending anything THE LOOP 1. Tap your star and let generators forge Stardust 2. Hit ownership milestones — each one doubles a generator's output 3. Buy research, stack a Photon Surge boost, fill your Piggy Bank 4. Reach collapse readiness... and go SUPERNOVA 5. Keep your Neutron Cores forever. Start again, faster. Built by a solo developer in SwiftUI and SpriteKit. Every pixel is procedural — no asset packs, no stock art. Dark theme, tuned haptics, Reduce Motion respected. Your first universe is waiting. It starts with one atom.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hammer the Hit at 5.0 against Supernova's 4.5. Hammer the Hit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Supernova's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hammer the Hit sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Supernova sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hammer the Hit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Supernova has 77 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Hammer the Hit's written reviews are positive against 78% of Supernova's.
Hammer the Hit ships an update every 4 weeks, Supernova every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
