Roll. Merge. Upgrade. Repeat. DiceIdle is a relaxing idle dice game where every tap rolls your dice and rains down coins. Merge matching dice into stronger ones, unlock a deep talent tree, and turn a single D4 into a roaring board of D20s. TAP TO ROLL, WATCH THE COINS FALL Tap any die to roll it. Higher faces pay more. Hold and drag to roll everything inside your tap radius at once — the more dice on the table, the bigger the payout. MERGE YOUR WAY UP Combine three identical dice to forge the next level. Level up your dice for higher values, brighter looks, and faster income. SIX CLASSIC DICE TYPES Begin with the humble D4 and work your way through D6, D8, D10, D12, and the legendary D20. Each type carries its own value, style, and upgrade path. A TALENT TREE THAT REMEMBERS Sacrifice your dice to recycle them into crystals, then spend them across a 30-node talent tree. Boost global income, slash dice prices, raise crit chance and crit damage, start every run stronger, and more. Every reset makes the next run faster. UNLEASH POWERFUL EFFECTS - Critical Hits and Mega Crits — a crit inside a crit that multiplies income by x100 - Chain Lightning — a critical hit charges a nearby die for x4 on its next roll - Resonance — a settling die triggers others of the same type to roll - Auto Throw and Multi Throw — let the dice roll themselves while you plan your next move PLAYS WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Auto Throw keeps the board rolling, so progress never stops just because you put the phone down. COMPLETE QUESTS, EARN MORE Roll, merge, crit, and spend your way through rotating quests that fuel your next prestige. BUILT FOR MOBILE - One-handed play - Progress saved automatically - No internet required - Available in multiple languages Whether you want a quick burst of satisfying rolls or a long, optimized prestige grind, DiceIdle scales to how you like to play. Start tapping — your dice empire is one roll away.

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.

Supernova's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
