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 review sentiment: Supernova at 90% against Sushi Idle's 33%. Supernova also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). Sushi Idle's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price 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. Supernova sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Sushi Idle asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sushi Idle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Supernova has 52 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Sushi Idle's written reviews are positive against 90% of Supernova's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sushi Idle ships an update every 6 weeks, Supernova every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
