Nova

Press. Drag. Survive. NOVA is a one-finger arcade game about momentum. Every move takes a beat to commit to. That beat is the whole game. Collect motes to score. Chain pickups fast enough and your multiplier climbs — miss the window and the combo resets. • Blue motes — steady points • Green motes — big points, but teleport you somewhere random on the map. Could save you. Could drop you right next to a hunter. • Gold motes — the biggest score, and a shockwave that clears nearby hunters. Getting to one is the hard part. Hunters spawn from the edges and home in on you. More of them, faster, the longer you survive. There's no winning — just how long you last, and whether you beat your best. No timers, no lives, no ads mid-run. Tap in, chase the score, go again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Nova at every 3 days against SquareDash's monthly. Nova also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
