START WITH A SYNAPSE. END WITH SUPERINTELLIGENCE. Tap the neural network. Generate impulses. Buy generators. Unlock abilities. Trigger Collapse - and rebuild even stronger. Neural Clicker is a deep idle clicker game where every mechanic is inspired by real brain science. TAP & GENERATE Tap the network to earn Impulses. 12 generators automate production. ABILITIES TO MASTER - Neural Spike - burst ×2 for 30 seconds - Cryo Signal - freeze the network; swipe frozen pulses worth ×5 IPS - Simulation - Matrix mode; click flashing impulses worth ×10 IPS - Cascade Coupling - click a chain of active nodes before time runs out - Network Emergence - collect 30 seconds of IPS in one tap (cooldown 5 min) - Quantum Jump - skip ahead 1 hour of production instantly - Overload - ×3 generators for 30s, then 15s refraction - Membrane Excitability - cut all cooldowns by 25% NETWORK SYNERGIES Manually connect generator nodes to discover hidden bonuses. Synergy combinations are secret - explore to find powerful paths. Each active connection boosts global IPS. UPGRADE TREES Three upgrade trees - Impulse, Network, Adaptation - unlock 32+ mechanics: critical hits (up to ×8!), avalanche depolarization, synaptic echo, offline auto-spikes, dormant potential bursts on app return, and more. PRESTIGE & IQ SHOP When your network reaches critical density, trigger Collapse and earn Quantum Impulses. Spend them in the IQ Shop for permanent upgrades that carry through every rebirth cycle. IDLE OFFLINE EARNINGS Generators keep working while you're away. Unlock REM Phase for a +10% offline bonus. Hypnagogic Noise fires an auto-spike every hour offline. Return to a full buffer. FEATURES - 12 generators from Synapse to Self-Awareness - 32 global upgrades across 3 skill trees - 15 IQ prestige upgrades - 8 active abilities with cooldowns - Node network with manual connections & hidden synergies - Critical hit system - up to 30% chance and ×8 power - Prestige loop with Quantum Impulses - Offline idle production with expandable buffer - Real neuroscience behind every upgrade - No energy system - play at your pace - English, Polish, German, Spanish, French EVOLVE YOUR NETWORK. TRIGGER COLLAPSE. ASCEND.

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 call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Neural Clicker at none against Supernova's 10. Neural Clicker also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Supernova's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
