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.

Read full description

You are a black hole. You start on a desk, and you are smaller than a crumb. Swallow anything lighter than you. Every bite makes you heavier, and heavier means the next thing up the ladder finally fits: the crumb, the paperclip, the coffee mug, the desk, the street, the city, the planet, the star, the galaxy. Nothing on screen is decoration - if it has a mass, you can eventually eat it. Anything too heavy tells you exactly how much too heavy. That refusal is the game: come back when you outweigh it. WHAT YOU DO - Drift into things. Bigger things need a bigger you. - Buy producers - companion holes, accretion disks, relativistic jets - that keep feeding while the app is closed. - Come back to a settlement of everything they swallowed while you were away. - Take on Trials: named opponents that push back, and only give in to a real effort. - Collect. Every object you have ever swallowed is named and kept in the codex - the collection, not the number, is what you are playing for. YOUR CHOICES - Optional rewarded videos offer extra in-game rewards. - The Supporter Pack includes a black hole skin, halo, and leaderboard badge. - Core gameplay works offline; ads and store purchases require a connection. An idle game where the fantasy is scale: the same hole that could not manage a breadcrumb on Tuesday is a problem for a galaxy by the weekend.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Supernova at 4.5 against Singularity's 3.6. Supernova also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (78 vs 8). Singularity's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
