Your journey starts on Earth. How far can you go? Ride as NOVA and race along a twisting road through the solar system. Switch between four surfaces, dodge meteor storms, fight alien hunters and take flight when the road is no longer enough. EVOLVE YOUR RIDE Earn eight garage tiers through play, from Rookie to Event Horizon. Track your next unlock, inspect bike abilities and equip the ride that fits your next run. Unlock heat venting, Runner Momentum, guided missiles, orbital protection, a siege beam, phase drive and a deployable singularity as you progress. Each equipped bike brings its own ability, while turbo energy chains work with every motorcycle. EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN Travel past planets, enter rifts and survive the pull of a black hole. Discover alien encounters and push toward 50 km and beyond. MASTER EVERY SURFACE Move between lanes, switch track surfaces, aim your shots and time your turbo. Learn the controls through a short interactive introduction, then challenge your personal best. CALL YOUR SQUAD Reach 10 km to unlock support from Earth. Bring a flight team into the fight when the pressure rises. BUILT FOR YOUR JOURNEY Play in English, Turkish, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German or French. Adjust controls, graphics, sound and music. Optional flight reminders invite you back without interrupting an active run. Core gameplay works offline; purchases and rewarded ads require an internet connection. ION RUSH is free to play with optional consumable NOVA packs. NOVA has no cash value and is used only in the game. Your progress and NOVA balance are stored on this device. Deleting the app removes local progress and unused NOVA; consumed purchases cannot be restored after deletion. No account is required. Diagnostics and ad measurement can be controlled in Settings.
