About this game

Nova Blast is a casual, pachinko-inspired physics arcade game about one perfect shot. Aim, drop the ball, and watch it ricochet through fields of glowing pegs deep in space.

It only takes one thumb to play, and every bounce runs on a real physics engine, so every trick shot you pull off is one you actually earned. Easy to pick up, tricky to fully master.

How to play
Aim your launcher and drop the ball. Clear every orange peg on the board to beat the level. Blue pegs build a score multiplier as your shot keeps going, and a moving bucket at the bottom of the screen catches the ball for a free extra shot.

Feel the Supernova
Chain enough peg hits in a single shot and the game drops into Supernova, a dramatic slow motion moment that shows off exactly how good that shot really was. Before each level, unlock and equip power-ups that change how your ball behaves and open up new ways to clear the board.

Blast across the galaxy
Play through 36 levels spread across three distinct sectors of space: the Blue Nebula, the Ion Belt, and the Event Horizon. Take on boss levels along the way, and look forward to new levels arriving after launch with no app update required. Every level is built to be beatable, so if a board looks impossible, it isn't.

No ads, plays offline
Nova Blast has no ads, ever. The full game plays completely offline, so a weak signal or no wifi at all never gets in the way of a run. Compete on a global leaderboard that resets every week under a nickname you choose, and see how your best shots stack up against players around the world.

Free to play, fair by design
Nova Blast is free to play. Crystals, the game's single currency, are earned just by playing and can also be bought in optional packs if you want to move faster, but no purchase is ever required to finish a level. If you get stuck on a tough board, the game gives you free extra balls before it ever shows you an offer. Signing in with your Apple or Google account is optional too. It only backs up your progress across devices; you never need it to play.
