The Full Version Features:

- Quick gameplay sessions (15-45 minutes) that allow for rapid experimentation, iteration, and advancement.

- Over 200 modular upgrades, unlocked over time, to create your ideal build with. Snipe, command a drone army, discharge your shields, charge up, burn enemies with your thrusters, or smash right through them... there's a way to make it work.

- Modular challenge modes to unlock and activate, providing greater risk and rewards. The stakes are high, as death is permanent!

- Every game is randomly generated, keeping the fight intense and unpredictable. Fight through the campaign or play endlessly...

Ratings and reviews

I love this game on pc, but the way to control the ship in this version is horrible and unintuitive. Would be much better to aim and propel the ship where you tap/hold on the screen. At least give us the option for different ways of controlling the ship. The two available options are pretty bad, thr joystick is considerably better, but still bad.

Great game! Glad to see companies still offering demos. Nova Drift combines action, a strategic upgrade system, complex enemies, and scoring... in space!!! After playing the demo for a while I bought the full version, and was not disappointed. It keeps getting better the more I play, and I love trying to beat my previous high scores.

Bought the full version pretty much immediately. What a game! I do recommend switching to virtual joystick if the controls feel weird and maybe tweaking the button sizes. There are a bunch of options to make the controls feel better than they feel at first!

What’s new

- Fix for when playing Draft, the upgrade button would be incredibly overscaled causing player to inadvertently open the upgrade screen
- Fix for construct buttons deploying more than 1 with the same tap
- Fix for a crash when having Blades or Swords
