NOVA BLASTER: Space Shooter

NOVA BLASTER is a retro arcade space shooter for players who miss real coin-op shoot 'em ups. Blast through waves of alien fighters, weave through bullet hell patterns, and take down screen-filling bosses. It plays fully offline, with no ads, no energy timers and no loot boxes. NEW: THE HANGAR Every run earns Salvage. Spend it in the Hangar on permanent ship upgrades: hull plating, shield capacitors, a stronger reactor, extra starting bombs, a rescue beacon and more. Each run makes your starfighter tougher for the next alien invasion. PICK A PERK AFTER EVERY BOSS Beat a boss or mini-boss and choose 1 of 3 run perks: spread shot, rapid fire, piercing rounds, missile swarm, graze battery and more. Stack them into a different build every run, roguelite shmup style. DAILY MISSIONS AND DAILY CHALLENGE Three new missions every day, plus a Daily Challenge with a fresh modifier of the day. Clear them to earn Salvage and unlock rewards. PURE ARCADE MODE Want the classic space shooter experience? Pure Arcade turns every upgrade off. Only upgrade-free runs post to the global Play Games leaderboard, so every high score is earned with skill alone. THREE WEAPONS, ONE SHIP • BLASTER: rapid-fire spread shot; hold to charge a heavy blast • LASER: a sustained beam that melts armor • MISSILES: homing shots that hunt down priority targets Switch weapons instantly, mid-fight. BOSSES THAT FIGHT BACK Named alien bosses with multi-phase attack patterns, curtain-fire telegraphs and an enrage phase when they're nearly dead. Elite enemies arrive with extra armor, and a Wingman ally can join your side of the fight.
