About Nova Rush
No stage select, no checkpoints, no mercy: Nova Rush is the endless arcade cut of the shooter, tuned for one more run. Your orange interceptor starts with three hull points and two bombs, and the sky above the purple nebula never stops filling up. Every stage stacks more waves than the last, enemy craft get faster, and a new mothership arrives at the end of each one with a different attack style — rotating spiral streams, walls of plasma with a single gap, swarming escort drones or a charging beam that sweeps the column you are standing in. Chain kills without getting hit to climb the score multiplier all the way to five, but take one hit and it drops back to one and your weapon loses a level. Stage clears pay out for accuracy and for every bomb you did not need, so precise, greedy flying is rewarded twice. Every 25,000 points earns an extra ship. Watch the bottom edge, too: raiders that slip past you damage your hull, so you cannot just hide in a corner. How many motherships can you bring down before the nova swallows you?
How to play
Fly with the mouse, the arrow keys or by dragging anywhere; shooting is automatic. Keep the kill streak alive for up to ×5 points, catch power-ups to upgrade your guns, and press Space or the bomb button to clear the screen. Do not let raiders slip past the bottom.
