Nova's is an idle/incremental game that starts out somewhat active and turns increasingly more idle, but always incremental from the start. Nova's by default runs at the bottom of your screen so you can periodically check on it. But if you prefer a full screen experience, you can do that as well.
Progression in Nova's is built around upgrading nearly every part of the simulation. Upgrade your turrets to deal more damage. Upgrade the enemies to drop more resources so you can upgrade your turrets. Buy Simulation Enhancements to help make the simulation run more smoothly.
As you progress, you'll be able to buy and upgrade more drones which either harvest asteroids for resources or utilize resources to build out Dyson Spheres to gather energy. Currently there are 20 suns to build Dyson Spheres for.
Achievements in Nova's are a small but core part of progression. Each achievement provides permanent incremental rewards for different parts of the simulation.
Don't like having the game on just the bottom of the screen? You can turn on full screen mode in the settings and have a pleasant Galaxy Map to look at.
This is an Idle/Incremental game. Of course there's offline progression! Though, Nova herself uses a simplified algorithm to determine your rewards.
Steam currently lists 10 Nov 2026 as the release date.
