NOVA BLASTER: Space Shooter

NOVA BLASTER — Retro Arcade Space Shooter

A vertical-scrolling space shooter built for players who miss real arcade games. Blast through waves of alien fighters, weave through bullet hell patterns, and take down screen-filling bosses. No ads. No loot boxes. No energy timers. Just pure arcade action at 60fps — and it plays offline.

If you grew up on classic galaxy shooters and coin-op shmups, this one is for you.
