More about this game
Your goal is to guide Nova across a series of floating islands to reach her rocket at the end of the course. You run and jump between twelve platforms, collecting up to twelve star shards along the way. The platforms move up and down in a wave pattern, making your jumps trickier as you progress. If you fall off the bottom of the screen, you instantly return to the last platform you touched. The run ends when you board the rocket.
Tips
- Save your second jump for emergencies. Since you can double jump, use the second leap to correct your trajectory if a platform moves unexpectedly.
- Watch the wave pattern of the twelve platforms. They move up and down, so wait for your target platform to reach its peak before jumping.
- Do not worry about falling off the screen. If you drop below the platforms, you safely respawn at your last touched checkpoint.
Questions
How many star shards are there?
There are exactly twelve star shards to collect in a single run. Each of the twelve platforms has one shard hovering above it, waiting for you to grab it.
What happens if I fall off the platforms?
If Nova falls below the screen, you will not lose the game. You will immediately respawn on the exact platform you last landed on, keeping all your collected shards.
How do I finish the game?
You must travel all the way to the right side of the course. Once you land on the final platform and reach the rocket, Nova boards it and launches away.
