About This Game
Hypernova is a progression-driven space survival game where every sortie is a fight for time, resources, and control. Dive into hostile sectors, collect stars and rare materials, and turn each run into permanent power through research, world unlocks, and long-term collection.
Survive The Sortie
You start from the Command Center, launch into a world, and push your luck:
•
Collect stars, fragments, scrap, crystals, and world-specific resources
•
Survive hazards and escalating enemy waves as difficulty ramps up
•
Chain combos and clutch close calls for bonus score and better payouts
Build A Ship That Feels Yours
Upgrade your loadout and playstyle with weapon and utility choices:
•
Primary/secondary weapon progression with branching upgrades
•
Utilities like magnet pulls, dashes, cloaks, and time manipulation to turn bad situations around
•
Persistent upgrades that carry forward between runs
Expand The Galaxy
Unlock new worlds on a connected Galaxy Map and face fresh challenges:
•
World unlock costs combine multiple resources, some destinations require prerequisite worlds
•
Different worlds bring different hazards, pacing, and reward profiles
Research, Industry, And Long-Term Progress
Turn raw loot into long-term momentum:
•
Research upgrades for ship systems, weapons, utilities, galaxy bonuses, and infrastructure
•
Planet buildings with limited slots per world (Relays, Mines, Factories)
•
Crafting categories unlocked through factories and improved via research
Goals Beyond A Single Run
There’s always a reason to do “one more run”:
•
Achievements and quest cadences (daily/weekly/seasonal, plus event quests when active)
•
Cosmetic collection: skins, trails, thrusters, badges, titles, and more
•
Leaderboards and personal highlights to chase cleaner routes and bigger payouts
