About

Nova Swarm is a neon arcade shooter you can play alone or with friends, everyone on screen at the same time.

The swarm flies in, forms up, and starts diving. Clear the formation before it clears you.

CO-OP, ALL AT ONCE • Up to 8 pilots on the same Wi-Fi network. One player hosts, the others join in a tap, even mid-game. • Up to 4 pilots online through Game Center, with friends or matched players. • Every pilot has their own ship, color, score and lives.

CLASSIC RULES, A FEW NEW TRICKS • Bees, butterflies and bosses, each with their own attack runs. • Bosses carry a tractor beam. Get caught and your fighter is captured. Shoot that boss while it dives to win your fighter back and fly two ships side by side. • Challenging Stages: hit every enemy for a perfect bonus. • Power-ups drop from the enemies you destroy: Rapid Fire, Spread Shot and Shield.

BUILT FOR TOUCH • Drag to move or use an on-screen joystick. Your choice. • Move and fire at the same time with two thumbs. • Game controllers and keyboards work too. • iPhone in portrait; iPad in portrait or landscape.

KEEP SCORE • A Game Center leaderboard that resets every week, plus an all-time board. • 12 achievements to earn.
