About this game

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
