[TIC-80 Games] Super Nova

TIC-80 Games is a post series where I review TIC-80 games I play. You can read more about the fantasy computer in this post. and see my latest reviews on the tag #tic80games!

Super Nova is a time racing game where you have to make your space ship last as much time as possible. The game is created by Sintel.

You control a ship in a space highway! The main gameplay as well as the challenge of then game is to pass through speed booster and try to avoid bumping into the cosmic highway boundaries. You can use X/Down to brake and Z button to jump which boosts you a bit.

Turn Speed Up to Eleven!

I also liked how the visual & sound effects of
the screen distortion as your ship approaches its limits.

I had fun trying to maximize my time. At first I didn't notice that there was a jump button and I sucked at the game. I found getting the time required to unlock the second ship too challenging, my high score is 1:25 Minutes even when I didn't bump too much.

While I didn't see all of what the game has to offer I still had fun and I recommend it for few minutes play or if you're up to the challenge to completion.

Just 5 More Seconds!
