Novafall: Idle Space Empire
Galaxy Tycoon & Colony Builder
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Fire the foundries. Chart the stars. Collapse the galaxy — and come back stronger.
Novafall is an idle space-strategy game where your empire grows even while you're away. Build a fleet, colonize 64 worlds across 16 sectors, and when your run slows down, ASCEND: collapse the galaxy into Dark Matter and forge an empire that starts every cycle stronger than the last.
But this galaxy isn't empty. Three rival empires — the Vex Hegemony, the Krillix Swarm, and the Hollow Court — hold the frontier. They besiege your colonies, blockade your trade, and remember every invasion. Choose your government, pick your friends and enemies by creed, buy an uneasy truce… or break them world by world.
YOUR EMPIRE RUNS ITSELF
• True idle progression — mines, collectors, and labs produce while you're away
• Appoint a Cabinet of 9 ministers: industry, science, expansion, war, trade, and more
• NOVA, your ship's AI advisor, always knows the next best move (and has opinions)
A LIVING GALAXY
• 30 ship classes, from Probe Drone to The Omega Fleet
• 64 planets across 16 sectors — mining worlds, gas giants, relic worlds, crystal spires
• 3 rival empires with ideologies, grudges, truces, and sieges
• 5 alien species to befriend: gifts, favor, alliances, and tribute
• Spy cells, wonders, a galactic stock exchange, and a Senate with edicts
ASCEND AND TRANSCEND
• Prestige loop: collapse the galaxy, bank Dark Matter, buy permanent upgrades
• 8 Challenge Ascensions — handicapped runs for permanent yield bonuses
• Weekly galactic anomalies and a Weekend Surge that doubles ascension yields
• 26 achievements, milestones, and a 7-day supply-drop streak
FAIR BY DESIGN
• No forced ads — ever
• Every purchase is optional; everything can be earned by playing
• Your save backs up to your own iCloud — lose your phone, not your empire
• Offline progress, no internet required to play
The galaxy is waiting, Commander. Every world in it, actually.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Diplomacy counts as conquest.
• Buying a rival empire's last world now earns the Warlord and Galactic Conqueror trophies. An empire ended by invoice is still an empire ended — the peaceful route no longer costs you the banner.
• Time Warps now say plainly what they skip: production only. Battle cooldowns, truces, sieges and the daily supply rotation all keep running on real time.
• Purchases are written to your save the moment they arrive, so an interrupted session can never swallow one.
• Steadier under the hood, and the usual quiet repairs.
The galaxy is still waiting, Commander. Every world in it.
