How it feels

A methodical fusion of turn-based and real-time action that feels like solving puzzles under a gently ticking clock, with quirky sci-fi charm.

What players say

Players describe Nova-111 as a creative mix of turn-based and real-time action that makes for tense puzzling, but many find the gameplay repetitive and the short length unsatisfying. Some report a crash-on-startup bug that the developers have not fixed. The save system forces replays of grouped levels, which a few reviewers consider a serious design flaw.
