Supernova

Space feels genuinely hostile in Supernova — the kind of hostile that makes your palms sweat after a few close calls. Your spacecraft threads through a procedurally generated void where debris, obstacles, and sheer velocity conspire against you, and the margin for error shrinks the longer you survive.

What makes it grip you isn't just the dodging. It's the momentum. Speed builds quietly at first, almost imperceptibly, until suddenly the whole experience shifts into something frantic and demanding. The unlockable ships aren't cosmetic distractions either — different handling characteristics genuinely change how you read and react to the incoming chaos.

There's a particular satisfaction in stringing together a long run, watching your score climb while the universe blurs around you. Then one miscalculation ends it all, and you're already reaching for another attempt before the death animation finishes.
