REVIEWS
It has an interesting premise, one of the smartest control schemes I've seen, Game Center integration for high score bragging rights, and above all else it's just a blast to play. - 4/5 TouchArcade
Red Nova may only be limited to the single gameplay mode, but its execution is almost flawless and perfectly suited for all iDevices. - 4/5 AppSpy.com
From the superb control scheme to all of the small enhancements mentioned earlier in the review it is clear that Red Nova is, indeed, a very professional product. - 3.5/5 148Apps
While on a routine mission to test a number of prototype fighters destined to replace the Earth Colonial Fleet's aging Starhawk, the ECS Red Nova, your carrier, comes across an unknown alien fleet preparing to stage a sneak attack on the human colonies!
In order to give the Red Nova a chance to escape and warn the rest of the fleet you have volunteered to attack the aliens head-on. With a choice of any of the fighters on deck, you have to use your wits, your guns, and your ample supply of homing missiles to survive for as long as you can!

What's new in Version 1.0.1
New in 1.0.1
- Added an Easy difficulty level. Enemies start with a lower spawn rate and their shots do less damage. Player shots also do more damage.
- Added the FX-22 Gungnir starfighter. It has heavier armor than the other fighters and a high top speed. The trade-off is it is slow to accelerate so it drifts more than the other fighters and is therefore less agile.
Fixes in 1.0.1
- Fixed a bug where the screen would become unresponsive to touches on iPad after the Game Center score pop-up was dismissed.
- Additional small fixes and optimizations.
