Supernova — Play Free Online

Supernova is a browser game from kokos.games, listed here under endless runners. You steer a character through a run that keeps going until you fail, then you start again and try to last longer. There is nothing to install: the page loads, you press a key, and you are playing within a few seconds.

That fast restart is the main appeal. Runs are short, a mistake ends the round quickly, and the next attempt is one click away. If you came to Doodle Jump for the "just one more try" loop of climbing a little higher each time, Supernova gives you the same kind of session in a different setting, with movement in more than one direction rather than a single bounce.

How to play

On a keyboard, move with the arrow keys or WASD. The mouse is used to aim and to pick options in the menus. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead; the game also draws on-screen direction keys during a run, so touch play works without a keyboard.

The game has an in-run screen, a pause state and an end screen that appears when you die. Your goal is simply to survive and push your result higher than the last attempt. Pause if you need to step away, and use the end screen to jump straight back in.

Tips

• Use the first few runs to learn how responsive the movement is. Short, controlled taps on the keys usually beat holding a direction down.
• Keep your eyes slightly ahead of your character rather than on it, so you have time to react to what is coming.
• If you are on a laptop, a mouse or trackpad plus keys is more comfortable than a touchscreen for anything involving aiming.
• When a run goes badly, restart straight away. Short rounds reward many quick attempts more than one long, frustrated one.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

For the classic vertical climb, open Doodle Jump itself, where you only steer left and right while the character bounces on its own. Helix Jump is another one-input game, built around dropping a ball down a rotating tower. Bird Jumper and Hoppenhelm are closer to Supernova in feel, both asking for reflexes and quick restarts over long sessions.

Supernova suits a five-minute break: short runs, simple controls, and it works on both keyboard and touch screens.
