Nova Blast is a side-scrolling shooter in which you must defend four shielded cities from invaders that attack from both in the air and on the ground. Each city has a bubble shield that can sustain one hit - another hit to an unshielded city will destroy it. Your ship is equipped with an energy beam that can absorb energy from energy tanks, and can also use that energy to create temporary shields around unprotected cities. The ship can also sustain up to ten blows in each round.

I really don't care for this game, but 36,100

[Mister VCS]

I like this game - I hope i am not the only one here...

I think it is important to destroy the "Water Walkers" as soon as possible in each level.

27,700 (this game is new in my collection)

Your right there, go for the Water Walkers and don't spread yourself to thin as far as trying to protect all the cities. I tend to focus the most on protecting just two cities that are next to one another.

This, in my opinion, is one of the hardest games for the CV and I was really surprised to reach 39,900 on the harder skill level. Even on the easier skill level, I've never been able to top 50,000!

Almost forgot to play this. Didn't get much time with it pretty hard though
