Nova Number Run

Solve the buoy gates, steer Nova into the right lane, and keep the harbor run alive all the way toward level 999.

Nova Number Run is a portrait math arcade runner played across four lanes. Read each addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division gate, identify the buoy carrying the correct answer, then tap the left or right half of the screen to move Nova one lane at a time. Correct gates raise the score multiplier, five correct answers trigger a Tide Combo bonus, and one wrong choice ends most runs.

How to Play Nova Number Run

The run continues through generated math gates until Nova misses an answer or clears the selected pack. Most wrong gates end the attempt immediately, while the Practice Buoys pack lets you continue after a mistake. Cleared packs unlock the next stage of the 999-level route.

  1. 01

    Choose a harbor pack

    Select Start Run, open an unlocked pack, and choose Run the Tide from Nova Dock to begin its set of math gates.

  2. 02

    Solve the next gate

    Read the equation ahead and compare the four buoy answers before Nova reaches the gate line.

  3. 03

    Steer one lane at a time

    Tap the left or right half of the screen, use the circular HUD arrows, or press A, D, or the arrow keys to line up with the correct buoy.

  4. 04

    Build a clean answer streak

    Each correct gate adds 50 points times the rising multiplier. Reach five correct answers in a row to earn the one-time 200-point Tide Combo bonus.

Quick tips

  • Solve the equation before moving, then use separate taps for each lane step instead of tapping repeatedly at the last moment.
  • Watch the multiplier as well as the raw score; a clean streak makes every later correct gate worth more.
  • Use Practice Buoys to learn the four-lane rhythm because incorrect answers there do not end the run.
  • Enable reduced motion or skip the opening countdown from Harbor Settings when you want a faster repeat attempt.
