Mini Nova

The same experience as Nova—the same challenge, the same flow state, the same lessons about rhythm and teamwork—just smaller. Desktop-scale with 4 poofers and 4 rounds.

The Experience

Mini Nova proves that scale isn't what matters. The intensity, the rhythm, the moments of collective achievement—they're all here, just contained in a desktop-friendly package.

Same Challenge

The identical experience as Nova: rhythm-based flame control requiring precise timing and coordination. You'll feel the same pressure, find the same flow.

Smaller Scale

4 synchronized flame poofers (instead of 12 stars) and 4 rounds (instead of 8). The core experience condensed, not diluted.

Training Platform

Learn what Nova demands before facing the full installation. Practice timing, build communication patterns, master the rhythm.

Desktop Intensity

Small doesn't mean weak.

At desktop scale, the flames are closer, the intensity more concentrated. Every mistake is immediate feedback. Every success is a palpable moment of triumph.

The control interface is right there with you. You see your inputs translate directly into fire. It's raw, responsive, visceral.
