About Supernova Games

Supernova Games is an independent game development studio based in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Founded in July 2015, it develops PC, mobile and web games, with work spanning educational simulations, narrative adventures, casual puzzles and action games. Its portfolio combines socially focused projects with commercial entertainment, drawing on anime aesthetics and Brazilian regional culture.

The studio's early work explored civic participation, justice and public health through interactive storytelling. Carcará – Asas da Justiça introduced courtroom drama and investigation, while Leis para Todos approached civic and political simulation through a visual novel format. The health-education prototype Vetor addressed Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya. These projects established an educational strand that sits alongside the company's subsequent commercial releases.

Narrative, puzzles and action

Supernova Games expanded its portfolio through Steam and itch.io, developing games with different combinations of storytelling, relationships and puzzle mechanics. Its Cupid Universe includes the romantic sliding puzzle Cupid Kiss, the dating RPG Cupid Story: First Date and the visual novel and matchmaking puzzle Fertiliel - Cupid Simulator. The studio uses the internal Supernova Alt Games imprint for narrative and experimental projects, including Fertiliel - Cupid Simulator and Memory Shards.

Its logic-game catalogue includes Cupid Nonogram, Nonogram Animals and Nonogram Halloween. Other releases explore different formats: Memory Shards combines introspective visual novel storytelling with turn-based RPG mechanics, while Night Claw is an action platformer featuring a blind ninja cat that uses sound echolocation.

In September 2026, the studio released Cordels & Spells, a 2D action roguelike twin-stick shooter set in northeastern Brazil's sertão. The game draws on regional cordel literature, folklore and woodcut art. Its announced development projects also include the life simulator and farming RPG Cupid Island, the cooperative action roguelike Fourspell Survivors Online and the strategic ritual-builder FLESHPACT.

Alongside its own games, Supernova Games offers full-cycle development and bespoke advergames and educational interactive software for public institutions and commercial partners. Its capabilities encompass engineering, game design, narrative design, 2D art and sound integration.
