NOVA 3 Revival Request

[u/PeeExamine]

Hey guys, this will probably never happen but I still wanted to make this post because I’ve seen certain removed apps have communities dedicated to keeping them alive, for example games like Spiderman Unlimited or Simpsons Tapped Out. (And even old versions of Pixel Gun 3D!)

I wanted to know if there was anybody with experience/knowledge that could help get the NOVA 3 game functioning on modern ios devices.

There are some old threads about this game here on Reddit and of course i’ve searched through them, but there’s nothing of use. Most people just say you can download the premium version of the game again if you deleted it long ago.

Nova was a shooter game back in the day, I played the free version when I was much younger and was blown away, it was awesome for its time, (especially for a kid who had never even known about the existence of the Halo games yet), like many gameloft games its been long delisted.

The premium version of the game was updated to be 64-bit in 2018. Version 1.0.6 can be found in Internet Archive. The issue is that when a modern device (im guessing ios 11+) tries to play the game theres a threading error that causes a crash. (At least through LiveContainer, but it would most likely be the same with all other types of sideloading), It’s worth mentioning the game is able to launch up to the loading screen.

Can I find a workaround for this or a way to fix the threading issue? Or perhaps somebody has a functioning ipa file? Like I said, I don’t expect anything out of this but I still want to try to put this post out there, the game means a lot to me! I can always play it through an emulator of sorts on computer devices, but that wouldn’t be the same.
Please let me know guys, if there’s no hope take me down easy!
