Nova-111 received "mixed or average" reviews for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch and "generally favorable" reviews for PlayStation Vita and Wii U.[1][2][3][4][5] It was given a score of 7 out of 10 on Destructoid, which praised it for forcing the player to think in new ways in a way that games in established genres could rarely do.[6] Pocket Gamer gave the game 3 stars out of 5, writing, "All in all, Nova-111 is a game that doesn't quite live up to the promise of its concept, and it's mostly down to relatively small mistakes. There's something here, and you'll definitely have fun for a couple of hours, but it's nowhere near what could've been."[9] Nintendo Life awarded it 9 stars out of 10, praising its meticulously designed levels while writing, "Nova-111 is a fantastic puzzle action adventure game with a world that's built with care from its beautiful colours, rich in-depth quirky gameplay to its witty humour."[7] Nintendo World Report gave the title the score is 8/10, where it states that the video game is fun and entertaining.[8] Push Square gave the title 8 out of 10 stars, concluding, "Though [Nova-111] does have some flaws, such as a lacklustre auto-save feature and a cumbersome amount of abilities, you'll be hard pressed to find a weirder and more brilliant tribute to the men and women who changed the world through science."[10]
