Kickstarter video
Between the crazy Jet Set Radio, the interactivity of Mirror's Edge and inspired by films like "The Fifth Element" or "Star Wars", Hover let you play as a Gamer Team from another world, appalled at the dictatorship in their city.
Totally free in a large futuristic open world city and wearing a special high-tech suit offering you the ability to move around unlike anyone, you will have to impress all the Gamers of the City doing crazy Triks and "Parkours" in order to recruit an impressive team and enrole in more serious missions to overthrow the tyranny.
You will have to locate and infiltrate in the control centers of the anti-video games propaganda, free the citizens confined by the authorities, get back the consoles confiscated from the population, andfinally dethrone the new Mayor at the origin of this whole mess. Many security drones are patrolling city so be alert to the risk of being chased, and be prepared to shake off them.
Each Gamer you recruit in your team is playable and the experience gained can be used to upgrade their stats.
You will be able to switch into the multipayer mode just by connecting to a server. Cooperate with other players in missions or challenge them in fully configurable events (for example you can create race tracks in real time).

Devs on Wii U:
A fun and Cartoon Style
There is first and foremost the wish to see some crazy and fun games again, like Jet Set Radio was in its time. A universe style as well as an ambiance that seems to have dissapeared these past years. We want to show a similar artistic courage.
Immersive and dynamic sensations
A few years back, we amongst many others have been highly impressed by Mirror's Edge and the new sensations it was bringing in. We've realised that parkour games were now possible and worth being democratised. With Hover we intend to bring the subjective parkour game's towards a new path, the one of arcade, open world and multiplayer
Grandiose and technologic environment
Inspired not only by videos games, some of Hover's principles come directly from movies and more particularily science fiction ones, such as the 5th Element or Star Wars. It was a real fantasy for us to some day have a vast futuristic city entirely explorable in a game, made out of all the archetypes of the genre like gigantic buildings with saturated shades and lighting or the numerous flying cars furrowing the sky. Most of the games released until now only offered simplified backgrounds with too little interaction. With Hover, we have as goal to immerse you deeply into a vast futuristic 100% explorable city.
Crazy movements
Free to explore Hover City at will and equipped with a high-tech suit, your Gamer will be able to run at crazy speed, slide, bounce, push off walls and realize incredible jumps allowing him to play with the city's verticality.
Tricks, combos and Stunning Aura
Impress the gamers by realizing grinds and crazy tricks showing everyone who's the Resistance's leader. During a multiplayer mission, realize incredible combos to generate Stunning Auras which will lower your opponents' moral and boost your allies' statistics
Experience, skill grid and equipment
Gain experience and unlock new abilites improving the aptitudes of previously recruited Gamers. Earn money to buy some equipment into the city's shops as well.
Online multiplayer, cooperative, competitive and creative
Join your friends online at any time and progress throughout the adventure in their company, whether you are cooperating or working against them. Participate in race events or scoring battles created in real time by the community as well.
Hover: Revolt of Gamers wishes itself to be dynamic and non linear.
Unlock new playable characters
You'll be able to recruit numerous Gamers to strenghten the ranks of the Resistance. Before joining you, each Gamer will give you a challenge that you'll have to take. A race, a score to beat or an object to collect... there are numerous and diversified challenges.
Save the citizen and shake the police off
During a trip, it won't be uncommon to cross some citizen in distress getting arrested by security drones for possession of video games. It'll be up to you to save them by drawing drones' attention to yourself. Thanks to their movement suits, Gamers can escape better than anyone. Saving citizens will be a good way of gleaning useful informations for the Resistance's missions.
Pick your side in multiplayer
Whatever the mission type might be, you can once you are in multiplayer join police forces. Now that you are a security agent, equip yourself with paralysing grenades and hunt the Gamers down to anihilate the Resistance.
Explore the city seeking the confiscated gaming consoles
The gaming consoles have been confiscated !If sometimes finding warehouses in which they are hidden will be enough, Gamers might have to take serious risks by chasing aerial trains conveying consoles from one warehouse to another.
Infiltration
Locate the drone's control center, find the best way to infiltrate them and don't get spotted by their numerous security systems.
Sabotage the anti video games propaganda
The Mayor has put in place a prominant propaganda being conveyed through information screens spread out throughout the city's streets. Reach the sometimes high-perched screens to sabotage their streaming system, replacing them with messages of peace and freedom.
Become the leader of the Resistance
In solo like in multiplayer, participate to numerous challenges like races or scoring battles to show who's best and who's got more style.
Bring the tyranny down
Free Hover City's neighbourhoods one by one until having reached the untakeable fortress in which the Mayor hides. Throw him off of his throne and put an end to his dictatorship.
