Big news today, Hover : Revolt of Gamers will be officially released on May 31st on PC, Mac & Linux.

Expect a big release update with a lot of new content including the Administrative District, the Orbital Station and Krow the new playable character !

We will publish detailed posts about the release content in the coming days.

Note that consoles release is expected Q4 2017!

We released today a major patch for the Early Access on Steam. It brings many new cool stuff into the game and solves a bunch of minor issues.

New Stuff :

• Hideki's Musics are here!
  As you know, we have the great pleasure to partner with Hideki Naganuma as guest composer for Hover: Revolt of Gamers. As a reminder, Hideki is the composer of Jet Set Radio, Jet Set Radio Future, Sonic Rush, and many more great video game soundtracks.
  You can listen to Hideki's tracks by going to the Fusty Pub or to the Gamer’s HQ!
  

• The Trick Score System is back!
  Tricks don’t give energy anymore, but they increase your score, which in turn will give you more energy at the end of a trick combo. Grinding and sliding will keep giving energy instantly.
  After a 100 points trick combo, you will generate an Energy Aura, it’s useful to boost your allies, open special containers or for some missions.
  

• 2 New Mission Types : Trickscore missions and Condenser.
  
• Two missions added in district A
  
• The Codex has been updated!
  
• The ‘Friends Only’ online mode is now available.
  
• There’s a new tunnel in Haven District, which leads from MoreMoreMore to Korupa.
  
• Some wooden springboards and grind springboards have been added throughout Haven District.
  
• After the Sewers missions, Momo is now waiting for you under the HQ’s entrance.
  
• When scanning, missions far from you are now displayed.
  
• There are now step sounds when landing from a jump! (about time!)

• Containers light has been increased.
  
• There are more information displayed when hovering on chips in the character window.
  
• Slight feet vibration when sliding or grinding.
  
• Slides have been radically changed, you can now take curves and keep your speed.
  
• Energy is saved during rewinds, to avoid some mechanic exploits and make it easier to use. If you take an electric shock, your energy won’t be saved.
  
• You cannot interact with items during custom missions or when creating custom missions.
  
• Steam must be open to be able to play.
  
• Mission musics are now more diverse and don’t depend on the scene/map.
  
• Spy Drones Energy no longer displayed, counter now displays the remaining hits needed to take it down.
  
• You can now see the Administrative district from afar.
  
• When doing an “every man for himself” mission where you lose, the winner is now displayed.

• Gamers and Breakers portraits are now displayed with the correct colors during dialogs!
  
• You don’t drop the gameball anymore after a very high jump.
  
• Rank is now correctly displayed when it’s above one thousand. (I feel a joke’s missing there…)
