Hover: Revolt of Gamers hit a chord with Jet Set Radio loving nostalgia geeks like myself and blazed on past their initial asking goal of $38,000. Now they are looking to break the last two stretch goals, $125k for the Swing-Hook and $!50k for 2 editable characters to be added to the game.
Looking at the screenshots it’s everything you could want from a HD homage to Jet Set Radio, there’s the bright cell shaded graphics, the open world, the skating, the hover boarding, oculus rift support, the parkour and finally probably the biggest win was scoring Hideki Naganuma who composed the music for Jet Set Radio. So if you loved those classic games head on over and back Hover: Revolt of Gamers, $15 gets you a copy of the game for PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. They also reached the Wii U stretch goal so it will be coming to Nintendo’s latest platform of choice.

Halfway between the crazy universe from Jet Set Radio, the interactivity of a Mirror’s Edge and inspired by movies like the 5th Element or Star Wars, “Hover: Revolt of Gamers” places itself on another world and puts you in charge of a band of Gamers revolted against opression and the anti-video-games laws that rules the city.
You’ll have to free the citizen restrained by the autorities, localise and then infiltrate into control centers of the anti video games propaganda, retrieve gaming consoles confiscated from the population to dethrone the new Mayor, who is the cause of all that mess. Beware, some new security drones are patroling the city and you’ll have to be vigilent at the cost of being chased and having to shake them off.
Gamers being recruited by your team will be playable and you’ll have the ability to gain experience in order to improve each of their statistics.
Particularly adapted for the Oculus Rift, the game offers an exceptional immersion as well as totally new breathtaking sensations.
Hover: Revolt of Gamers is developed with specific local multiplayer modes for PC/Mac/Linux/Xbox One/PS4 and Wii U if it reach specific stretch goal on Kickstarter.
