Halfway between the crazy universe from Jet Set Radio, the interactivity of Mirror's Edge and inspired by movies like the 5th Element or Star Wars ; "Hover: Revolt of Gamers" takes place in another world where you're in charge of a band of Gamers revolting against anti-video-games laws oppressing the city.

You'll have to free the citizen restrained by authorities, localize and then infiltrate anti video games propaganda control centers, retrieve gaming consoles confiscated from the population to overthrow the new Mayor, who is the cause of this mess.

You can 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 races created in real time by the community as well. Wherever you are and what you are doing in the city, running around or in the middle of a mission, it'll be possible to connect to a server, instantly switching to multiplayer.

This Alpha 3.0 offers a brand new Hover City. It has been entirely re-designed and re-coded in order to answer the players feedbacks and demands. The most critical improvement is on the performance side. The new city is optimized to offer the best possible framerate and a perfectly smooth gaming experience. It also benefits many graphical enhancements with new building models, new textures and object details.

Many additions have also been done to bring more life into the city. The city lights and atmosphere now change through a Day & Night cycle, there is more NPC in the streets and many effects have been added all around.

A new playable character is now available: Veelan. She is a very fast running alien. But this speed makes her a bit more tricky to control. It opens new challenges for the players. Veelan comes with its own stories and set of missions and the personal missions of the already available characters have all been improved too.

On the gameplay side, many improvements has also been brought to the game. It starts with the basics as players can go through a full new tutorial, more fun to play but also much more explicit about the game core gameplay and commands.
