Hover Skate VR

wow if you skate this game is pure insanity whoever made this took chances that really have paid off big time i played for 2 hours last night and my arms and back are smoked innovative use of beer curb skateboards brand i cant give this game enough props man its a skaters dream machine

As a skater for many years I found the controls near enough impossible, not being able to shift your front foot (towards your body) easily made even kickflips very difficult. It took far too long for the board to reset too in between fails. As for doing kickflips. I wanted my right hand at the back with my left side towards the track but even then it still saw a kickflip as a heelflip. Also, not a big fan of the music so would appreciate some audio controls. Fix these and I'll be back to try again as it's a really good idea but as most of these games that emulate something that takes skill (like rock band etc). It's designed for people who have never skated (it seems) whereby people that have will find it non-intuitive. Not sure if there's a middle ground but I hope you find it (or add in a option for "skater mode"! :) will be back if you do.

It's like EA's Skate series in a new medium. Plenty of potential and just the included levels have tons of replayability.

Pretty fun once you start learning how to play, I'd like to see longer maps though too, I've only played for 2 or 3 hours and I am in first place for all 5 maps so I must be pretty good

Backed 100% The developers are genious. This concept needed to be done in VR, and Hyper Light found an innovative way to make it, not only feel great, but work so smooth! Please realize how rediculously polished this release is compared the flood of gimics we have these days on Steam. This is one of those VR games that you can just waste hours in trying to land a flawless line. I'm not even a skater by any means, but a big fan of other skating games through the years. I think this one is honestly the next evolution of those franchises. EA needs to contact HyperLight and send them a cheque to create a big release with this code. I have a lot of faith that this is going somewhere in the near future. Imagine multiplayer! I can't recommend this one enough. Not to mention - Those new music tracks are so killer ;) Wish HyperLight the best of luck!!!!

I absolutely dont know what the other positive reviews are talking about, I skate myself and think this game is horrible. - way too short levels, do 1 or 2 tricks and its over - the board is way too floaty, it constantly slips out of your hands by mistake - the tricks arent registered correctly - its all about stupid points....no style no clean landing, nothing, its just crazy flips on end - there is no regular stand.....only goofy, anything else is registered as a switch trick - bail one time during a session and its over, back to a menu and select restart, since you bail so often its annoying as hell - the controls overall are just way too awkward Its just not enjoyable, like at all. I really like that this is something different, but in the end I think it fails to deliver a fun experience. I absolutely have nothing positive to say about the gameplay.

Abandoned...

Cool game! Hard.. but I imagine real skating is too. I like to try out the edge case games, I think it's important to try out and ask for games out of the norm. Lots of trial and error (again, real I imagine) but the physics and such feel right. If you are into skating I imagine you'll like this. I'll try more later, but wanted to give a positive review because the game delivers as promised.. VR skating with your hands (feet?)

It's basically Skate with your hands as your feet and instead of jumping up, you push down to "jump" and do tricks. I find it pretty relaxing.

[h1]Shows lots of promise, already good fun[/h1] Will be updating this short review as the game comes along. Please correct me if there is anything I've missed etc. Great game for Early Access, Developer has talent and seems to give a damn. Support the dev and keep this game going. Pros: ++ Impressive for early access. [i]Developer has skills yo.[/i] ++ [b]Oculus Touch[/b] support added + Graphics are nice and polished, nothing over the top and nothing boring. + Flip and grind mechanics are great considering the early access stage. + UI is quite polished, works as good as it looks too (heaps good). Cons: - Needs an [b]'auto restart on bail'[/b] option, better yet a [b]'get my board back and keep going'[/b] button. -- No [b]slow motion[/b] option, this would reduce nausea for those affected and also be nice for learning the mechanics. -- Board is very picky about where you place your feet to start, would be better if it were a button instead?
