Overview

Hover! allows players to pilot a hovercraft-bumper car hybrid around three sets of maps: Medieval Castle, Sewers and Futuristic; each with their own unique tilesets.

Gameplay involved a capture the flag scenario against AI opponents or "drones". Around each map there were floating pods containing items to help or hinder the hovercraft's drivers goal. These items include:
