Overview:
From the game's help file:
Introduction:
Welcome to Hover!
Match wits with robotic pilots as you steer your Hover 950 craft through the murky realms of Hover!, an amusement ride created by robots from the future.
The object is simple: steal all of the drones' flags before the drones capture yours. You will be awarded points for each of the enemy flags you collect and for every one of your flags remaining when you finish the level ahead of the drones. But the challenge doesn't end here. The drones will work their deceptions to throw you off course.
The world of Hover! is filled with floating pods that contain both good and bad objects. Drive through the good pods to collect booster packs and other handy tools. Avoid the bad pods! And keep an eye out for unwanted skid pads, flag removers, hold pads, and other tricky obstacles.
Good News! When the robots designed the world of Hover!, their game timer malfunctioned. This ride can continue as long as you keep capturing all the drones' flags before all of yours are captured.
Look for more in-depth game play in the next version of Hover!
