Lean. Duck. Don't blink.

Hoverbandit

A neon arcade hoverboard runner for VR headsets, Android phones and the web browser. Ride through rush-hour traffic: lean to switch lanes, duck under barriers, grab a bus to slingshot ahead and race other players' ghosts on daily leaderboards, all to a radio of synthwave, drum & bass and lo-fi.

How to play

Hoverbandit is an arcade endless runner on a hoverboard. Switch lanes through rush-hour traffic, skim past cars to chain near misses, boost when the road opens and grab a passing bus to slingshot ahead. In VR you lean your body to steer, squat to duck and reach out to grab, with controllers or hand tracking, standing or seated. On a phone you swipe; in the browser you use the keys.

Modes

  • Endless runs through 12 zones, from Neon Night and Neon Tokyo to Snow Pass and Hollow Woods
  • Daily Run and Daily Mixtape: the same three mods for everyone, then race your ghost on the leaderboard
  • Routes: 48 hand-made challenges with three stars each, and Pursuit, a police chase with rising heat
  • Radio Hits, a rhythm mode where traffic moves to the beat of 15 songs
  • Rush Hour of the Dead, an opt-in cartoon zombie night (comedy, no gore)
