About the Game

Hover Havoc is an action-packed pickup ‘n’ play party brawler, for up to four players.

Float like a hovercraft, sting like a bee… as you and up to three of your friends (or enemies), engage in a Battle Royal. Deploy collected power ups with critical timing in order to battle, bump and bounce your opponents from trap-filled arenas into oblivion. Knockouts mean points and points mean victory! Drift through a multitude of arenas in a blur of hover-fuelled rampage... as you revel with nostalgic delight in this quintessential retro arcade party player!

Features include:


  • Up to 4 player (local multiplayer) gameplay = 4x the fun!
  • 7 crazy / original power ups.
  • 7 world arenas in which to battle for dominance.
