Hover Up Demo

Hover Up Demo - Hoverboard Racing

Hover Up is a hoverboard racing game where the goal is to control a physics-based hoverboard as fast as possible through a course

The main challenge is maintaining the correct height to reach maximum speed and make the best possible use of the board’s energy system.

The hoverboard is fully physics-driven, so movement, balance, and height control directly affect your speed and performance.

Origin of the Game:

I stream on Twitch from time to time, mainly answering beginner questions about Unreal Engine. At some point, someone asked me how I would implement a hoverboard.

There were several possible approaches back then, but this fully physics-based version turned out to be so fun to control that I kept expanding it bit by bit over the past few months.

Honestly, I just couldn’t stop playing it because it’s so much fun to hover over the course.

And now I’ve decided to turn it into a playable demo.

Controls:

• WASD – Movement

• Mouse – Look / Direction

• Space – Jump

• E – Spawn / Despawn Hoverboard

This is a demo version. Feedback is welcome.
