A lot of the details in the city aren’t explained, until you realize the green-trash vents can be used as catapults through trial-and-error.
There’s a bit more to it than that, but you only begin to start figuring it out once you start playing, and trying out some of the missions you find out in the trash-filled starting zone of the city. Its a bizarre world, and because the developers were able to track down the original composer of Jet Set Radio Future, Hideki Naganuma to help with this game, Hover feels like an odd throwback to old game designs and styles, while also trying to push forward and try something new. You run, jump, and grind your way through events such as races, attempt to track down security drones to capture, and of course, spray graffiti and break propaganda you find. Hover: Revolt of Gamers is set in a dystopian future where fun is outlawed, but you are drafted to become part of a resistance against the Mayor of a massive city that seems to be built vertically.
