## What is Hover Racer?

Strap into a space-age hovercraft and tear through an ever-changing landscape at break-neck speed. One wrong line and it's over — how far can you get?

Hover Racer is a pick-up-and-play endless racer built for one-thumb control and long sessions. The track rebuilds itself ahead of you, so no two runs are the same.

RACE
• Twitch-reactive hover controls tuned for touch
• A continuously generated landscape — never the same run twice
• Speed that keeps climbing the longer you survive

COLLECT AND UPGRADE
• Bank credits on every run
• Spend them in the integrated shop on new hovercraft and power-ups
• Grab power-ups mid-race and trigger them from the touch UI

COMPETE
• Game Center leaderboards — see exactly where you rank against friends
• Chase your own best distance, then beat it

BUILT TO LOOK GOOD
• Detailed hovercraft models and sharp sci-fi environments
• Smooth performance on iPhone and iPad

Free to play. Race as long as you can hold the line.
