Fusty Game

Thanks to Bobalu for the tip.

Hover: Revolt of Gamers is the latest title to have successfully reached its Wii U stretch goal on Kickstarter. The campaign just passed the $100,000 mark, meaning Fusty Game’s project is officially planned for the eShop.

Kickstarter donations are still being accepted here. Six days remain in the campaign.

Within the past few days, news has surfaced that Fusty Game intends to bring Hover: Revolt of Gamers to Wii U. It’s a free-runner set in an impressive-looking futuristic open world.

In the game, you’ll play as a “Gamer Team” from another world while trying to locate and infiltrate control centers of the anti-video games propaganda, free citizens confined by the authorities, retrieve consoles confiscated from the population, and dethrone the new mayor who has enacted a dictatorship.

We recently caught up with Fusty Game to learn more about Hover: Revolt of Gamers, and were presented with a few words from developer Marine Baron.

When asked about bringing Hover to Nintendo’s console, Baron said that the team of three at Fusty Game “really like[s] the Wii U and we want to support it.” Contact hasn’t been made with Nintendo just yet.

For those wondering, Fusty Game does intend to take advantage of the Wii U controller. Baron said the device is “interesting for our game” and the team has “some ideas on how to use the GamePad.”

And some good news for Wii U owners: Hover will come with the same features on Nintendo’s platform as the other versions – PC, PS4, and Xbox One – including a multiplayer mode that allows players to cooperate with others in missions and experience configurable versus events.

Hover: Revolt of Gamers looks good. Pretty darn good, especially for such a small team. How is Fusty mangaging to produce this kind of project? “Our secret is many working hours (80 hours/week) and to be ambitious,” Baron told us. “There is no magic.”

Development on Hover: Revolt of Gamers is only just beginning, so there’s sadly no word yet on when the game will be available. We’re told that a Kickstarter campaign will launch soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
