HoVRboard
Knuckles Controller Bindings
BTW I am still working on the game and a colorful update will be coming soon...
Optimization Update
sorry, that there was no update for such a long time, but I had a lot of other stuff to do in these strange times. Here is a minor update to improve overall performance and to fix some bugs. Thank you very much to everyone giving me feedback.
I am still having lots of ideas for developing this game further. And hopefully I will find more time to do so again. There will be something coming... soon(ish)...
A Mountain Of New Things
New Level “hoVRpeak”
You wanted snow? You'll get a whole mountain of it. But it's still not a snowboard game!
Adaptive Music
The game finally has a soundtrack. And it's adaptive. The music changes between relaxed background music and action-loaded beat and guitars, depending on how relaxed or action-loaded you drive. Big thanks to Plush Rabbit Studios.
Better Braking
The carving or crosswise positioning of the board to the direction you go now has a greater braking effect and makes the riding behaviour even more similar to that of a snowboard.
More challenges
Currently we are at 62, and there are also infinite ways you can find your own.
Challenge Mode
By popular demand, some challenges are a little easier by showing better where you have to go. Others are not.
Looping mode
For the particularly daring among you I have adapted the (optional) looping mode. Please give feedback on how you find it.
Not On Vacation
while some of you may be in their hollidays snowboarding, I am still working on the game. But it´s lots of fun. And I don´t have to stand in line waiting for the lift :-)
...coming soon(ish)

Physics Bugfix / Floating Rocks
I found a physics mistake I made in an update, which for the last couple of days made the controls stutter a little. It is fixed now and the carving should be smoother now. Sorry, if you had a bad experience.
Speaking of physics... these blue rocks don´t obey gravity anymore. I think it´s because they are filled with energy orbs.
Have fun! :-)
Happy BackToTheFutureDay
. How do you like the colors? Enviroment Update
Hi everyone,
I tried to make the enviroment a little prettier and exchanged the trees. Also i seeded some grass and flowers. Just a few yet. But perhaps they will spread. So please don´t hoVR on them :-)
For the latest control options I added buttons and descriptions:
- Smooth Turning
- Invert Thrust
- Looping mode (now even faster)
And I fixed some bugs.
Thank you very much for all your nice and helpfull feedback. You keep me motivated.

Controls Update
I do my best to fulfill your wishes...
Smooth Turning
- requested by many, now on touchpad press / joystick
- Personally I prefer to turn my whole body. That´s the way I developed the game and trained my VR-legs :-) But I understand that some people don´t like it.
- Please let me know if this works for you.
Invert Thrust
- Quick Fix: Press "i" on your keyboard during game, if you want to accelerate and boost with your front hand.
- I will add a menu solution later
Looping Mode
- Some very fearless users requested "upside down". So I experimented with this. My stomach does not like it. So all I can do is warn you:
- DON`T PRESS "L" during game! This will activate the looping mode.
- Then you can press Touchpad or Joystick up/down, when in air.
- Please let me know, if you survived this :-)
Spectator Camera
- If you want to make a video, you might want to use a 3rd Person camera
- Press "c" in game
- Use the arrow keys to move the cam
- Use PgUp / PgDwn to zoom
- Show me your stunts! :-)
Please let me know, if all of that works for you.
