Hover Attack

I just bought this game for the full price, $17.99. I cringe when I pay this much for a AAA game, which I usually buy on sale, like Death Stranding, which I bought for less than this. But a week ago, I bought most of Mindware's games during a Steam sale for super cheap, and I loved all of them. I left comments on all the games, and next thing I know, the game developer strikes up a chat with me while I'm on Steam. He's so passionate about the games he releases, and he spends hundreds of hours troubleshooting his games and adding updates (he currently has over 500 hours logged into Hover Attack). I only needed to buy this game to own Mindware's entire collection on Steam. I researched this game and found that it was the inspiration for Bangai-O, a popular shooter from the past. I had to buy this. I saw in this game's discussion that a user was already creating mods for this, and I added some of his creations to the game. Nice! I have to say I love the way this developer puts so much work into these new renditions of the game. I wish all classic games got this much attention. I will put a lot of effort into this game, I feel like a kid sitting in front of my TV with my old game consoles back in the 1970's and '80's when I play this! EDIT: Just had a Steam chat with the developer, I asked him what the '3671' meant on some of his games, he said the following: "For the first time in Cosmic Cavern, 3671 was given a title. The Japanese title is very long when translated into English, so it was named Cosmic Cavern, but since this name violates the trademark, 3671 was added to the end of the title. This was done by the American translator. I didn't know what it meant at first, and when I asked what it meant, I was told, "It's your birthday." I was born on March 6, 1971." And there you go. It's all in the details. Gotta love this company! So much fun playing Mindware games! When I'm playing Hover Attack, the developer is usually online on Steam and also playing Hover Attack! How cool is that? :)

オリジナルは、しゃがんでからジャンプすると高く飛べたり、ホバーを節約出来たりしたけど、 その移植がされていないですね、ホバーアタックはそれが面白かったので、アップデートを希望します。

[h1]レビュー一番乗り！40年越しの夢が再び！[/h1] 1984年に雑誌掲載され、その後製品版で各機種に移植された懐かしのゲーム とはいえ、このゲームの主戦場はSHARP X1だったのではないでしょうか。 たしか6年ほど前にhover attackを完璧に再現したものを作った方が原作者Geppi氏を探して見つかった、なんてことがありましたが その結晶がこの製品ということなんでしょうかね。 以下 Build Dec. 29th. 2021でのレビューです レトロ8bit PCゲー特有の理不尽さと無作法なインターフェースで今時の若いゲーマーは絶対楽しめないと思いますが だが、それがいい ゲームの仕組みとしては台座のようなキャリーをベースとしてロボットを適宜動かして行き先をクリアリング、再びベースを前進させていくというアクションゲームです。 基本 画面左に進んでいき攻撃も左に向かってのみ＆上中下にミサイルを打つことだけで近接攻撃とかはありません。 ゲームフィールはおそらく昔のまま。 ロボ移動はもっさりとしていて空中でホバーを貯めて短時間滞空する機動を身に着けるのがカギとなります。 このゲームの当時最大の特徴、ステージ作成機能は当時そのままにとても不親切ながら 完璧に再現されています 他ユーザ作成ステージを選んで遊ぶモードが用意されているので、この辺がうまく機能すれば[strike]老害[/strike]じゃなかった古参兵の気持ちが再び熱くたぎるタイトルとなるとおもいます。 現ビルドではバグがいくつか存在しており [list] * option->game settingsが開かない。29th.Dec.2021のちょっと前＝数日前のverでは開いて全画面表示設定ができてたような、、 *ゲーム起動直後、ステージ開始直後にCTDするバグあり 再現性不明 *ロボ左右移動が極端に遅くなるバグあり 再現性不明 [/list] 若干不安定な感はあります。だがそれがいい。よかったら年明け2022年以降もバッチリバグとり＆コミュニティ盛り上げてまいりましょうー

昔X1でプレイしたホバーアタック面白かったなあ・・・と、ふと思い出していたところに偶然このゲームが開発中なのを知り発売を心待ちにしていました。 原作とは違い機体を選択できるようになり、機動力が低く耐久値が高いOhzeki、機動力が高く耐久値が低いLady shooter・・・ 更にキャリアもそれぞれ特殊能力が違い、マップを見れたり、耐久値を回復させたり・・・と機体毎に攻略法が変わってきます。 そしてBGMが良くてMDテクノソフトの曲あたりが好きな自分にはツボでゲームをしていない時もずっと脳内で流れています 笑 直感で操作できるゲームでは無いので人を選びそうですが、この機体どうにか乗りこなしてみせる！という気になれば楽しめると思います。

A fun game from a great dev, looking for a challenge? You found it :) send some game play tips my way! and send some love to: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198048601293/

ビジュアルはまさに在りし日のホバーアタックそのもの。 気に入らなかったのはホバーの音かな、PSGで単気筒エンジンみたいな音でホバーを吹かしてくれたら最高だった。

Excellent game.

History: Hover Attack 3671 is a remake of a game that first showed up on the Sharp X1 in the form of a set of BASIC code in Japan's I/O Magazine in 1984 for the Sharp X1, and when it hit big time with youths that were dreaming of being a hero like Amuro Ray from Mobile Suit Gundam, the game spread onto the PC-88 and FM-7, and even had a fan port to PC by a Japanese fan in 2019. Mindware picked this game up to remake it with permission from Mr. GEPPI! (typo I forgot to correct), who is the author of the original Sharp X1 version. This game is part of a series of remakes from the early days of Japanese computing, under the 3671 moniker. Graphics - The visuals have not changed much when ingame, but the new graphics they have are suitably retro as well, with a stylized dot-matrix font for text. Animations are also touched up, like missile trails and such. Overall, the original graphics still hold up. Sound - The soundtrack is in OGG format, but it's clear that retro hardware, software and/or plugins were used to create a suitably retro soundtrack which turns out to be an absolute BANGER. From high-intensity tracks to ones that remind you that in-universe, this Attacker job is serious business. Gameplay - Hover Attack 3671 is a straight upgrade to the gameplay beats of the original, and has some additions. The basic gameplay is that you can only attack to the left and in one of 3 directions, diagonally down, diagonally up, and straight forward. The enemy can attack in all 8 directions strictly, so it turns into a game of outmaneuvering and shooting at the right time, which is made easier by the fact that the game no longer operates on a grid. Mechanics - You are paired up with a portable hover carrier, that provides radar if you hold down while docked and automatically refills your missiles. Both your mech (the Attacker) and the hovercraft have limited HP, and the moment one of them goes out of commission, it's game over. The main goal is to destroy the base on the other side. Moment you dust that base the level's complete and you move to the next underground base. As for additions to the gameplay, there are 2 extra mechanics available, depending on what Attacker you pick: a missile pack or a grenade pack. The missile pack adds 10 missiles to your missile pod and ignores the maximum it can hold, and the grenade pack lets you chuck grenades at your enemies in the event you're pinned down or don't want to catch hands from a sneakily-placed defensive position. Controls - This game has full support for Xinput devices, meaning you can get started right away if you prefer a controller, but the keyboard controls are also quite intuitive. Pros - Fun little game with a challenge that awaits you. Often cited as a direct inspiration for the Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaioh series, you'll definitely see why people say that. Cons - If you're a fan of high-end graphics, you'll easily be turned off by the lack thereof. However, give it a try still.

PS5コントローラー購入記念('ω')ノ 方向転換できないロボット風味の機体とホバークラフトっぽいベースを利用して戦う一風変わったゲームですね。 独特な操作を要求されるので難易度は低くないですが、操作するだけで楽しいです(*‘∀‘) キーボード操作だけでなくゲームパッドも使用できるので安心してください('ω')ノ PS5コントローラーも使用可能です('ω')ノ
