Race, joust, and play CTF on hoverbikes. No punching, kicking or weapons allowed, though. (Yes that complicates things, but don't worry. The riders can't seem to stay on their bikes anyway.)

Description

Here is the first free alpha of Hoverbike Joust! X-box 360 controllers or equivalents are recommended, but you can play with a keyboard and other controllers too (see readme for details). This build is Windows-only for now, with Mac and Linux builds coming when I get time to fix inputs etc. There's a lot more info in the readme... probably too much. Enjoy!

I have hopes for this demo. Mostly of me doing stupid things and having fun and I hope you can deliver.

Pretty sweet alpha! My suggestions:

* Less floaty controls. I know they are hoverbikes, I just think things they are bit too unreliable, you know?
* I feel like the camera is pointing to far downwards, especially when going up slopes. I'd be nice if the camera tilted upward with the bike more.
* Alt should not be the default boost. E should be boost and just plain W should be forward.
* On a positive note: the aesthetic of the game is completely right on target. Nothing feels out of place.

This game has potential, for sure! Tracking! :D
