Elektronite's next game is a fully licensed conversion of the legendary Jeff Minter/Llamasoft classic Hover Bovver and will be available in Summer 2013!!

Here we bring you an early look at the game that originally appeared on the Atari 8-bit computers and the Commodore 64 back in 1983.

The purpose of the game is to mow the lawn (using the neighbours mower) whilst avoiding static obstacles, like the flowerbeds, and mobile enemies, such as the neighbour himself. Your pet dog will antagonise the neighbour and keep him away from you, but as the dog itself is vulnerable to the mower, care must be taken not to run it over!

The player's only weapon istheir dog, by hitting the fire button, the player can set the dog on the neighbour or gardener. This causes them to run away, or freeze in place. The amount of time for which this can be done is limited. The dog remains active all the time, roaming randomly on the board even when not being used to attack. The Dog Tolerance meter slowly drops, representing a time limit. Once this reaches zero, the dog will begin to attack the mower, causing an immediate overheat if he manages to bite it. If Dog Loyalty remains the dog can be distracted from attacking the mower by commanding it to attack the neighbour or gardener instead. Also, if the mower collides with the dog, the Dog Tolerance meter immediately drops to zero.
