Back in 2014, a Jet Set Radio inspired, free-runner launched a campaign on Kickstarter and was successfully funded. Once the Kickstarter reached $60,000 the developers were able to bring in Jet Set Radio composer Hideki Naganuma to the team and help with the soundtrack.

In Hover’s latest update, it was announced that Hideki songs are now available to listen to! The game is currently in its early access phase and you can check it out right here.

Here are some of the others fixes that can be seen in the latest upgrade:

The Trick Score System is back!
Tricks don’t give energy anymore, but they increase your score, which in turn will give you more energy at the end of a trick combo. Grinding and sliding will keep giving energy instantly.
After a 100 points trick combo, you will generate an Energy Aura, it’s useful to boost your allies, open special containers or for some missions.

The Codex has been updated!
The ‘Friends Only’ online mode is now available.
There’s a new tunnel in Haven District, which leads from MoreMoreMore to Korupa.
