Crazy Taxi meets Fifth Element
Take to the skies in your flying taxi
Join Amber in her quest to become the fastest courier in the quadrant! Strafe, boost and use vertical movement to get around the sprawling metropolises of this open world action adventure game for PC and Consoles.
Take on jobs from funky clients
Life as a hover courier is never dull. From delivering giant ice sculptures strapped to the top of your car to helping a private eye chase down fugitives the gameplay of Hover Cabby is both fun and varied.
Hey kiddo, need an upgrade?
Meet Bobby Boost, Amber's surrogate uncle and mechanic that helps keep her cab in good shape. Bobby also offers upgrades such as the grappling hook, tumble drive and signal finder to help Amber get past obstacles and find secrets.
Expansive world
Visit locations such as the cosy and homey Crater Favela where Amber grew up to the dark corners of the mining city Risker's PIt deep underground or sprawling tall Skyscrapers of Nexus City. Hover Cabby will feature multiple cities for the player to explore and play around in.
Make it your own with the ingame level editor
To create a game with this large scope on an indie friendly budget a custom level editor has been built that allows cityscapes to be built quickly by merging hand crafted assets with procedural algorithms. This level editor will also be available to the players so the game can take on a life of it's own and support a living community of modders and fans.
What we are looking for
A publisher to provide funding, marketing, distribution and localization. If you are interested and want to know more you can contact Alexander Birke at alex@outofboundsgames.com to arrange a meeting and get the full pitch deck.
