When to Play Hover Racing
Hover Racing fits when you want a WebGL neon time-attack lap with air-brake handling, a one-time ~11 MB download, and a best lap plus ghost saved only in this browser.
When you have WebGL and a few minutes
When you have WebGL and a few minutes, Hover Racing fits: a Cityscape lap is a focused session with checkpoints, boost pads, and air-brakes through hairpins. Pick it when you can wait for the first ~11 MB load, then race from cache.
When keyboard, touch, or gamepad is available
When keyboard, touch, or gamepad is available, Hover Racing is ready: the start menu offers all three. There is no mouse steering and no tilt option. Skip if you only have a pointer and no keyboard, touch, or gamepad.
When local best-lap tracking matters
Best times and ghost replays stay in this browser's localStorage. No accounts, no online boards - good when you want a private PB to chase.
When to pick another racer
When to pick another racer instead of Hover Racing: want a ~34 KB canvas highway with pointer-lock mouse steering and no saves? Use Retro Highway Racer. Want a tiny neon run with a saved best score? Use Neon Circuit Racer (~43 KB).
