About game
Staring at the clock during a slow afternoon is the worst, but Hover Bastion turns that downtime into a high-stakes salvage mission. You take control of a floating rig that transforms into a deadly hover bastion as you scrape together parts from a hostile wasteland. Maneuver through waves of incoming fire while managing your energy levels to keep your drill active. Since your turrets blast enemies automatically, you focus entirely on dodging projectiles and deciding which scrap to bolt onto your chassis next. Each new upgrade physically shifts your platform shape, creating a custom silhouette that dictates your defensive capability. You need to balance weight and firepower to outlast the escalating pressure of the waves. Balancing rapid mining with combat positioning creates a fast-paced loop that keeps your reflexes sharp.

How to play
Your goal is to mine scrap, improve the platform, and survive increasingly dangerous attacks.
Move with WASD, the left stick, or the virtual joystick. Hold Space or the on-screen drill button to charge a drill dash. Press E or the interaction button to mine resources and activate objects.
Use the left mouse button to mark a priority target. Weapons fire automatically.
During module placement, use the arrow keys or pointer to select a socket, Q and E to rotate, Enter to install, and Escape to cancel. Page Up and Page Down switch between available sockets. Press P to pause.
Collect scrap, protect critical modules, and keep the platform within its mass limit.
