I played that in coop with a mate and it was great fun. Would recommend. Not a very long game, I think we did it in two sittings, but the puzzles are just hard enough to be interesting. It's pretty easy overall though.
I think an actual hoverboard will need to run using a completely different mechanism, so I doubt this has got us any closer. However, as a proof of concept for other purposes, it's quite impressive.
Rouge Squadron sounds like a game where you must assemble an elite force of turn-of-the-century hookers to do your bidding. Kind of like a Pimp Simulator 1910.
