HoloCure (ホロキュア, Horokyua) is a free Hololive fan made game developed by Kay Yu. The game draws heavy inspiration from Vampire Survivors and Magic Survival.[1]
Within hours after its release, HoloCure became a viral hit, garnering over 50,000 downloads on its first day.[2] The game was also featured by numerous Hololive talents who streamed themselves playing the game.[3] In addition, the game's leaderboard functionality was disabled by the game's developer, citing the overwhelming data load.[4]
Development
Development of HoloCure began around late February 2022,[5] and on March 10, 2022, lead developer Kay Yu wrote a tweet announcing that he, DuDuL, and eufrik were working on a new Hololive fan game as a hobby, and shared a clip of an early build of the game. At the time, the game was titled Holo Fan Love.[6] The game was made using GameMaker Studio 2, with Yu having been familiar with the engine since 2008,[7] and online leaderboards were hosted using Firebase.[8]
Following a period of closed beta, the first public demo of the game was released on June 24, 2022 and included all members of Hololive English as playable characters.[9][10] The game's logo was designed by Ribbon Black and Japanese translation done by HighGai and Miss Wendi Gogh.[11]
The game's development is still ongoing and all development costs for the game were paid for by Yu out of his own pocket, including translation work and server costs. However, Yu has refused to accept donations for the game's development, citing his desire to keep the game strictly as a passion project.[12]
Plot
Set in the year 20XX, virtual idols have won the hearts of many on the internet. However, one day, an evil force brainwashes the fans and turns them into mindless minions. Hololive talents must now work to "cure" the fans and save them.
Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to Vampire Survivors. Players must move characters in an infinite 2D space, while swarms of mobs come on screen from all directions. As players kill mobs, they drop items. Most commonly, they drop experience points in the form of the Hololive logo. The experience points level up the characters, which give them access to a number of choice power ups to be selected upon each level up.
Two modes of gameplay are available: Stage and Endless. In stage mode, players must defeat the final boss to mark completion. In endless mode, players must survive the game as long as possible, while accumulating score.
Characters
The following are playable characters in-game. Each have their own unique set of power ups and special ability. The first five characters from Hololive English -Myth- are available as default characters. Additional characters must be pulled via the game's gacha system. More characters are planned to be added in future updates, as well as additional outfits.[13]
Power ups
The game offers a large number of power ups for the characters. Each character has their own exclusive set of power ups. The rest are made available for all characters, and some have particular references to All members. All can be upgraded a number of times, while some can actually be combined as "collaboration" for additional power.
