![]() The difficulty settings would be particularly welcome as the game is especially challenging right now - particularly for those who don’t have much experience with Muse Dash!ĭespite the fact that nullrefrepro doesn’t have any plans to expand the game beyond its two current songs, it’s still worth experiencing for the beautiful pixel art and animation, and the excellent chiptune adaptations of the music.Ĭheck it out for yourself here! WOWOWOW KORONE BOXĪnother Korone-themed Hololive fan game, this time providing some twin-stick shooter-style survival action with a strong emphasis on collecting objects, and drawing inspiration from Vlambeer’s Super Crate Box and Nuclear Throne. ![]() The game is based on a non-interactive animation originally created by zeth_total, and was developer nullrefrepro’s attempt to figure out how to put together rhythm game mechanics - as such, the latter has no plans to expand the game further beyond the two-song demo it currently is, except perhaps from adding some difficulty settings and bug fixes as required. In HoloEN Rhythm Game, you control an energetic Gawr Gura as she attempts to fend off a series of attacks from Kiara or Calli to the accompaniment of some charming chiptune adaptations of their original songs Hinotori and Red respectively. Give it a try for yourself here! HoloEN Rhythm GameĪnother rhythm-based Hololive fan game, this one heavily inspired by the popular Muse Dash, which has been played by a number of VTubers on stream when people behind the scenes aren’t being weird about permissions. That said, if you’re already a dab hand at frantic, difficult rhythm games there’s a ton to like here - and as a recent release (it only came out today at the time of writing!) it’s highly likely that developer Fie will tweak and refine the game a bit as time goes on. Thankfully, there is a “no death” option that allows you to just enjoy the song without worrying about “failing”, but it’s hard not to feel like this is missing the point of the game somewhat. The gameplay is tuned a bit too difficult for more casual rhythm game players, however a deceptively simple tutorial is accessible enough, but as soon as you try any of the actual songs you’re likely to spend at least a few attempts lasting little more than a few seconds each time. Presentation-wise, Deadbeat is absolutely gorgeous, featuring a wonderful pixel art aesthetic with some excellent special effects and choreographed animations to accompany the various songs - it can feel like playing an interactive pixel art music video at times. This Hololive fan game, heavily inspired by the popular indie title Everhood, challenges you to face off against the Grim Reaper herself in a series of rhythmic battles in which you’ll need to dodge “walls”, jump over slash attacks and counter whenever you can - all while listening to Calli spitting some of her finest fire at you. If you’re feeling particularly pro, you can try to meet the quota of collectible moustaches and find the three hidden Bubba tokens in each stage, but neither are required to progress - all stages are open right from the outset. Providing a “hub world” that leads to several different levels, each themed after a different Hololive member or one of their creative works, Smol Ame challenges you to reach the end of each stage (where you have to ground-pound a button marked “mom”, of course) as quickly as possible, with as few deaths as you can manage. ![]() ![]() Crucially, though, no understanding of why Gura says “a” when she jumps or why everything Amelia does is accompanied by a hiccup is required to enjoy Smol Ame - it’s simply a fun game that anyone can play and find amusing. Most followers of the VTuber scene are likely familiar with Smol Ame by now, as it’s one of the most famous Hololive fan games - several members of Hololive have even played it on stream.Īnd it’s a famous Hololive fan game for a reason - it’s a great 2.5D platformer in the style of PlayStation classics like Pandemonium, and features a wide selection of playable characters and levels to play - plus a ton of delightful in-jokes for those who are particularly well up on their VTuber culture.
