About
Holo vs Robo is a vibrant lane-based tower defense game where players command an army of 'HoloDolls'—charming caricatures of hololive VTubers—to repel waves of invading robots. Developed by solo creator Pompmaker1 under the 'holo Indie' label, the game combines classic strategy mechanics with deep lore references, character-specific abilities, and energetic remixes.
Story
A mysterious robot army is threatening the peace! Taking the role of the commander, players must utilize the unique powers of over 50 HoloDolls to protect their base. From Gura's shark prowess to Amelia's time-bending capabilities, every character brings a piece of their personality to the battlefield in a narrative that spans over 40 distinct stages.
Gameplay
Similar to the classic 'Plants vs. Zombies' formula, players manage resources to place units across defensive lanes. The gameplay evolves through strategic positioning, upgrading units to unlock devastating 'Super' attacks, and adapting to dynamic maps featuring chokepoints and environmental hazards. Success requires balancing resource economy with tactical unit countering against escalating enemy waves.
