That One Thing
Every run turns familiar fan mascots into a ridiculous machine of colliding weapons, stamps and screen-filling spectacle.
Adds PippleCultist's HoloCure Multiplayer Mod to HoloCure — Save the Fans!, so you can run stages co-op with friends. PlayBound installs the Aurie mod loader and the mod for you in one click.
The mod plays over LAN: one player hosts a session and everyone else finds it on the same network. PlayBound Connect supplies that network. Click Join Game in a party and Connect puts every member on one shared segment, then points HoloCure at it, so a LAN session works across the internet without you configuring anything. In game it is Play → Multiplayer → use the saved network adapter, then Host LAN Session for the leader and Join LAN Session for everyone else.
This is experimental community software, not an official HoloCure feature. The mod's author notes it may have occasional crashes since a lot is modified in the game to get networking working. Your saves remain completely safe in %LOCALAPPDATA%\HoloCure and you can switch to unmodded vanilla HoloCure at any time.
