4	''[[https://david-wu-softdev.itch.io/delivering-hope-hololive-fangame Delivering Hope]]'' is a ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'' FanGame developed by David Wu, with gameplay based on the likes of ''Kitten Cannon'' or ''VideoGame/TossTheTurtle'', launching your character as far as possible.
5
6	The goal of the game is to deliver hope -- that is, [[Characters/HololiveEnglishProjectHope IRyS]] -- by throwing her as far as possible, making her go farther with her soda boosts, various characters that help launch her (intentionally or otherwise), while avoiding the statue of [[Characters/HololiveEnglishGenerationTwoCouncil Hakos Baelz]], who'll stop her run. How far can hope go?

9	!!Delivering Tropes:
10	* AchievementMockery: "you, sleb" unlocks upon starting a run at 3 AM.
11	* AbilityMixing: Introduced in V3 is the ability to combine different max level upgrades into one, resulting in another perk in addition to the benefits of prior upgrades (while also freeing up a slot). For example: Double Soda plus Extra Boost Slots turns into Big Soda, causing the sodas to be replaced with a large soda can that's easier for [=IRyS=] to hit and subsequently collect.
12	* AutoRevive: One consumable obtained through either leveling up or from hitting [[ThePhoenix Kiara]] (80% for this to happen) is Rebirth, which allows [=IRyS=] to revive with an extra boost and the boost charge maxed out upon reaching a GameOver condition. Consequently, this is limited to once per run.
13	* BitchSlap: Courtesy of Fauna being associated with slapping as her SignatureMove, Fauna here slaps [=IRyS=] hard enough to send her flying forwards, serving as the equivalent to Calli in Beach mode.
14	* BlandNameProduct: TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}} is featured here as "Holopoly."
15	* ButtMonkey: Kronii's role in the game is to be an unsuspecting bystander that's busy relishing in her own beauty, only to get met with [=IRyS=] [[AmusingInjuries flying into her face.]]
16	* CharacterLevel: Upon reaching certain milestones, [=IRyS=] gains a level, and with it several options: including buffing the stats of [=IRyS=], buffing obstacles that benefit [=IRyS=] (Calli's and Kronii's launch power increases, Mumei's {{Jumpscare}} effect triggering sooner, better RNG with the Monopoly, etc), and safeguards to counter any run-enders (Rat Blocker and Divorce Papers for hitting Bae, Hot Sauce and SUPER Hot Sauce for meatballs, Last Hope for slowing down without boosts, and Rebirth for stopping for any reason).
17	* CosmeticAward: Introduced in V3, [=IRyS=] can unlock cosmetic to use in the Dressing Room, giving her head accessories, items to hold on hand, and particle effects.
18	* DistractedByTheSexy: According to the How To Play, this is why [=IRyS=] stops upon hitting Bae. She just can't help but admire her. And for that same reason, one of the few things that can make [=IRyS=] avoid a GameOver is [[RelationshipRevolvingDoor divorce papers.]]
19	* EasterEgg:
20	** After a set amount of time in a dedicated run, the BGM will play "Gravity (Mic Check)", a rip of one of [=IRyS=]'s karaoke streams where she attempted to [[StylisticSuck half-heartedly]] sing "Gravity" before cutting it short.
21	** By going back and fourth on the "Try Again" option in the pause menu, [[Characters/HololiveIndonesiaGenerationThree Vestia Zeta]] will peak out in the corner of the sub-window.
22	* EndlessGame: The goal of the game is to make it as far as possible, without slowing down or stopping because of Bae. Averted with V3's Bae-less mode, having a time limit that forcibly ends the run, with the trade-off being no other instant game over condition.
23	* ExperienceMeter: As [=IRyS=] flies to the right, the meter below fills until the next level-up, with the distance requirement getting higher for each level, and the meter getting subsequently slower.
24	* FastballSpecial: The game's general premise, starting off with [=GuyRyS=] "Yeet-ing" [=IRyS=], and most other holomems in the middle of the run pitching in to toss her further.
25	* GameOver: Touching a Bae statue without safeguards or just slowing down and stopping completely will result in the run ending.
26	* LighterAndSofter: ''Delivering Hope'' is inspired by the aforementioned games ''Kitten Cannon'' and ''VideoGame/TossTheTurtle''. But unlike those games, which operate on BlackComedy and BloodyHilarious, this game is more cartoonish, with {{Slapstick}} fueling the premise.
27	* LOL69: The speed modifier unlocked for clearing 30K meters is 1.69, the bonk potion consumable automatically fills the Down Boost meter to 69% six times in a run, and one shop upgrade that allows for two item slots costs 6969.
28	* LuckBasedMission: The aptly titled "Gacha Mode", a standard game-mode except everybody looks like the GameOver obstacle, Bae. Whereas the standard mode has it clearly defined that Bae should be avoided, this game-mode completely up-ends the concept by having any obstacle you come across be a potential end to your run, and you'd won't know until it's too late.
29	* MythologyGag:
30	** One of the first holomens added to allow [=IRyS=] to fly further is Calli, who has a bizarre fascination with "Yeet-ing" those smaller than her.
31	** Monopoly, (or rather, [[BlandNameProduct Holopoly]]) is featured in association with [=IRyS=], in reference to her using it as a SexualEuphemism for her and Bae's [=BaeRyS=] fanfiction.
32	** Tofu is featured as both an unlockable cosmetic and a counterpart to the meatball obstacle in Beach mode, referencing the UnusualEuphemism [=IRyS=] used to describe her re-design's [[FanservicePack newly defined assets.]]
33	** One unlockable accessory that [=IRyS=] can hold is a Bae body pillow, which serves as a parallel to Bae's own equivalent [=IRyS=] pillow that's featured in one of her ''Delivering Hope'' streams.
34	** The MYTH Galleria is the hololive office building that's littered with various references. Notable details include the satellite that's crashed through the side of the building, plus the broken window boarded up with planks of wood (an indication of DestinationDefenestration that's happened throughout ''[=HoloGra=]'' as a RunningGag).
35	** Picking up the strawberry and subsequently hitting Bae results in her carrying [=IRyS=] overhead and drop-kicking them into the sky, just like what Bae did in her 2023 birthday stream at the end of [=IRyS=]'s segment.
36	* NitroBoost: [=IRyS=] can boost up forward with her soda, with there [[ResourcesManagementGameplay being a limit to how much soda can be held/used at a time]]. Alternatively, there's the Down Boost function, which is passively charged when [=IRyS=]'s within a certain altitude, and is limited to launching downwards.
37	* ResourcesManagementGameplay: Your [[NitroBoost soda boosts]], capped at three by default, are a precious resource for clearing detrimental obstacles and continuing the run. The boost can only be recovered by collecting soda, either found littering the field at the mercy of RNG, or via level-up option.
38	* SignificantReferenceDate: The higher speed option of 1.37, as confirmed by the developer, is an intentional reference to [=IRyS=]'s birthdate of March 7th (3/7).
39	* ShoutOut:
40	** The Windy Banana features [=IRyS=]'s emblem in the center, akin to the large banana in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'' with its 64 symbol.
41	** The description for the Timesmith Fusion in the Investigation office gives us a modified quote from [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Team Rocket:]]
42	--->''Prepare for trouble! And make it double!\
43	The dream team boosts [=chibiRyS=] at the speed of light!\
44	Surrender now and prepare to fight!\
45	Wait... Something is not right.
46	* SuperDeformed: [=IRyS=] herself is depicted as "[=ChibiRyS=]", making her small enough (at one half/a third of their height) for her to be thrown around by other members. Fauna is also depicted as their 3D "Smol" form.
47	* ThinkingUpPortals: Ninomae Ina'nis, upon being hit, throws [=IRyS=] upwards through a portal of her creation, with it sending her randomly flying in several different angles forward, including down and upwards.
48	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Strawberries for Bae. If [=IRyS=] manages to collect the rarely spawning strawberry, instead of causing a GameOver (or consuming a Bae Blocker/Divorce Papers), Bae will kick [=IRyS=] into the sky forward.
