Hoa is a platform-adventure game featuring beautiful hand-painted art and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The game follows the main character, Hoa, as she discovers her own story on a journey through a breathtaking and magical world back to her homeland.
A gorgeous, non-violent puzzle platformer with big Studio Ghibli vibes, Hoa is a brief but brilliant tale about the healing power of nature (and cute beetles).
Hoa is a lovely little game that pretty much anyone of any age can enjoy. It's not trying to do something new, but rather whisk you off on a short, beautiful adventure full of positivity.
Young players still green to the simple story ideas and to platforming fundamentals will find absolute magic in Hoa. The orchestral score and hand-painted backdrops have the power to whisk imaginations away like nothing else. The tried-and-true design of a modern platform game, while unsurprising to seasoned players, will delight budding gamers getting to know the genre. Apart from its closing stage, Hoa is a paint-by-numbers platformer – and the painting is exceptional, even if everything stays carefully inside the lines.
Hoa is a beautiful but brief puzzle-platform adventure that’s all chilling and no killing.
