7/10
Hoa is a beautiful but brief puzzle-platform adventure that's all chilling and no killing.

8/10
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.

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 the cutest rhinoceros beetles you ever did see.

A great Ghibli platformer art piece
Very short game but beautiful artwork and sound design that carries a lot of Joe Hisaishi influence as well. This game's warm atmosphere puts you at ease as you solve puzzles while immersing yourself in this dream-like world filled with imagination that brings you back to your youth. Highly recommend this one for sure <3

Nice, beautiful, calm
Lovely short game. If you get it for a few bucks it's totally worth it to play with a girlfriend or a small child. It's very sweet, colorful, the mechanics are well crafted.

Simply Relaxing Game Ruined By Ending
I was quite enjoying this game until the very ending level with reverse controls and inverted color schemes. It is an accessibility nightmare. Not to mention the final half of games cutscenes had some weird flickering artifacting that cause some minor eye strain.
