Level Select, Window Mode & Bug Fixes!

Hoa

Hoa is a beautiful puzzle-platforming game that features breathtaking hand-painted art, lovely music, and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere.

Hey all! Since the launch, we have received a lot of awesome feedback from players suggesting ways to further improve the experience of Hoa, and while we could not implement all of them, we tried to include the ones that we believe will make the most impact in this first update of Hoa. Let's look through it.. [h2][b]Level Selection[/b][/h2] Players can now jump to any level they want with ease right from the main menu. Anybody who got stuck can now easily unstuck themselves with this feature, or reply any level you want!

This setting can be found in the Options pop-up from either the Main Menu or Pause Menu.

For those who got stuck here, you can get out by going to Level Selection, and choose to restart the Factory level.

We fixed this, and now the robot's chains can be activated in any scenario. For those who got stuck here, you can get out by going to Level Selection, and choose to restart the Factory level.

Those who managed to get there without Smash skill will get stuck and cannot go back to learn it. We fixed this, and now players will need to learn Smash skill to be able to reach there. For those who got stuck here, you can get out by going to Level Selection, and choose to restart the Underground level.
