Crunchyroll Opens Pre-Registration for Stunning 2D Puzzle-Platformer Hoa on Mobile

Crunchyroll is bringing Hoa to mobile, and pre-registration is now open for the beautiful puzzle-platformer. The game originally launched on PC in August 2021, developed by Vietnam-based Skrollcat Studio. It’s a peaceful 2D adventure that offers exploration, light puzzles, movement, and music.

Hoa on mobile might feel like you’re walking through a living painting

Yes, the hand-painted art in the game is that good. The environments are full of forests, caves, mossy rocks, sunlight filtering through trees and giant leaves. It has a soft, hand-drawn animation look that will instantly remind you of your favourite Studio Ghibli movie.

You play as Hoa, a small fairy who can bring life back to the world around her. After being away from her homeland for a long time, she returns and finds that the ecosystems she once knew need her help again. So, she travels through forests, hidden caves and sun-drenched clearings to gradually uncover pieces of her own past and the history of the land.

Hoa purely focuses on flow. You move around using intuitive physics-based movement, solve environmental puzzles and just wander around at your own pace. There are also plenty of weird little forest creatures hanging around. Some can help Hoa reach higher platforms, while others communicate the history of the forest through their little interactions.

The soundtrack is a pretty big part of the game. Hoa has an orchestral score recorded with live instruments, and the music dynamically changes alongside your movement. Catch a glimpse of the game in the trailer below.

The mobile version of Hoa is exclusive to Crunchyroll Mega and Ultimate Fan Memberships. It’s optimised specifically for mobile, with touchscreen controls, no ads, and no in-app purchases for members. You can pre-register the game on the Google Play Store. It launches on September 9th, 2026.
