Short and cute, but with all the ghibli comparisons I feel like it didn't really come over very ghibli-like at all to me. The animations are rather stiff and the locales and characters rather soulless. Only the very last 'level' actually had design elements that came over somewhat interesting, the rest of the game was rather uninspired. It's a rather 'nothing' game in terms of what I felt, but if you're just looking for a cozy, relaxing platformer you can finish in an afternoon, Hoa is perfect.
