Hao x Sora: The Sky's Abound

About

Hao x Sora: The Sky's Abound is a fast-paced platformer where you play a hero racing through futuristic environments on customizable hoverboards. The goal is to track down a longtime enemy while balancing speed and strategy. Each board has distinct handling traits you can swap between runs, letting you adapt to shifting terrain and obstacles. Gameplay loops around timed runs where you collect resources and upgrade your arsenal, but every decision feels urgent because the world doesn’t wait for second guesses. The game’s risk/reward system keeps things sharp, every run ends with a choice to either protect your gear or push further for bigger rewards, which often means crashing through tight finish lines. While the art style leans anime-inspired, the tight controls and escalating stakes make it stand out in the indie platformer crowd. Released October 2023 on PC, it’s a short but punchy experience that hits hardest when you least expect it.
