Third time’s the charm: Hanaa 0.3.0 is here!

The main goal of this release is to make Hanaa more approachable. There’s a brand-new default track designed for quicker sessions and an easier start. If the wildlife behaves, you should be able to reach the goal in just a few pushes.

I’ve also tackled some pacing issues. Cars now come to a stop more quickly, transition animations are snappier, and physics have been tuned for greater stability. Power adjustment has been slowed down slightly to give you more precise control. Still plenty to fine-tune, but it’s a step forward.

Looking ahead, the winter track “Marraskuu” is likely getting a full redesign. Right now, it’s too long and too unpredictable. So enjoy it while it lasts.
