Hozy Patch 1.2.1 Fixes Rug Physics, Save Progress, and a Stray Paintbrush

Developer tinyXsarion has released Patch 1.2.1 for Hozy, a small corrective update focused on bugs surfaced by the community since the last major update cycle.

What changed

  • Rug physics on the first level — Rugs in Hozy follow special placement rules that let them sit beneath furniture and be stored rolled up. After a physics update introduced for Sandbox Mode, that logic was not correctly applied to the first level, causing rugs to fall through other objects on save load. The fix brings the first level in line with the updated system.
  • Dream level paintbrush — The paintbrush was not returning to the paint bucket due to an incorrect configuration value, which has now been corrected.
  • Completed level progress not saving — If a player finished a level but exited via the Exit button rather than the Finish button, progress could fail to save entirely. Both exit paths now trigger a proper save.

The patch notes mention that larger updates are still in progress. For players who may have lost completed-level records due to the save bug, this fix closes what was a quiet but consequential gap in the game's progression logic.

Hozy Patch 1.2.1 Fixes Rug Physics, Paintbrush, and Save Progress

Developer tinyXsarion has shipped Patch 1.2.1 for Hozy, a focused maintenance release addressing bugs surfaced by the community since the previous update.

What changed

  • Rugs no longer fall through objects on save load. Rugs in Hozy follow special placement rules that let them sit beneath furniture or be stored rolled up. A physics update made for Sandbox Mode introduced logic that wasn't correctly applied to the first level, causing rugs to misplace themselves after a save was loaded. The fix brings that logic into alignment across the affected level.
  • The Dream level's paintbrush now returns to the paint bucket. The problem traced back to an incorrect configuration value — a narrow fix with a clear cause.
  • Completed levels now save progress reliably regardless of how a player exits. Previously, finishing a level and leaving via the Exit button — rather than the Finish button — could cause progress not to be recorded. Both exit paths now correctly commit completion state.

The team notes that larger updates are still in progress, and players who encounter further issues are directed to the official Hozy Discord server.

For anyone who found their carefully arranged rugs sunk into the floor or their finished levels unmarked on return, this patch closes those gaps cleanly.
