Share your best runs Set a new record and you can now share a designed score card straight from the Game Over screen. Cleaner interface throughout Refreshed tab bar with larger, more legible labels. Smooth cross-fades between screens instead of hard cuts. Text across every screen is brighter and far easier to read, especially the mission log and briefing cards. The game has a voice now Every button has sound to go with its haptic, presses feel springier and more responsive, and haptic feedback fires the instant you clear a ring instead of a beat later. Thoughtful first-run experience New pilots now see real guidance instead of a wall of zeros - records, rankings and medals all show you what to aim for before you've flown a single mission. Accessibility Full Reduce Motion support across every screen, Dynamic Type on body text, higher contrast everywhere, and improved VoiceOver labels and tap targets.
