## What is Hadeda Havoc?

Everyone in South Africa knows the hadeda: the big grey ibis with the iridescent wings and the absurdly loud HAA-HAA-HAA-DE-DAH that goes off over the suburbs at dawn. Now you get to fly one.

Hadeda Havoc is a one-tap arcade game. Tap to flap, thread the gaps, and dash through a parallax tour of Mzansi.

FEATURES
- One tap to play. Easy to learn, hard to master.
- A six-city tour: Cape Town under Table Mountain, the Stellenbosch winelands, the jacarandas and Union Buildings of Pretoria, the Joburg skyline, the painted Orlando Towers of Soweto, and the Durban beachfront, each hand-drawn with its own look and smooth transitions.
- The Screech: charge up the HAA-HAA-HAA-DE-DAH, bank up to three, and chain-fire them to blast hazards out of the sky.
- Highveld thunderstorms: ride out the rain and lightning for a bonus.
- The taxi gauntlet: the road clears and you dodge swerving minibus taxis.
- Snacks: grab vetkoek, koeksisters and biltong for bonus points.
- Chase medals, beat your best, and share your score card with your mates.
- Original hand-drawn art, a real hadeda call, proudly local humour, no accounts, no nonsense.

Quick to pick up and very Mzansi. Sharp sharp!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-08

Difficulty rebalance:

- The climb builds properly now. The first few obstacles are still a gentle glide, but the squeeze arrives when it should instead of halfway through a long run.
- The HAA! is rarer, so it counts. Fewer free saves, and two in the bank instead of three - holding one back for the right moment is a real decision now.
- Long flights keep escalating. Tighter clusters, bigger taxi ranks and longer Highveld storms all kick in sooner.

HAA-HAA-HAA-DE-DAH!

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-07

Quick polish flight-in:

- Fixed: the Settings and Sound buttons on the title screen would start a run instead of opening. Tap away - they behave now.
- Smoother music and ambience handoffs as you fly city to city (no more stray track playing over the new one).
- Under-the-hood performance tune-up for silkier long runs.

HAA-HAA-HAA-DE-DAH!

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-26

The difficulty was rebuilt from scratch.

- It now starts genuinely easy and keeps climbing. The first few obstacles are slower with wider gaps, and the climb is gentler, so you get a proper chance to warm up.
- Difficulty is keyed to how far you have flown, not your score, so grabbing snacks and playing well no longer makes the game harder than it should be.
- Gaps no longer jump from the top of the screen to the bottom between obstacles.
- It also keeps getting harder for much longer, so a really good run stays interesting.

New hand-painted ground for all six cities, and nine new snack sprites.

Fixes:
- The taxi-rank shout and hooter now fire with the first taxi instead of a beat early, and the road is genuinely clear before the taxis arrive.
- Storm rain and lightning no longer freeze on the game-over screen.
- Callouts no longer ride up into the score, or stack on top of each other.
- The taxi callout is now translated, and the game-over buttons announce correctly to VoiceOver.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-26

Smoother skies, cleaner horizons, and a share button that actually works.

FIXED
- Sharing your score to WhatsApp. Pick a contact and it sends, first time.
- A visible seam running through the cloud layer, most noticeable over Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Joburg.
- Callouts piling on top of each other when a few landed at once.
- The edge of the world showing through during a big screech.

IMPROVED
- The horizon now hazes softly into the distance instead of stopping at a hard line.
- Faster rendering throughout, so the busy moments stay smooth: storms, taxi gauntlets and city changes.
- Drifting leaves and petals now look like leaves and petals.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-15
