What's New in Helichopter
2.1
October 30, 2026
New Hangar on the Home screen: choose the menu theme there, with a preview of each one. The menu theme has moved from Settings, which now has a button that opens the Hangar. When Settings is locked, the Hangar is locked too. Rebuilt menus: Home, Settings, Pause, and Round Over now fade as one whole screen, so two menus never appear at the same time. Taps and switch presses wait until the new screen is ready. With Reduce Motion on, the fade is shorter. New ways to fly and pause: - VoiceOver Direct Touch (on by default): with VoiceOver on, touch the lower half of the game to fly at once, with no double-tap. Gap guidance is still spoken, and the Pause button stays at the top. Turn it off in Settings to fly with double-taps and actions. - In Auto Hover and Up/Down Switches, touch above the middle of the screen to move up and below it to move down. A faint line marks the middle. - Pausing suits each flight scheme. In Tap to Flap and Hold to Hover, the secondary switch pauses at once. In Up/Down Switches, hold both switches for half a second, so holding one switch to rise no longer pauses. New setting Pause by Holding Switch turns off hold-to-pause for players who pause by accident. Accessibility improvements: - VoiceOver reads each Settings switch and slider once, with its description as a hint, and announces each screen once. Settings sections are headings, so the rotor can jump between them. - Sliders open a Decrease and Increase page when activated, so they can be adjusted without dragging. - Time settings are spoken in seconds, and other sliders as a percentage. - Clearer names: Menu Scan Mode is now Timed or Step with Switch 2, and the two-switch flight scheme is now Up/Down Switches. - Locked Settings controls now show as dimmed. Other changes: - In a narrow iPad window, such as Split View or Slide Over, the game is drawn larger. - A game controller's d-pad can now move down in Auto Hover and Up/Down Switches. - In Tap to Flap and Hold to Hover, the secondary switch no longer starts a round without moving the helicopter. - In No-Fail Mode, landing on a pipe corner no longer pushes the helicopter forwards or backwards. - The app uses less power on menu screens.
