Dodge spooky pumpkins and creepy tombstones in this frighteningly fun Halloween themed game! This game was made in 24 hours to raise money and awareness for the amazing charity Special Effect (http://www.specialeffect.org.uk), who work to provide access to games for disabled people. Many thanks to everyone who took part, watched the stream and/or donated! Due to the time the app was built in, it has its quirks - namely long load times in between levels, no high-score system or saved data, and some small lighting issues. We are planning a second event to address these issues and add new, exciting features!

Find your rhythm in a helicopter obstacle game you can adjust to suit your play. Fly through the gaps, try another round, or keep practicing with No-Fail Mode. Start with Gentle, Standard, or Challenge, then adjust gap size, pipe speed, and hitbox forgiveness. Choose how you fly: - Tap to Flap - Hold to Hover - Auto Hover with altitude nudges - Up/Down Switches: one switch to rise, another to descend Make the experience comfortable: - No-Fail Mode lets you keep going after collisions. - Calm Mode removes collision sounds and impact vibration. - Show or hide the score, and switch music and sound effects on or off. - Adjust background scrolling and choose among three themes and six colour palettes. - Replay How to Play whenever you need a reminder. Menus and Settings offer scalable text and switch scanning. With VoiceOver, touch the game to fly at once, or use double-taps and actions; spoken gap guidance tells you where the next gap is. Each flight scheme has its own way to pause with switches, and Settings let you adjust the hold delay and scanning speed or turn hold-to-pause off.
