We learned earlier this week in our SwitchArcade Roundup that developer Picomy’s flying platformer Heroki would be arriving on the Nintendo Switch on July 20th, but that doesn’t mean that they’ve forgotten about their roots on mobile. Today a new self-published version of Heroki ($4.99) has arrived in the App Store bringing with it all sorts of new features, including “full HD support for high-end devices such as iPhone Plus models and the iPad Pro, all running @ 60fps; full support for iPhone X; iMessage Stickers; full support for Apple TV 4K; lots of gameplay improvements and several bug fixes and performance improvements." Heroki was originally released on iOS back in July of 2015 and was published by Sega. According to a post from Picomy in our forums, this is what has happened since that time and why they’re moving forward the way they are: 3 years after Heroki’s release, SEGA was going to discontinue Heroki on the App Store and they decided to give back Heroki free for us to release and support in the future (Which is a great gesture by the way!).
The plan was to transfer their version to our App Store account, but because Heroki uses iCloud, the transfer was technically impossible.
So therefore, we and SEGA searched for the best possible solution and therefore Heroki was also updated on SEGA’s account so that the current SEGA users can still enjoy Heroki on their latest iDevices.

While it’s very cool of Sega...
