App Developers Showcase Cognitive Mind Bender

This week, Pocket Gamer's App Army tackled the puzzle adventure A Fragile Mind from Glitch Games. The game, a twist on the classic escape room formula with added humor, received mixed reviews. While some praised the challenging yet engaging puzzles and witty writing, others found the presentation lacking.

Max Williams

Max described the game as a point-and-click adventure with pre-rendered graphics. He found the puzzles logically challenging but appreciated the game's fourth-wall-breaking humor. While he praised the hint system's helpfulness, he noted some navigation challenges. Despite minor issues, he found it a solid example of the genre.
