App Army Assemble: A Fragile Mind - \"Will this puzzler leave you scratching your head?\"

This week, the Pocket Gamer 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 a mixed but largely positive response.

Here's a summary of their feedback:

Swapnil Jadhav: Initially skeptical due to the game's icon, Jadhav found the gameplay unique and engaging, praising the challenging yet rewarding puzzles. He recommends playing on a tablet for optimal experience.

Max Williams: Williams described A Fragile Mind as a point-and-click adventure with static pre-rendered graphics. While he appreciated the clever, albeit sometimes obvious, puzzles and the fourth-wall-breaking humor, he found the navigation slightly confusing at times. Despite this, he highly recommends the game as a strong example of the genre.

Robert Maines: Maines enjoyed the first-person puzzle adventure, though he noted the graphics and sound were unremarkable. He found the puzzles challenging, requiring occasional walkthrough assistance. While short, he recommends it for puzzle adventure enthusiasts.

Torbjörn Kämblad: Kämblad found A Fragile Mind to be a less impressive escape-room style puzzler. He criticized the muddy presentation, awkward UI choices (menu button placement), and pacing issues, resulting in a somewhat tedious experience.

Mark Abukoff: Abukoff, usually uninterested in puzzle games due to their difficulty, found A Fragile Mind surprisingly enjoyable. He appreciated the visuals, atmosphere, intriguing puzzles, and the helpful hint system. He highly recommends it despite its short length.

Diane Close: Close described the game's unique puzzle structure, comparing it to a giant Jenga game, where multiple puzzles interweave. She praised the gameplay, humor, visual and sound options, accessibility features, and overall enjoyment.
