This week, the Pocket Gamer App Army tackled the puzzle adventure A Fragile Mind from Glitch Games. Reactions were mixed. Some lauded the challenging puzzles and witty humor, while others found the presentation lacking.

A Fragile Mind employs a classic escape-room structure with a humorous twist. We asked our App Army to share their experiences. Here's a summary of their feedback:

App Army Reviews of A Fragile Mind

Swapnil Jadhav: Initially skeptical due to the game's logo, Jadhav found the gameplay unique and engaging. He described the puzzles as challenging but rewarding, recommending playing on a tablet for the best experience.

Max Williams: Williams described the game as a point-and-click adventure with static pre-rendered graphics. While he found the puzzles clever ("fairly obvious once you know"), he noted some navigational confusion. He appreciated the hint system, although he felt it was perhaps too generous. Despite this, he plans to continue playing.

Robert Maines: Maines found the first-person puzzle adventure challenging, requiring occasional walkthrough assistance. While the graphics and sound were adequate, he noted the game's brevity and lack of replayability. He still recommends it for puzzle adventure fans.

Torbjörn Kämblad: Kämblad found A Fragile Mind to be a lower-quality escape-room style game. He criticized the muddy presentation, awkward UI (especially the menu button placement), and pacing issues. He felt overwhelmed by the number of puzzles presented early on.

Mark Abukoff: Abukoff, who typically avoids puzzle games due to their difficulty, enjoyed A Fragile Mind. He praised the visuals, atmosphere, intriguing puzzles, and the helpful hint system. He considered it a worthwhile experience despite its short length.

Diane Close: Close described the gameplay as a complex layering of puzzles, comparing it to a giant Jenga game. She highlighted the game's strong visual and sound options, accessibility features, and humor. She found the gameplay engaging and well-executed.
