TouchArcade Rating:Incredible Mandy ($2.99) is an adventure through dreams searching for memories lost, people forgotten, and experiences once treasured. It is a third person platformer with a little bit of combat and a whole lot of environmental puzzles in a semi-open world, sprinkled with collectibles to fill in the story. It, in short, looks really, really interesting. As a fan of platformers, puzzlers, and games featuring minimalist art in general, my interest was immediately piqued. An interesting story? Great art? Solid level design? Altogether, it’s a recipe for absolute success

This has been an EXTREMELY weird week, seems like the last few weeks we have been talking about the impact of COVID-19 on the larger gaming convention scene and this week things hit some sort of mini-climax with all kinds of stuff being canceled. We spend a lot of time talking about all that weirdness before shifting gears into overdrive (and more pleasant things) in talking about all the latest iOS gaming news.
