The Indie Game Magazine Mobile: 'Twists are an undeniably important aspect in almost any form of entertainment; whether they’re simply an unexpected turn of events during the course of the story, or a familiar old element that’s looked at from a new perspective, twists are what keep things interesting after years and years of similar movies and video games. Joan Mad Run is a new iOS runner game by HappyMagenta that steps away from the traditional runner game forumla.'
