Indie Intros: ‘Joan Mad Run’

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.

As you might expect, Joan Mad Run puts you in the role of the titular Joan. Awakening to find herself trapped in a jail cell without any memories of her past, let alone any belongings, Joan has no choice but to run. Her escape will not be an easy one, however; as the road to restoring her memories is fraught with danger.

Fortunately, you won’t stay unarmed for long. There are plenty of weapons you can get your hands from, ranging from katanas and pistols all the way up to lasers and freeze guns. Guns aren’t the only weapons of mass NPC murder at your disposal, either, as power-ups such as Bloodlust can drastically increase your killing potential.

Although Joan Mad Run isn’t out just yet, you can keep up to date with all of the latest developments simply by following the HappyMagenta blog, or keeping an eye on their Facebook page.
