It's been almost half a year since we first climbed into The Red Thing's arcade mech shooter "iDamaged," so we got in touch with the developer and tore into a more recent beta build.

You know, had I found myself in possession of a genie's lamp yesterday, I would have had one particular wish in mind: that the "Metroidvania" formula be brought to iOS to rejuvenate its Action Adventure library. It turns out that wish has just come true, and I had a genie to thank for it after all!
We recently had a chat with Marek Wyszynski of Infinite Dreams, the creators of "Jelly Defense!"
