If you read our review about Stem Stumper, then you know it’s one of the few games in the App Store that allows the sight impaired to play without the need of seeing what is on the screen. With that said, next week is White Cane Week and in conjunction with the Lions Club, Ananse Productions will be discounting their game, Stem Stumper to $0.99.
