Remarkably, this isnt Tom Hanks first dabble with downloads. Donlan (who else?) wrote about Hanks typewriter app, the wonderfully-named Hanx Writer, back in 2016. That X, eh?
Back to Hanx 101, which is, disappointingly, not a Star Wars crossover. The blurb promises players will learn a new “fun fact” every time they play. Heres a fun Tom Hanks fact for you: Toms brother, Jim Hanks, does all his video game voice acting for him. And as you can see from the Kingdom Hearts 3 cutscene below, Jim does a pretty good Woody!
