    Never heard of this one before today. Is this the Team17 of 1990s Amiga fame? Alien Breed and Project X? Damn, those games were great.

    The layout isn't randomized. Idk about other aspects
    There are 6 prisons
    According to hltb.com (how long to beat .Com) users say it's between 22-25 hours which I really like seeing in a mobile game. but I don't know if that includes the add on stuff they did for other platforms. Finding out a game is between 1-4 hours seems ridiculous to me no matter how good it is.
    But from the hour I've played, it's really great. A heck of a lot of replayability. Do wtf u want. Seems I'll need the wiki to know how to craft all this stuff. And turns out it's $4 not $5.
     
  5. haha, I paid 20 bucks for this on ps4 and thought it was worth it there so at this price it is a steal! Is this the full version?

    Super difficult game but pretty fun and good for strategy fans!

    Just wanted to let you know concerning using the wiki to look up crating items. I have been playing this 4 hours straight ( much more deep then on the surface) and if you keep upgrading your intelligence it seems to add crating items to your journal. Also you can spend money you at the pay phone for crating items. After you pay the phone keep hitting item once it becomes free and it will give you new items to craft. This game is so cool

    Yup, forked over 15 bucks for this on PS4 and never really got into it.. Not because it's a bad game I just don't have the time lately.. A mobile port is just what I needed to dig into this as I'm always carrying my iPad around..

    I actually got called out by my professor at school a few days ago because I was playing binding of Isaac..

    Find only touch and virtual pad. Not tried any controller to see if it supported or not.

    Gonna give it a try...

    Graphics, setting, HLTB's average playtime, user feedback, low price...

    I think this game is worth a try!

    I hope they'll fix the apparent MFi issue.

    Excellent game. Anyone got any tips for the first prison, how long should it take me etc?

    This is how far I've got so far.

    This kind of double-negative statement always confuses me # - is the game good or what?

    Only joking...#

    Is it turn-based or a sim-type game?

    Only concern I have is ongoing support. While Team17 are great on PC etc, they are terrible at continued support of anything that isn't Worms on mobile. So I am really doubting that MFI support will happen soon.

    /maybe just bitter after Alien Breed.
