    Just grabbed this game. Frustrating at first due to running about like chicken w/o head, but I think I'm settling in. I sure do feel like a first-time inmate. Really stupid. Is iCloud save planned? And how about Mfi control that I've seen mentioned a number of times? Any updates forthcoming?

    Price drop alert, from $3.99 to $2.99, if anyone's interested. Worth a look, anyway.

    I haven’t played this since it come out, it never really felt fun but as I seen the second game had had multiple updates with 8 new prisons added since release I thought I’d download this and give it another go today to see if there’s any chance I’ll like it and want to buy the second game.

    Can’t find a thread for that though, surely it had one? I wish the search button on here was more accurate and went for thread titles rather than any mention of the words you search in any post.

    I'm sure this is necroposting, a 3 year old thread !

    To search just type in Escapists and then in the dropdown theres a handy checkbox saying 'Titles only' , i tried that and saw Escapists 2 straight away

    Well I am talking about this game still as I’ve downloaded it again to check it out one more time.

    I don’t see any of that when I press the search button on the top right of my iPhone safari page for TA

    Sure you do.;) Just make sure you’re in the correct part of the forums when you’re searching for something. And always check that titles only box. On iPhone you might want to check “show desktop site” perhaps? But mobile version of the page gives you the same options when searching.

    edit: yeah, I just checked. When you tap that search icon in upper right corner on an iPhone, there’s either more button or settings wheel icon. You tap that and it’s the same as on iPad. With checkboxes and everything.

    My view is different to that but I seen if I press the search and then a settings button it is there. Thanks

    Still can’t find the thread for the second one even searching putting only titles and trying it without.

    Anyway this is on sale for 99p and the second one is for 1.99

    Thanks for the screens. Looks like in this instance it needs the "s" on the end of "escapists" to trigger results. Searching for just "escapist" yielded no results for me too, but "escapists" brings up both threads.

    In a normal sane world it would pull up the same results with both queries, but we're sort of stuck with the search capabilities of the XenForo forum software we use which is… lacking, to say the least.

    @Boardumb typical, I tried the whole title a few times and other bits but not that exactly. It’s like a puzzle game using the search engine, but yes you would think it would work like google and just bring up anything with those words in the title.

    Thank you.
