## What is Cell Break?

The year is 1971 and you've been wrongly accused of a federal crime and thrown into the most renowned prison in the world; Alcatraz.

Your loved one is in danger back on the mainland and you need to save them. There's only one option... ESCAPE!

The lights are out, your cell is locked and the guards have gone - for now.
The moon is dark tonight...

NOW GET DIGGING!

Tap your way to freedom using different tools. Watch out for guards who walk by every so often - you'll need to hide your progress with a poster!

And don't forget - Alcatraz is on an island surrounded by shark infested waters, so to get back to the city, you'll need a raft!

### 1/5 — Stupid waste of time

*2015-11-25*

This game is god awful. All you do is tap the wall to break out. There is a counter for how many times you tap your screen. In the other corner of the page it tells you how much wall percentage you have left. I spent 18 minutes tapping away tapped my screen 4650 times and then all of a sudden got caught. So if you wanna tap the screen for along time and then all of a sudden lose then go for it. And the game have no instructions so haha good luck

### 5/5 — Addictive Fun

*2015-10-06*

Loving this game and I am going to win it - and when I do I will make myself the guard and might not let you out.  :-) fun stuff - keep digging.

### 5/5 — I'm addicted

*2015-10-06*

Can't stop, won't stop.

### 5/5 — Favorite game ever!

*2015-10-06*

Can't stop playing this! So addictive!

### 1/5 — My screen went black and gray

*2015-09-27*

I played this game for 2hours and 28 minutes and it was literally tapping a screen for the whole time and after I finally beat the game my home screen and every other app is black and gray this game is crap never download it

### 1/5 — BunnnnZzzzzzz

*2015-09-20*

Don't get unless u like tapping a wall for 90% of the game

### 1/5 — stop random ads

*2015-09-20*

Everything is fine except if the random ads popping up and you lose everything. Ruins the game.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2015-09-20*

It's alright but it would be way better and more realistic if it would actually make a hole where you are tapping. To whoever made this game I strongly suggest you do that. Please!

### 5/5 — FANTASTIC!

*2015-09-16*

Most people would say "this game stinks, it's to EZ- all you do is tap."

But what I like most about this game is the challenge to get through the wall without getting caught by the guard. 

It's a great way for you to spend a few spare minutes playing this game. 

It slow at first, but once you get about 3 upgrades... It will go by quick.

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2015-09-15*

I got kinda obsessed with this game. Ended up buying the ad-free version and a lot of tools, keep trying to beat my best time.
