I could’ve sworn you could customize your character before, but now you have to pay? Could be better. ### 4/5 — Annoying thing *2023-06-14, version 1.4.4* Whenever I finish my sentence they don’t let me go and they extend my sentence ### 4/5 — Cool game but.. *2023-06-04, version 1.4.4* 1 you when your free and become a warden you can’t arrest people so can you guys add a option to arrest. 2 you also can’t talk and I press the T button and it doesn’t do anything so when you press T can you make us automatically talk. 3 You should be able to choose your own character because its so dumb to have to play with the characters the game gives you. Ok so thats what i think about the game please make those 3 things happen than the game will be way better and i will rate this game 5 stars. ### 4/5 — 4/5 *2023-04-30, version 1.4.4* this game is great! the only bad thing is whenthe bot takes over and makes me die 70% of the time the bot somehow makes me extend my sentence ### 4/5 — Good, but… *2022-12-23, version 1.4.4* I really like this game it’s really hard. But sometimes the buttons to disappear and the character just kinda gets a mind of it’s own ### 2/5 — Went down hill *2022-08-30, version 1.4.4* This game could be a 5 star I that because I played when they had customization and it was so much fun grinding and because the best after they took it. They made it were the the game is boring because the starter characters look bad and the names were so much fun to mess with. It’s just sad how they ruined it because they wanted money. ### 5/5 — Hard time *2022-02-25* God game ### 4/5 — It’s alright, suggestions needed tho *2022-01-30, version 1.4.4* I really suggest that when you update this game you should make it like school days where it lets you pick your own character. Overall it’s a very good game. Haven’t played in years so it feels good to know this game is still a good game. ### 5/5 — More updates pls! *2022-01-01* I love this game, but it would be even more cool, if there would be more updates. ### 3/5 — 5 star game untilllll…….. *2021-11-10, version 1.4.4* So well this is gonna be a short review but why would you take out character customization? It’s just not fun, the people I get look weird and if I get a dumb looking character I can’t back out because it will just start the game. Please I’m begging you change it. ### 4/5 — 3D *2021-11-09, version 1.4.4* Please make a 3D version of this that would be insanely good and cool ### 5/5 — PLEASE MAKE THE 3D VERSION ON MOBILE *2021-06-29, version 1.4.4* I’ve played every single game made by MDickie, including Moksha which didn’t work, but, that’s besides the point. This want one of my all-time favorites by MDickie, I would love it if you could make a 3D version for mobile so I won’t have to turn on my computer. ### 3/5 — Character *2021-06-21, version 1.4.4* I used to be able to change my appearance but since I can’t I don’t really play anymore. As a girl I don’t wanna have to be a boy every time I join. I used to be able to be a girl I don’t know what has changed. Please add characters so we can be girls in the beginning. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This Game Is Too Long! *2024-01-13, version 1.4.4* I HATE THIS GAME! IT IS TOO LONG! SERIOUSLY I HAD TO WAIT 10 SECONDS TO GET UP WHEN I WAS INJURED! THIS GAME IS THE WORST MDICKIE GAME I EVVER PLLAAAYYYYYEEEEDDDD!!! LIKE WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!?!?!?!?! LIKE YOU THINK INJURIES ARE GOING TO GLUE YOU ON THE GROUND FOR LIKE 10-50 SECONDS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!??!??!!!!?!!?!!!!??!! ALSO APPLE REMOVE PLACING PERIODS WHEN THE PLAYER TYPES IN TWO SPACES AND REMOVE THE UNDO TAB WHICH POPS OUT OF NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Fix ur trash game *2023-06-27, version 1.4.4* Fix your game when ever i get into a fight my character just starts moving and fighting on its own but im not even controlling it fix ur trash game ### 1/5 — Character Creation *2022-06-10, version 1.4.4* I use to enjoy this game until you removed the feature to create your own character. Creating my own player was my favorite part of the game. ### 1/5 — Missing many market standard features *2022-06-05, version 1.4.4* This game has 3 glaring problems. A. You cannot make a character in the slightest. Every section is locked and you get some generic character which is very sad since this game has a wide variety of cosmetics. You can’t customize moves either which in a game that’s 95% about combat, not being to pick or know the movies is a pretty big deal. The second thing is the combat. I have already mentioned that lack of move control but also the combat is very simple. You either hit or grapple a enemy until they’re on the ground and then hit them until they die. Weapons are the same thing but sometimes just at a range. Finally there is not enough to do. Sometimes you’ll get mission to deliver packages to either people but if you don’t start a fight with 6 people and get sent to the judge it’s impossible to fail. You can escape but there’s nothing changed other than the arenas. Let’s say you want a certain play style. Get high smarts and strength so you can win fights and never get a longer sentence. Oh wait you can’t because it’s behind a paywall. In conclusion every part of this game is severely flawed and I would not recommend getting it. ### 1/5 — I WANT A GIRL CHARACTER *2021-07-23, version 1.4.4* Hi mdickie I would like to say to fix this thing,When I play this game and press the new game button it is always a Boy character Mdickie please Fix this ### 1/5 — Come on *2021-06-08, version 1.4.4* Dude did you update it so we can’t make our own characters anymore? Come on man please fix this... ### 1/5 — Worst game ever! *2021-06-06, version 1.4.4* I mean it! I’m on a mission to kill all the prisoners I play as, but the game keeps saving me! THAT ISN’T HOW REAL LIFE WORKS! In real life, if you have very bad health, you die and that’s it. Nobody saves you except for family and friends (maybe even the healthcare system if they are called). Fix your game. ### 1/5 — Edit character *2021-04-28, version 1.4.4* I want to edit my character for free why should we pay that’s dum we used to get to edit but not now please remove! ### 1/5 — The upgrade *2021-02-13, version 1.4.4* There never used to be an upgrade button why did you decide to do that it ruins the game completely ### 1/5 — K *2021-01-01, version 1.4.4* 5;#start Stars ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Md *2025-08-16, version 1.4.4* i Love mat dicky ### 5/5 — Ok *2025-05-31, version 1.4.4* Bruh ### 5/5 — In-Game Additions *2024-06-08, version 1.4.4* Please consider adding the following: being able to actually interact with a pool table and snooker cue ( 8 ball pool), being able to sit through court with a lawyer, and being able to talk to other inmates and wardens apart from regular responses. ### 5/5 — I’m Loving it *2024-03-30, version 1.4.4* I’m loving it ### 5/5 — over reactors *2023-11-28, version 1.4.4* everyone who wrote a critical review is an idiot “WhY iS deR nO GiRl chArchtrr” it’s a male prison, “wHy Da graPhics sO baD” it’s a ten year old game probably older then the people who write these reviews and there’s an hd version idiots, “WhY aM cONntrols bad” the controls are good you just have to learn them and if you go into a rage it moves on it’s on “wHy sO MaNy ads”, the person who made this is a solo game dev and it costs like 5$ for full version “wHy CamEra bAd”, the camera is horrible i can’t say anything about that ### 5/5 — Love this *2023-08-13, version 1.4.4* To the people who say I don't like it because when I get into a fight the character moves on its own that's because ur going insane because ur trash at the game ### 5/5 — Pls make a multi player version of this it’s so addicting *2023-05-21, version 1.4.4* Title👆🏻 ### 5/5 — No game is better than this 😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🫡🫡🫡🥹🥹🥹🥹😍😍😍🤑 *2023-03-27* This game is so nostalgic to me and my brother and sisters childhood was literally based on this, glad I found this game again! And this game is way underrated! ### 5/5 — allows you to commit mass murder *2023-02-24, version 1.4.4* 9/10, the only drawback is the sanity system ### 5/5 — sick game *2022-08-19, version 1.4.4* i love the classic arcade look, and that i have to mash specific buttons to cause extreme pain to other prisoners when you tackle them or pulling their arms. love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
