### 4/5 — Help!!!

*2015-05-20*

Can any1 tell me how to solve level 63 guard tricks???

### 4/5 — Nice…

*2015-01-22*

It's fun playing it; got cool graphics and sounds; the idea is different. I can only complain about the level difficult. It seem like it's a bit challenging to solve them and get 3 stars even on the first levels. But above that, it's still worth play every once in a while.

### 3/5 — Level 68

*2014-03-16, version 1.02*

Very fun game till I got to level 68 push it ! I can't not beat it ! So if some one nos tell me lol

### 2/5 — Rip off

*2013-10-09, version 1.02*

Why would you call this game jailhouse jack?It has almost nothing to do with a jailhouse. You would expect something cool like I don't know SOMETHING TO DO WITH PRISON! The game is about an actor who has to replicate escaping jail. I've never played a good game from donut games and I don't expect to. Lazy, boring, and a waste of money!

### 2/5 — Not amazing

*2013-05-28*

It is a bit boring coz it's a film set thing so it is a bit dull
Waste of money don't bother with it

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-02-10, version 1.02*

### 5/5 — One of my favorites games

*2013-01-11*

### 3/5 — Good game

*2012-11-16, version 1.01*

Good game but it gets boring.

### 3/5 — iPad Mini

*2012-11-10*

I bought this game for my iPad mini and it keeps shrinking down to the corner. I was expecting better on this game.

### 5/5 — Cops and robbers make a movie

*2012-10-29*

Shoot a movie with cops and robbers who could beat that? COOL

### 5/5 — Rewindable Lemmings puzzle game

*2012-10-10*

Very nice Lemmings-style puzzle game that allows you to rewind time at will. 

A lot of people seem to be disappointed because they expected an action-platform game. Maybe the description could be made clearer.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-09-20*

Luv it! For those of you who think you just press a button and watch, you are completely wrong and you obviously don't read instructions, as they clearly state that you move the wanted action buttons next to jack, which makes him move as you desire. Besides, what do you think those green buttons with actions on are for? Looking pretty? Duh. Silly people.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2013-01-24, version 1.02*

*2014-12-25, version 1.02.1*

Best game ever

### 5/5 — Don't listen to the people saying it's rubbish

*2014-04-04*

This is one of my favourite dounut games it is just beaten by cat physics

### 5/5 — Vell done everybody

*2014-01-05*

This is another great game from donut games.  I laugh every time I finish a level, I imagine being on the set with a French movie director that is genuine pleased with every take.  In addition, each of the "enemies" become supporters of a job well done at the end as your fellow actors.  It makes me laugh just thinking about it...  Though I can understand why some people might not like it if they're expecting something like Mario brothers, but its a cool idea that goes outside the box for a game style I've never seen before.  Two thumbs up!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2013-10-01*

This a great well really all your apps are amazing well done

### 5/5 — Coolio!

*2013-07-31, version 1.02*

This game is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome! I would give it a billion stars out of five! All donut games are fun but this one is so the best! What you do is collect keys, sounds boring right? No way! There are so many fun obstacles to complete! I recommend also rat on a snowboard! So much fun! Both games! All donut games! Get them all! They are all FUN! The one and only game I like to play is obviously jailhouse jack and other donut games!

### 5/5 — Awesome but...

*2013-07-03*

I like this game a lot fun, addictive and original the only thing is that I can't pass a level and there's no way of skipping it please fix

### 5/5 — Don't listen to 1 star reviewers!

*2013-02-26*

This game is an awesome PUZZLE game which some people don't realize. It's complex but intuitive and addicting. Anyone who thinks it's boring or dumb has an IQ less than 80; go play your normal mindless games or watch Honey Boo Boo since your brain cannot process "thinking" games like this.
