Stop Taking Control Away From the Player

The game had potential, but the constant camera hijacking completely ruined it for me. I don’t mind a tutorial showing me what to do at the beginning, but Lost Prison keeps taking control of the camera to point out extremely obvious things even after you already understand the mechanics.

It pulled the camera away to show me that I needed to make a tool, then after I made it, it interrupted again to tell me to press “Collect,” and then hijacked the camera yet again to show me where to use the tool. At that point I felt less like I was playing the game and more like the game was playing itself for me.

Give players some room to figure things out. A marker or optional hint would be enough. Constantly taking control away from the player makes the game frustrating instead of fun.

I ended up uninstalling because the hand-holding became more annoying than the gameplay was enjoyable.

Ok game

Game is fun in a way but way too many ads!! And not worth $10 to get rid of them . And it gets old is the stuff you have to build and go to the junk yard to find it. And I don’t understand why you can’t upgrade the people that are working different departments!!! One for the medical is so slow!!

Why don’t I actually make money in game?

The game is fun and all. Comparing to many other same type games this one is not very good with making game money. I already have level 2 and I have plenty of room for survivors but for some reason my safe won’t fill up with money. In 5-6 hours I get $30 which is logically incorrect. Even though I buy upgrades for real money I still struggle with making game money. Please fix this it’s very annoying. I will add some stars to this review when the issue is resolved.
