## What is Pruno?

Run a contraband empire from inside the joint. Brew pruno in your cell, tap to work each hustle, then hire crew to automate every racket while you're away.

Push your luck: crank the Heat for a bigger cut, dodge the shakedowns, and grab limited-time Scores moving through the yard. Bank enough and break out — every escape makes you stronger in a tougher prison.

• Tap-to-run hustles you automate with crew
• Idle income that piles up while you're gone
• Heat, shakedowns, and push-your-luck Scores
• Escape to prestige, then retire for permanent Legacy perks
• 30+ achievements and a deep upgrade tree

Fair and winnable without spending a cent. Brew. Bribe. Break out.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2026-08-18*

Every time the game closes it resets my progress.

### 5/5 — Love!

*2026-08-13*

Very addicting! Super fun

### 1/5 — Don’t download! Scammy

*2026-08-12*

When I close the game when I get an ad the game resets my progress!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the bug report, sorry you experienced this, but I did find that the autosave feature was not being called for a couple core functions. It should be resolved in 1.2.2 which is in review now. No scam intended, just a bug!

### 1/5 — Addddddddssssss

**Developer response:** They are almost entirely optional, but thank you.
