It's a great game! But the screen is glitching when I play, like it does not fully load the entire screen onto my phone. So, when I play, there are two other copies of the main screen of me playing on the sides of my phone. If this is fixed, I'll change my rating to 5 stars.

Its really good! On my crappy Moto G1 the controls are hard to use, but overall, its amazing! The only thing I dont like is that if you want to do harder maps, you have to pay. The graphics are good, and style too. This is recommended, you'll love it!

I love how this game makes you think about your decisions and you actually need to scheme a plan so you can't just escape like that, it took me 35 days to do it, pretty hard. I loved it. I also found a glitch where if you take guard clothes and go up to the guards, first they'll say "Best dressed today for sure" (Like usual) and then if you stay near them after they say that they'll then say "Get a move on, Clive" mind you, AT NIGHT.
