Add more prisons

Prison Boss is very fun, cool and we'll done game, I almost don't have any stipulations except one thing. When you'll finish the game, you're feeling like you just wasted $20, and you regret that you bought it. It would be very cool, if you would add more prisons, or do updates, that everyone will appreciate. I had so much fun playing it and i hope other people really enjoyed the whole gameplay.

Great game

I love this game. It’s fairly simple but it’s super fun. Crafting different items and learning the best way to make money and get jobs done while avoiding guard is straightforward but still challenging. All to eventually become the “prison boss” and break out. I think people who say it’s not worth the money must’ve just sped through it too quickly and didn’t appreciate it. It’s only $20 and you can play it for hours. Once you beat all the main jails I understand people might not like the infinite jail but even so $20 isn’t bad for all the fun of getting there. Also I saw a review say the cell wasn’t big enough for later in the game but your cell expands to your guardian so if you can find the space then you can make it plenty big enough. Hope this is helpful.
