No es un juego de acción, es un juego de puzzles. Por menos de 1 €, es un juego corto, pero entretenido.

Leave it to me to play these games in the wrong order. Prison Run and Gun plays a lot like Shootout on Cash Island (SoCI). It has a lot of the same features, except mainly, for the mostly confined, tight quarters, prison setting. There's guns, grenades and all the like. Instead of the collectible jars on each stage though, there are keys to collect which require you to use an extra few brain cells. And well, there's no cash scattered around each level. There's a few new enemies and other obstacles too. I really love the fast-paced gameplay that can be extremely punishing if you don't carefully plan out your next move. I absolutely recommend this game, as with SoCI, if you enjoy a little less conventional of a platformer. I'll definitely be playing Mission Ammunition in the near future!

Fun little game, decent puzzles and platformer. Some parts are a bit finnicky but once you pass those, it's really good I finished the game but the jump in first part of level 28, the precision necessary for level 27 and the fact that you should know to jump the motorcycle, when the same model always tried to kill you before, is gimmicky and annoying at best, pure bullshit at worst
