Nice take on the theme. I even tried to search if it's really based on some historic event, but didn't found one :(

A few more exits to prevent camping near door are definitely needed. And a little bit more smart AI for prisoners.

Liked the reversed concept.

I found that, but it's April, and on the game page it's October, so I thought maybe there is another one.

That is so hilarious. I pulled that story out of thin air thinking, possibly not going to match anything. The world is too big.

I found the theme, sounds, and gameplay really funny and entertaining. Congratulations on your work; it turned out very cool!

Reminds me heavily of Amiga games of the early 90s, both in music and presentation. Could use some more mechanics to keep it interesting. Good effort!

Developer

That’s what I was going for, but not exactly amiga.

Made it on the leaderboard. "win" condition is 10 prisoners escaping. Fits the theme for sure!

game got boring after a while. I think I was at about 60 prisoners captured

fun game! took me a moment to figure out the mechanics, but afterwards it was nice! Maybe a way to increase the difficulty would be welcome, because its possible to just stand in front of the gate a spam to win right now. Good job though!

Thank You.

Yeah. I was going to add 2 other exits, but didn’t have time. Yo can close the exit doors for a while. Was thinking perhaps an elevator to move the player quickly through the floors.

No game!

Smacked 30 cloned prisoners and got bored. 

The graphics are cool though.

stopped over 100 prisoners and game just kept going. Not sure what was end condition and closed game...

While it is not a huge twist that insead of me escaping I'm the one trying to prevent escape this still feels original.
Me guarding just one exit point for prisoners works against idea of unlocking more floors as there is no reason to leave exit. But even if I do so prisoners don't seem smart enough to take advantage of that.
