Jail Space by dangerbackwards

made by dangerbackwards for LD 42 (COMPO)

Finished early, but there was not much left that I could do that would impact the finished result too much. I guess I had worn myself out on the first day. Anyway, this is Jail Space: a game about a prison overcrowding. I think it turned out alright, I mean, it's not flawless but I'm proud of myself.

I like your art! It's a cool minimalistic style.

The game was enjoyable and looked nice. Wasn't able to ever beat it. Think either I am bad, or it needs the other types of L blocks.

Just like Tetris, the blocks you need are these you'll never receive

I liked the graphics! I also enjoyed the idea but I wish there were more shapes to pack in. Maybe you could add in some things that go along with the inmates like food or belongings.

Hey, this is preatty nice! I wish there was some sort of scoring, that would make it more fun!

I also discovered a small bug: You can place prisoners on the last row, and they will go outside the screen :)

Overall though, nice game!!

I like the game, it kinda reminds me of tetris and fits the theme very nicely. I think you should have expanded the game more because it is over very quick with nothing you can do. A mechanic to get rid of prisoners would help with that. But you still did a very nice job.

Nice game! It took a while to figure out the mechanics, but not too long. The art and music are nice and make for a solid experience. I did not manage to fill the level entirely, having a top level block would help here I think.

Pros: Simple design, nice music, and made some sense as to how to play it with a little experimentation.
Cons: I had to deactivate my Antivirus to get this to load.

I like the Tetris vibe of this game! Is so sad to think this happens in real life =(

Good Job overall!

I like the use of the Tetris mechanics in this game. I'm a big fan of Tetris myself, so it was nice to see. I also had an antivirus problem with this, but it was cleared and I was able to run it no problem. Congrats on finishing!

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good.
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)
