by owlman

He's been in jail for years and he wants out. Now the Prisoner finally has his chance to escape! A mysterious birthday cake with a crowbar inside is your way out. How to evade the fuzz once you're outside is up to you.
Jump, push, and run your way out of prison, and do anything you can to solve each level and finally seize freedom in this puzzle platformer!

Version 1: 1st WIP release, only a few levels, no menu, but looking for feedback and ideas from John Q. Public.
Version 2: Added a few new levels, added a system that displays level names, a cool game over screen, and improved the police code to make responses incident-specific.
Version 3: Added a few more levels, death by falling, and a retry/main menu option in the event of death
Version 4: Added a new level, some credits, a readme helpfile, stopped the player from walking of the side of the screen, and the ability to skip the initial story scene. NOTE: The Level Select button does not work yet. Still needs more levels, though! See comments for a link if you have ideas.
Version 5: Added someone very important's name to the Credits
Version 6: Added quite a few new levels, 1 sound, music (may be changed depending on feedback), ghost blocks and a preview of spotlight towers! Still need valuable feedback, though!
Version 7: Added a secret unlockable minigame!!! Note: scrolling list in achievements section does not work (yet).
Version 8: Temporarily fixed a problem caused by a broken pause menu. There's still no pause, but it made the game unplayable.
Version 9: Overcame several coding problems, added a pause menu (press 0 on keypad, which is easy with your little finger. Also added a new unlockable, which for now is unlocked the same way as the minigame.
Version 10: Quickly fixed an unfortunate error in which the new unlockable was impossible to get. Caused by me being too lazy to test everything.
Version 11: Added the last level (with boss) and final cutscene to make Beta!
Version 12: Quickly fixed a boss collision that I had left out for ease of debugging.
Version 13: Fixed a couple errors in the last few rooms, changed the achievements button on the main menu, and updated the credits.
Version 14: Added the level loading feature, which is only temporary until I can fully incorporate the level editor (separate download right now).
Version 15: Alright, the Level Editor is now built-in and all bugs have been worked out (I think). If you encounter any bugs, be sure to say so in a comment. The editor's set up a lot like the room editor, so it should be easy to use! Press 0 on the keypad to save levels, and 1 on the keypad to play levels you've saved. Levels are saved in the same folder as the game, so downloading is recommended!
Version 16: Added a new unlockable: costumes! Choose from several costumes to wear in-game. You may want to check out other features before getting the costumes. Hint, hint. Also fixed a few bugs caused by merging in the Editor, and added adjustable window brightness! Press 2 on the keypad to increase brightness, 3 on the keypad to decrease.
