Update #5[ | ]

Hi Warden Chris here, back with another update.

First up, another new map. This time we’re dropping you in a compound in the middle of the jungle. This prison ramps up the difficulty somewhat by adding a few new obstacles and mechanics into the mix. Getting beyond the prison walls won’t be enough..

I’ve also opened up the leaderboards for the more competitive amongst you. If you’ve escaped within the past month or so you’ll probably find yourself in there.

There’s the usual round of bugfixes and gameplay tweaks- the full changelog is posted below. Any issues, bugs, problems, feedback praise? As always, happy to hear!

Chris
