This special "VIP" edition allows you to enjoy the hit prison sim at its best with no ads and full access to the editor! Create your own inmate and attempt to survive in a prison where every sentence is a "death" sentence. Rub shoulders with up to 100 fellow inmates in a sprawling facility of 12 unique areas, each filled with fully interactive furniture and props. Plus a life beyond the gates populated by real civilians, with wardens enforcing dozens of different laws to keep you as far away from it as possible.

Each day, you will find your health and mental state slipping away. Both can be restored by sleeping - which is also a good way to pass time. You wont always be permitted to sleep, though, so consuming food and drink bridges the gap. These, along with many other activities such as reading or watching TV, can also help to improve your mental state. If you "lose your mind" you will temporarily lose control of your character - and will almost certainly get into trouble!

Your character also has a set of attributes that you are challenged to improve:
- STRENGTH indicates how much damage you can inflict or absorb. You can improve it by fighting or lifting weights.
- AGILITY determines how fast you move. You can improve it by jogging in the yard or scoring baskets.
- INTELLECT reflects your knowledge - including fighting skills such as counters. You can improve it by reading books.
- REPUTATION is how much other prisoners respect you. It can be improved by accomplishing tasks or intimidating others.

There are also opportunities to earn money - whether you work for it with a broom, trade items at a profit, or run with a gang. Having money increases your opportunities to grease the wheels and make your life inside easier.

You may find that you need to go to the toilet from time to time, in which case you must race to the bathroom! Alternatively, you could find a toilet to sit on or grab some toilet paper to spare your blushes. Failing to do so will damage your reputation and mental state.

I regret that there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so I hope you enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!

BASIC CONTROLS:
(*Look out for tutorials within the actual game)
A = Attack (on its own to kick, with a direction to punch)
G = Grapple / Throw weapon
R = Run
P = Pick-Up / Drop
T = Taunt (interact with handheld props)

OTHER CONTROLS
- Press ATTACK and RUN together to launch a powerful attack.
- Press any button with any direction (or none) in a grapple to trigger different moves.
- Press RUN and PICK-UP together to set fire to a small object (which can then be used to set fire to a large object).
- Touch the clock to pause the game and bring up options to exit.
- Touch any speech bubble to speed through conversations.

PERFORMANCE
- If you find your device struggles to display lots of characters, considering keeping the "Population" option low.
- "Speed Up Frame Rate" sleeping will require good performance at the default frame rate.
- Head to the "Display" options to tone down other features.

Pros and cons of Hard Time VIP app for iPhone and iPad

Hard Time VIP app good for

Want I mean to but is the graphics a terrible you need to upgrade graphics to modern graphics plz

This game is so good in many ways. Random events and altercations make this game so much more interesting along as your relationship with other inmates and guards.

This game is a blast the way you can make your character and do what ever you want is too much fun I applaud you mdickie you should add multiplayer because imagine playing with your best friend being cell mates or worst enemies or why not both!!!!

This is an AWESOME game and I cant stress that enough! But one thing for you guys to do that would make it even better, when youre a warden you should be able to arrest people for assaulting you etc. :) keep up the great work

Thank you for the game really but i have 1 request can you add more dialogs that we can choose

Can you add more interaction Example: my prisoner are liberate and he is a warden, I dont can arrest a prisoner than he causing a murder. I supplied you to add in game (and add others similar action). Excuse me than you dont understand I am a French, it is difficult for me to write in english

Some bad moments

Dont download this garbage. Poorly made. Not worth the money. Based on quality, it should cost $0.01.

IT JUST STAYS AT A BLACK SCREEN I try deleting it nothing restart nope waste of $5

It would be nice if you could talk to other players and if you could arrest people as a warden too and this is the best game ever too

First off I paid and this is basically the same as the free version. We should be able to pick if we want to be a warden or not in the paid version. I became a civilian and my character lost his mined, and when the warden asked me if I wanted to be a warden the game pushed the wrong response and now I wasnt able to be a warden. UPDATE THE GAME PLEASE

This game is amazing one of the best games ever and we just got a update

This game is amazing I would recommend it to anyone! If you are wondering if you should get the VIP pass it depends on what you want. You are basically paying for the editor and no ads. But if you have the add-free version you are still getting the entire game. In my opinion the editor is nice if you just want to mess around and be a cop any time you want without completing the game. There is a ton more stuff to do I would definitely recommend it! Mdickie, there is one glitch that really annoys me. If Im playing the game off-line and I open the app the menu is all messed up! There is no buttons to press and in the top left corner theres all your games and it says download now or something. And it works when Im online, but please fix this thanks!
