Facelift to Website

It's long overdue and the current website is so very out of date. With the next update of Prison Escape due out in another week or so I thought it was time to clean up the website and simplify it.

I also wanted to make it compatible with mobile devices. Still some work to do but this is how it will look on the iPad 4...



After some deliberation I decided to use Adobe Muse to create the site. There is a very small learning curve, the tools are logical and 'Muse' has an overall feel of an extension to Photoshop. I feel 'Muse' is limited in functionality however for a simple site such as this it is serves its purpose perfectly and you can knock up a fully functional site in no time. 

What I liked most was the speed at which you can design, preview, publish to a temporary site and view how the site will look and function in the real world on any device.

Prison Escape Level 4

Just finishing off level 4 with the aim to publish the update to the App store next week. This could be my favourite level to date with infinite scope for expansion.



You start where level 3 finishes off so after escaping from the rooftops down through the multi storey car pack, level 4 takes over on the ground nearby the car park. The actual starting point will be random in an effort to make it a little more difficult to memorise your way around the level.

As this is a new level and the mechanics are different from the previous levels, we have again introduced new gesture controls to navigate and complete the level. Level 4 is all about running through the night time streets whilst being chased by 3 policemen.

Swipe left, right, up, down to turn, jump and duck whist avoiding obstructions and moving vehicles.

The purpose of the game is obviously not to get caught, avoid oncoming obstacles, find the train station and escape.

Look out for the update in the app store in the next couple of weeks - hope you enjoy.
