Prison Life RPG

Platform: Android/
iOS
Price: $3.75

Prison is fun only in the virtual world where you're not the one dropping the soap. 

It's extremely difficult to make a game that balances the punishment/reward system; PrisonRPG is one of those rare gems. The description on their website which roughly sums up the entire game, says "Prison Life is a Roguelike+Survival+Role-Playing game that places you behind bars. To survive the punishment of the penitentiary system, you'll need to stay healthy and fit, gain allies, eliminate enemies, bribe the guards, bet in illegal boxing matches, and more while pushing for parole or planning an escape." 

One of the best parts about the game is that each character has a personality and some are even copies of pop-culture icons like Batman, Homer Simpson and even Kenny from South Park, adding to the fun factor.

If you're confused about which character to pick, Krusty the Clown look-alike is a good character to start off with as he gets $200 every day, which means you can buy your way through trouble while learning the game. This brings us to the next bit about this game—the learning curve. At first, it might seem hard to balance things out between Happiness, Energy and Health but the idea is to get into a gang or snitch to the guards ASAP for some sort of protection and then work your way up from there.

All in all, PrisonRPG is a complete RPG experience on the phone. I lose several hours of sleep every night thanks to the game. If you've got time in your hands, get this game.
