About Hard Time (Prison Sim)
The toughest prison sim in the yard - now celebrating over 10 MILLION downloads!!!
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 jail of 12 unique areas, each filled with fully interactive furniture and props. Plus a life beyond the jail populated by real civilians, with wardens enforcing dozens of different laws to stop you from making a break for it.
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 won't 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 break down and will temporarily lose control of your character (almost certainly getting 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.
Upgrade to "VIP" to enjoy the full experience without ads - plus access to the editor that allows you to customize your character and every other.
BASIC CONTROLS:
(*Look out for tutorials within the actual game)
The game uses buttons where letters like GTA represent what they do:
G = Grapple / Throw weapon
T = Taunt (interact with handheld props)
A = Attack (on its own to kick, with a direction to punch)
R = Run
P = Pick-Up / Drop
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.

Good game but really?!?
Nov 12, 2019 It’s a good game but any is there this bug that freezes you in the title screen after an ad it’s just annoying really and why is there 17+ when it doesn’t have the content to be besides the violence I would like more gore as I am a person who loves gory games Extra lives XL was a good game because of the gore more -
May 3, 2021 Hey MDickie what's up the customization, I left the game some time ago and when I left the game it was already awesome, what makes a game important to it's player is the players ability to customize it's character it's like forcing someone to buy and keep something they don't want, No wonder you haven't been getting much good reviews lately and the game is kinda boring now because the only reason I downloaded it back was because I wanted to check for any change I guess that was a bad idea 😒😒👎 more -
Great game but could use some update
Dec 18, 2017 I love all of your games I mean these games are so good but this game still needs some updates. If you would not mind to add some of these things I think as someone who as played all your your games I think adding these would make it better. 1. I think adding Days mounts and years would be better then like 157 days or 56 days that would make this game so much better. 2. I feel like adding in a death row sentence would be cool along with security level like low mid max super max and death row would make the game feel like a real prison and the judge would pick the players death. If you add at least 1 or both would make the game a lot better more -
Updates needed
Jul 19, 2018 It’s a great game like the others but you really need to add some new updates like some new weapons or limbs are able to be chopped or and stuff like that just like in the 3D hard time, I know you probably won’t read this, but we need gore and many more. Thank you for your amazing games! more -
I’m not a criminal anymore!
Jul 15, 2020 It’s a fun game but the police will sometimes arrest me for “escaping” when I’ve already served my sentence and it’s pretty annoying when the judge decides to lock me up for 9 days for nothing -
We need updates and I’m not just raving on about it like the others
Apr 12, 2020 We DO need updates to this game like how on some of the other games have the limbs of people get cut off thanks! Love all your mdickie games I’ve downloaded all of them -
Apr 12, 2021 Very fun game this one. I just hope we can save our character edits and profiles whenever we start a new game? And please add more maps and customizations. Thank you for this great game! -
My rating
Oct 14, 2020 The game is very good but I need the alarm and cars to drive yeah and key cards so when you like it a police officer you can like get a key card from it then you like an escape a high security prison with the alarms going off when you escape more -
It’s great! But..
Apr 30, 2020 This game just it’s self if so fun but it would be really cool playing with your friends and family! Could you guys add multiplayer or I don’t know if you need VIP or something but if you can’t can u add multiplayer. Thank you! -

Apr 30, 2021 This game WAS a classic and really fun and engaging game, but people get greedy I guess. I've seen it all over these reviews and Matt took the character customisation menu off of us and it has heavily impacted the game and mainly the ratings. Matt please just give us back the old game and dont be greedy... more -
Apr 11, 2021 Its a good game, but the fact that after some update you now have to pay for character customization, and that paid upgrade does not give you access to customizing your role, crime, or gang makes this game a much less enjoyable experience. more -
May 5, 2021 The reason I gave it a 1 star because we cannot customize I grew up off playing this game almost every day they took the customization not only that and we can't put our right moves which is a huge impact into the game -
Apr 21, 2021 The only thing I dont like about this game is that as a cop, we cannot send anyone to the judge. Fix that and I'll give you 5 stars. Please, if this gets out, you will get SO MANY NEW PLAYERS coming to play this game and buying the $1.99 thing to be cop... more -
Apr 27, 2021 I used to play this game constantly, it was so fun to make your own characters with different names but now you have to upgrade and pay for that? Completely ruins the game. -
May 1, 2021 I hate this update because you can't customize you character like the former update ,I have to quit the game and restart just to get a good character I don't suggest anyone downlode it till they fix this problem thank you. -
Apr 15, 2021 Game is unplayable. When I enter another room all the characters are in the left hand corner floating in a rotating manner. -
May 7, 2021 A random points in the game you have no control over your character is the starts beating people up adding more time this game is rigged -
Keeps freezing on home screen
Apr 21, 2020 The game continuously freezes on the home screen that says mcdickie which is a shame because it’s a great game without that glitch -
May 2, 2021 This game was so much fun when customized your own character without any upgrades now its boring and it gives charcters that u dont like reapetedly and thats really annoying and the arrests are not fair because the wardens make the arresting noise when its your character but it doesnt when its the others in the game please change that and when your character is the warden it doesnt make the arrests and tells where its supposed to patrol at thats unfair more

Needs a multiplayer
Jul 1, 2020 I loveee this game not the mpcs I want this game to be a multi player if you put multiply I would actually play this game forever! -
Great game!
Jul 12, 2019 It’s a great game, but I don’t know how to pick people up when they’re dying, other then that, just a really great prison simulator! -
Very fun and addicting game
Jul 1, 2020 I got away with several acts of murder in this game lol when ur in court just keep tapping on ur character and the judge will save u

It needs updates
Mar 30, 2019 It is a fun game but it needs updates that would make better -
Apr 11, 2021 I loved this game when I was younger cause I could customise my character and now I can't which is upsetting since I played this alot and now that you've updated it its annoying but don't get me wrong I still love this game its just the update that annoyed me more -
Stone Malone
Jun 16, 2019 Mat dickie what happen to stone Malone face dude why did you change it -
Apr 13, 2021 The game Is good, alot of interactions but one thing that just annoys me alot is when people interrupt fights and get you caught,killed etc.so annoying it's fine if you don't fix this I promise:) -
Apr 22, 2021 This game is really cool you can escape from prison kill police says but sometimes you get caught you go to you go to the court but it's a great game -
May 4, 2021 Good game a good experience in this game but the of 4 stars rating is we can't customize character although every thing is good about this game
-

Apr 22, 2021 Miss before this update, no more customization unless you upgrade to vip for 3 dollars, gamepad doesn't work anymore either. I tried disconnecting it, calibrated it a million times, still doesn't work... -
Needs more updates
Apr 11, 2020 The game is fine but I think it needs more things Installed and let the players choose there own crime I’m a huge of fan of you MDickie but this game just needs development -
Apr 22, 2021 The reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because we can't play with our own created players we just play with people who are already in the game some are lame and some are cool -
Apr 13, 2021 I love this game but now there's a glitch in all of your games that is every time I open up the game it doesn't respond and closes pls fix it and I will give you 5 stars

What’s Groovy
The reason I am giving this game 3 star rating is, to not let us customize our characters. Which in past we used to do. And this used to be my favorite game. And now I installed this after about a year I can see why the rating is decreasing. I mean u can't even change ur atriv. And too many adds are displayed. In short, mat u just messed upp, buddy. I'm sad that I can't give it less then a star. So Matt if u hope some positive review plz make the game how it used to be before.

What’s Subpar
As everyone is saying that it was good before because u could customize your characters as u wanted i also played it oveer 3years and at that time it was possible to customize your character and I liked it so pls add that same feature back and at that time it was flying up in popularity as well so add the feature and yes(this is my sisters account)
