Bought s&box just to play this game. Although not for everyone, those that enjoy the slow burn style of progress will definitely enjoy this. Game is (as of now) receiving daily updates with features and quality of life improvements. So far, so good. Already worth playing, but if the content is lacking for you, definitely keep your eyes on this.

The dev puts in a lot of work and actually listens to the community for any issues or suggestions. The game is constantly recieving updates and feels like I'm back on a MC Prison server. The upgrades and bonuses keep you interested and the missions keep you motivated.
So far I have enjoyed my time with Prison Box. The Dev is actively engaging with players to help develop a fun game to kill some time in.
Still a WIP but it has a lot of promise.
I want to like this game, but I just don't. It is not satisfying. Every upgrade seems minimal. I've grinded for a 30,000 shard upgraded and felt like it did nothing... this has happened more than once.
Update to review:
The dev is communicative and listens to feedback. Though, it seems like my main gripe of the game is by design. Which is completely fine, not every game is meant for every person. This will be enjoyable to you if you enjoy a grind heavy game with incremental upgrades. I will continue to check in on this game as it receives updates. Hopefully things become more satisfying and there is more of a "purpose" to playing.
Game needs more of a dopamine rush early on, you won't retain players when the random chance procs are so few and far between. Hitting the same 4 rocks for long durations without any feeling of genuine progress unfortunately gets stale fast.
