Story
After the antics surrounding the Mysterious Aluminatti Society, the Principal of Reon Elementary School has had enough! With the big PTA Meeting on the horizon and his school's reputation on the line, he does what any other reasonable Principal would do: Orders Draco and his "merry band of idiots" to be thrown into the newly built juvenile detention center, Bully Island, until they're old enough for college. After this fiendish decree, our heroes are blindsided by an army of Hall Monitors and are swiftly thrown behind bars. But Slugamor, being the slippery slug that he is quickly manages to escape the prison. The others, however, are not so fortunate. Now it's up to Slugamor and Draco to work together to free their friends and Escape From Bully Island!

I have a question: I noticed there's a gray status bar at the top of the screen, visible on every screenshot. Do you really use it, or just forgot to remove? I ask because it comes with Default game template, and I never seen people actually use it in games.

It's intentional, if you scroll your mouse to the top of the screen, it opens up into the Walk, Look, Touch, Talk, Pocket, Save, etc... buttons. It to keep the GUI from interfering with the screen too much. The border even changes color depending on who you're playing as!
Congrats on the release Jaffles!
Congrats! I had a lot of fun playing, and can't wait for episode 3.
Congrats on the release, well done! I hope to give it a whirl soon :)
Congratulations on releasing it! I find myself loving this series. :D Great game guys!
Thanks for all the kind words guys! If you get a chance, we'd really appreciate it if you gave the game a rate as well, but no pressure!
Captain D: Thanks man! Hope you enjoy the game, and all goes well for Team Disaster as well!
Pitabread: Thanks for playing! And don't worry, Episode 3 will be here before you know it!
m0ds: Hope you like it! We never would've been able to finish it without your help, so thanks again!
The Suitor: Words like that are what keeps us making these games! Thanks again for helping us test!
I played this game and really enjoyed it. I don't usually comment on short games but this game really stands out, so here goes.
My comments:
WHAT I LIKED
- For a short game, the theme made for a good, simple plot with enough steps required to complete the main goal (big jailbreak) to provide sufficient gameplay
- The puzzles were superb. I needed to do some thinking for most of them and was never frustrated to the point of diminishing the fun. They were all goal oriented, contributing to the overall plot rather than "let's just slow down the user to add to the gameplay time". This is one pitfall that you see in many games of newer authors.
- The dialogues were both funny and appropriate for providing both entertainment and hints to the next step of the game.
- Character development - exceptional for any game, especially for a short one. The player knows exactly what each character is like and they act their respective nutty roles perfectly
- Speaking of entertaining, the humour was terrific. I busted a gut when they were texting!
- BRILLIANT play system of switching characters and passing items. Raises the gameplay quite a few notches!
WHAT I DID NOT LIKEI just did not like the graphics style. Some people posted that they liked it so maybe it's just me. I just found the look and feel to be unappealing. I don't have a problem with cartoon graphics in general but something about the graphics turned me off.
In conclusion, this game improves on many of the shortcomings of the previous release and shows a lot of promise as your games just get better!
Well done!
