I don't get how it's supposed to work though. Since no one showed up for a while I opened the game in two windows and I tested and could see my knocks so I know that I was connected to myself. I then hit D on both simultaneously and on each screen killed the guard, but then another came on and shot me. I had assumed that the guard coming on screen to kill you was the guard from the other cell but it doesn't seem to work that way. Still cool game."},{"author_name":"Coomzy","author_uid":"45176","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 6:01pm","epoch":1450461360,"text":"Really cool game, however I don't know Morse code, so I just bash on the wall until someone else does and then I try to escape, works about 25% of the time!"},{"author_name":"behzad_robot","author_uid":"60429","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 6:06pm","epoch":1450461660,"text":"really cool idea!"},{"author_name":"komilll","author_uid":"56836","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 6:10pm","epoch":1450461900,"text":"That's a really great idea, but unfornutelly even after ~20 tries I didn't manage to escape the prison."},{"author_name":"Weeping Rupee","author_uid":"60016","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 6:31pm","epoch":1450463160,"text":"This is the most interesting idea I've seen yet, but I could not figure out how to synchronize my escape. I guess thats sort of the fun of it-- figure out how to communicate with someone who you cannot talk with. However, after you get killed the time it takes to retry is too long-- I wanna just start right over again instantly.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very creative."},{"author_name":"piper82","author_uid":"28326","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 6:44pm","epoch":1450463940,"text":"amazing. love the art, sound, gameplay, theme, everything. perfect little game. 1,2,3..."},{"author_name":"mahalis","author_uid":"46778","time":"Dec 25, 2015 @ 4:49am","epoch":1451018640,"text":"Oh, this is cool.

It implements the \u201ctwo-button controls\u201d theme. When two players are present, they are automatically placed in a prison together. The only way that they can communicate with each other is by knocking on the wall that separates their cells (using the K key on the keyboard). They can also attempt to escape (with the D key), but will be killed in the attempt unless they synchronize their attacks and each take down a guard. The difficulty of the game, then, comes from the fact that it\u2019s quite hard to synchronize an attack when you have no means of communication other than knocking on a wall. (NOTE: There's no AI in this game; you really are communicating with another person!)","title":"Prisoners' Dilemma"}
