still fairly rudimentary but it's a much clearer inbetween step for me now between breaking the bank and the later, much more ambitious games like complex and airship. as a kid i definitely thought the slapstick stuff was way more funny but now i know what phoenix wright is, so that ending's definitely the funniest now lol

Better than the first one. Very funny and always reminds me of my uncle who went to jail and never saw again.

I'm honestly surprised how well this game as held up over the years. It's such an improvement over Breaking the Bank in every sense. It went from 5 fails in the last game to 18 fails in this one and there's and all the fails are really entertaining and charming and I think the overall short nature of this game really helps the comedy because nothing ever feels overly drawn out. I appreciate the deviations in the gameplay style lot whether it be the subtle like the you choosing the direction you go in the air duct or the obvious like the quick time events and the big Phoenix Wright homage portion. And speaking of that, I really appreciate the game going out of it's way for the Phoenix Wright portion feel distinct from the rest of the game and feels like PuffballsUnlimited really was a fan of that series (also it kinda helps that I just started playing through the second game currently). And in general the game made it's pop culture references feel very natural and never did it feel in your face. It does have it's shortcomings, though. Like, for starters, the voice acting. It's all done by Puffballs himself and while I do respect how he this all on his own, the majority of the character voices sound very similar to each other and does get a bit distracting and repetitive. But I will give this game the benefit of the doubt that this is the first game in the franchise to rely on dialogue more heavily and it would only make sense that the voice acting would sound samey and amateurish because this is pretty much PuffballUnited's first real venture into voice roll. And one more nitpick is that there's no chart or anything to back to certain points in the game without going back right to the start and watching the same cutscenes over and over again. So yeah, it's a fun and charming little game that expands the original game, but it does suffer a little from lack of experience in certain portions of the experience, but in the end it's pretty easy to understand why it was like this in the first place. But I can't wait to play the next few games to see how far this dude has come over the years.

Note: I played the original Newgrounds release and yes, I did get all the achievements
