About the game
For a whole decade, Bandido has outsmarted everyone and become a true legend. Now, it's time to celebrate his anniversary! Help Bandido make his daring escape from the legendary prison of Alcatraz. Dig tunnels, gather equipment and try to avoid the coming tide around the island. If the tunnels are flooded, you can’t escape! Work together and build a single exit to make it off the Rock. Build tunnels and collect equipment. Stop the incoming water by covering it. Create dead ends and keep a single exit route. —description from the publisher
