Ok, this is a really awesome idea! But I think the most people will stay alone for too long, so they decide to escape alone.. An interesting situation.

I could not play because the problem that TheJackiMonster have said but I really found this game genial! It could be an interesting experiment on social communication or something like that.

This is a really cool concept and great use of the theme. 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.

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!

really cool idea!

That's a really great idea, but unfornutelly even after ~20 tries I didn't manage to escape the prison.

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.

Very creative.

Oh, this is cool. Reminds me a bit of the way people could communicate in Journey, only more prison-y and pixel-ier. I'm glad I was at least able to take one of the guards down with me.

Wow, very cool idea, and well executed. Just need more people around to play :)

I found this really interesting! Also cool that you can hear the next players' knocks after you die.

Delightful! After killing myself and countless other comrades, I have finally escaped alive.
