Coinflip prison is another take on the 'coin flipping' style genre, such as unfair flips and other games in this sub-genre of a sub-genre!
Where this game differs a lot from the others in this category though is that it is actually skill dependant to some extent so you can actually progress faster if you know what you're doing. I think this goes a long way toward making the game more interesting rather than it being purely luck based.
Pros:
- It is very easy to understand the core ideas of what you're supposed to do and how you're supposed to do it. There is a selection of nice music tracks and coin skins you can pick from to make your run a little more individual
- The skill based nature of the game makes it much more satisfying from my point of view compared to other games in this sub-genre.
- The intermittent dialogue while flipping is interesting if you take the time to read it and breaks up the flipping a little bit, building some element of interest into what is happening in the story.
Cons:
- The game is quite short, only a couple of hours but this is a minor problem considering the price point.
- The graphical style definitely won't be for everyone, I happen to like the sharpness of everything and how it looks but it won't suit all tastes.
- The game has a few small bugs visually which highlight a lack of complete polish, these will likely be fixed over time and didn't stop me enjoying myself, just worth mentioning.
Overall, I think the game doesn't overstay the welcome, knows exactly what it is and does what it sets out to do.
