Video Manual: How to Use the Hard Time App

How does it Work?

Create your own inmate and attempt to survive in a prison where every sentence is a "death" sentence! Rub shoulders with up to 100 fellow inmates in a sprawling facility of 12 unique areas, each filled with fully interactive furniture and props. Plus a life beyond the gates populated by real civilians, with wardens enforcing dozens of different laws to keep you as far away from it as possible.

Each day, you will find your health and mental state slipping away. Both can be restored by sleeping - which is also a good way to pass time. You won't always be permitted to sleep, though, so consuming food and drink bridges the gap. These, along with many other activities such as reading or watching TV, can also help to improve your mental state. If you "lose your mind" you will temporarily lose control of your character - and will almost certainly get into trouble!

Your character also has a set of attributes that you are challenged to improve:

- STRENGTH indicates how much damage you can inflict or absorb. You can improve it by fighting or lifting weights.

- AGILITY determines how fast you move. You can improve it by jogging in the yard or scoring baskets.

- INTELLECT reflects your knowledge - including fighting skills such as counters. You can improve it by reading books.

- REPUTATION is how much other prisoners respect you. It can be improved by accomplishing tasks or intimidating others.

There are also opportunities to earn money - whether you work for it with a broom, trade items at a profit, or run with a gang. Having money increases your opportunities to grease the wheels and make your life inside easier.

You may find that you need to go to the toilet from time to time, in which case you must race to the bathroom! Alternatively, you could find a toilet to sit on or grab some toilet paper to spare your blushes. Failing to do so will damage your reputation and mental state.

I regret that there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so I hope you enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!

Upgrade to "VIP" to enjoy the full experience without ads - plus access to the editor that allows you to customize your character and every other.

BASIC CONTROLS:

(*Look out for tutorials within the actual game)

A = Attack (on its own to kick, with a direction to punch)

G = Grapple / Throw weapon

R = Run

P = Pick-Up / Drop

T = Taunt (interact with handheld props)

OTHER CONTROLS

- Press ATTACK and RUN together to launch a powerful attack.

- Press any button with any direction (or none) in a grapple to trigger different moves.

- Press RUN and PICK-UP together to set fire to a small object (which can then be used to set fire to a large object).

- Touch the clock to pause the game and bring up options to exit.

- Touch any speech bubble to speed through conversations.

PERFORMANCE

- If you find your device struggles to display lots of characters, considering keeping the "Population" option low.

- "Speed Up Frame Rate" sleeping will require good performance at the default frame rate.

- Head to the "Display" options to tone down other features.

    Super great! Just a few things though.

    This is one of, if not my favorite ios game! It’s super addicting and fun! I could play it for hours, and i do. There’s not really anything bad about it, but you guys should update it more often. Suggestions: Maybe add a few more parts of the map outside of the prison. And you should be able to go in the stores just like in School Days! When i read books to get my intelligence up, i lose reputation SOO fast and it’s really annoying. Please make it so you don’t lose SOO much reputations from just reading a book. Or maybe add more things to help you get your intelligence up. This is a big one but it would be cool to be able to play with other players. Maybe add a online mode? That would be really cool. Also, you guys should make it easier to get out of someone’s hold on you. I gets really annoying, sometimes people are holding me for minutes and it’s really annoying because you can’t do ANYTHING. You should make it so if you press A (attack) fast enough, you can get out of their grab. Also, you should make less announcements, it gets pretty annoying lol. Or you should be able to skip peoples so each bubbles faster because if you have been playing this game for a while it does get super annoying because you know what people are saying already.

    Addicting

    I like this game alot. Its really fun and addicting once you start playing. When you assault a warden you go to court and the judge can decide in favor of you or the warden. My character was charged with voyeurism (57 days) and on the inside i was charged with multiple homicides. I received 199 days. Your given a certain amount of days and you really gotta survive make money join a gang if not you'll be taken advantage of. One of the complaint i have is the button glitch. The most common is the running or the taunting. I get frustrated sometimes cause it happens often i wish that could be fixed The constant adds are always get in the way of me having fun. If you cause enough damage to the population some of the inmates or wardens make your character will cry to the point where you cannot function with the buttons at all and it goes on auto pilot that really gets me upset!! That makes me not want to play. But i always find myself coming back to it. I recommend all my friends and family to play and they do. I would pay to do the multiplayer but I'm satisfied with the standard edition.

    Better than I expected!

    I downloaded this app not really expecting much, but I'm having a ton of fun with it actually. Made a guy and explored the prison, and I was pleasantly surprised. There's a lot of stuff to do and get involved with, you can join gangs, get in fights, even get into a gay relationship, which is cute. Of course the game is a bit buggy, but it works well most of the time. At some point I recommend adding an actual meter for toilet needs, so it just doesn't come up randomly. Also, maybe make it easier to track quests? But overall I'm enjoying the app a lot, even with its flaws here and there. I'd say it's one of the few free games that's worth buying the VIP version of.

    Hoodies

    Hey hard time creaters I was wondering if you could allow people to customize their characters as much as they want I love the game I just wish I could have a hat on and put a hoodie over it the the hood up it makes people feel more gangster also could you add a feature where you could make friends by allowing people to choose friends so we don’t get hit so many times as we start playing the game it would also be cool if we could create a gang and have a custom outfit for the whole gang one more thing add it so you can get pets and use them at your own advantage thanks

    It’s really nice but has some downfalls

    This game is really fun and nice to play and it really saves my brain when I’m bored but some things kinda mess with me. Sometimes even if my character has high health falls and just lays there,another thing is that it takes you a good minute or two to get up which wouldn’t help if I was in a fight. This one doesn’t really bother me much but,if I didn’t even do anything and the officers take me to court and they win, for example when someone takes my things and I take it back. But overall this game is really fun and mat dicky did a amazing job on this game!

    Hard time

    Man I love this game a couple of years haven’t played this game for a long long time and I was hoping that you can put like a sword or a tranquilizer gun or a Lightning gun or lava gun and also can you like also put like a lot of blood that way we can see the arms and legs and feet and hands cut off. just by regenerating healing with the arms and legs and feet and hands with the bones and skin can grow back and also if your arms and legs and feet get chop off you can attach your arms and legs and feet and hands just by healing and also increase your speed and strength and stamina and also Intelligence

    Make an editor for the free version of the game

    I like the game a lot but this game is lagging now without us being able to customize our character without having to upgrade to the VIP version of the game I would like to edit my character so I can become a warden of the US Department of Homeland Security which is what the wardens of this game are I would like to be able to have the opportunity to arrest other inmates as an inmate or a warden or a civilian I would like this game to also have security guards that would be part of the Transportation Security Administration part of the US Department of Homeland Security and I would like to be able to have no ads the wardens should have super hero restraints like in the heros game and be able to have a leg gun holster along with a bulletproof vest or reflective vest a helmet either bulletproof or European or even a police uniform cap etc

    Ad bug PLZ READ MDICKIE

    So your game’s are awesome I enjoy them all i evens bought the school days private. I know you need ads in games but the ads that pop up on mine. When the ad over it just shows your loading screen and there’s no loading bar and I have to close the whole app and reopen it and I lost all my progress I recently had I know your probaly wondering why I don’t I just save before it happens I tried that but I don’t know when the ads pop can you plz fix it so I can play. The ads are fine it don’t bother me but every ad that pops up it keeps like going to the loading screen after it’s done and I can’t play I only can just hear the game plz fix.

    One of the better MDickie games

    I really like this game and it’s over all pretty interesting. My only problems with it are the editor not being as good as the newer editors where you can put on many different accessories. I wanted to give a guy a blue tie for his guard outfit, but I could only use red. Also it’s kinda annoying having to cycle through a bunch of characters just to get to the one you want to edit. I rather it be like the newer ones with the different tabs based on their role. Also the map is the same to school days, but you can’t go into as many buildings, so it’d be cool if you could go into those. But overall the game is pretty simple to learn and still pretty fun to play

    This game is hilarious but the controls are garbage

    I love the retro style graphics and the overall style of the game, the gameplay is hilarious. The character customization is pretty diverse and also cracks me up. The controls are BEYOND annoying and at certain points they disappear from the screen altogether, sometimes your character randomly runs around doing whatever they want and occasionally they randomly embrace NPCs, or when conversations occur and a choice pops up, it automatically chooses whatever it wants. Which is IRRITATING to say the least. The game would be amazing if it wasn’t for the bizarre controls.

    smh

    They have an ad at the top left of the screen taking up 1/4 of the screen. The mental health system is so horrible for example if u get in a “gunfight” with anyone u have to keep going to sleep through out the fight to keep ur “mental health” up or your character will straight up do what ever it wants leaving u powerless and ready to be killed by whoever ur fighting, and when u sleep it shows an ad that may or may not crash the game, 90% of the time the ad crashes the game for me. the gun play is the worst in history, Don’t ever count on ur shots hitting because they almost never do. The announcements drive you crazy, You’ll be trying to walk to another block to do a objective and their will be an announcement for something you do not care about, whenever somebody is let out from jail it will tell u and it’s sooooo annoying. In conclusion, I’ll enjoy the game a little bit if u don’t have as many ads and just completely dump the mental health system. but that’s just my opinion, A GAME OPINION

    Fun but needs work

    Becoming a cop has done nothing I literally can do nothing as a cop a civilian and a cop are the same thing in this game my other problem is the fighting cops can arrest you too easily with little effort Guns do little damage and How can the AI just pop up after I smack them with a pole/knife 15 times? But for me it takes about 10 seconds to get up I Feel like as a cop you should be able to arrest people or more people will respect you Also the ability to fire other cops because cops can arrest you for doing almost nothing the announcements need a rework because in the middle of a fight one of them will pop up and you’ll loose progress and The Ai will get back up or regain health it’s Extremely annoying I have no control over my character as that happens In conclusion 1.) Being a cop needs to be more copish like arresting It just needs a rework 2.) Guns Need a rework The bullets won’t hit and they do little damage 3.) Ais get back up after 20+ Stab wounds and punch me and I’m instantly knocked over and my weapon is stolen 4.) Ais get back up almost instantly while I have to wait 10+ Seconds 5.) There needs to be an Ability to Skip an announcement all Together because they are annoying in fights because the Ai gets up steals my weapon or Regains health when I’m trying to fight them Otherwise it’s a really fun game it just needs tweaking

    Great game with one huge bug that ruins everything

    Game is fun and hilarious, however, there is one bug that pops up out of no where and makes the whole game unplayable simply because you cannot proceed with the story. When the MDICKIE logo pops up before an ad/commercial, that is when the bug kicks in and your game is forever stuck. After the AD is played, the MDICKIE logo will pop up on he screen and will stay there while you hear the gameplay progressing in the background. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get passed this issue and I’ve played this game on 2 phone with 6 different characters. I’ve had to restart every single time, I want to continue playing, but if I can’t finish my “Hard Time” sentence, and always have to restart with a new character build then it’s wasting my time. Please fix this bug of death

    Why

    I was being attacked by a random guy so I fought back with a gun I had. After hitting him a few times, the gun exploded and the guy I was fighting stopped attacking me for a few. Then a warden grabs me and (please note I was also a warden at the time) says I’m under arrest for attacking another warden. I was confused for a minute because the warden who arrested me was the only other warden in the room and he was far from the explosion. So I look in the corner to see who he’s talking about and the picture is ME. I was arrested for attacking myself. So I go to court and get a life sentence. I had a lot of progress with that character and a large amount of money. I also got all my stats to 100 percent. This was very frustrating for me because the whole fight was just me defending myself. So, if you could please fix this problem that would be great. Thank you for hearing me out.
