Prison City News

As Hal Bruzer makes his way through each security zone, he’ll find even more enemies and challenging Wardens to take down! But that doesn’t mean he has to face them all with his default Health and Energy bars.

In every security zone, you can find a hidden upgrade to your Health and Weapon Energy! While the benefits are self-explanatory, you’ll have to remain even more vigilant to spot where each secret passage begins so you can obtain them!



For instance, in the Rooftops zone, attentive infiltrators will notice the top of a ladder sticking out from the bottom of their screen at this part of the level:



Reaching that ladder and following it downward will lead you to a hidden area–complete with enemies prepared to stop you! But overcoming these foes will yield you access to a permanent increase to your Health or Weapon Energy, depending on the item obtained. Every addition will increase either bar by 1, so you’ll definitely want to maximize how much damage you can take and how much you can throw your chakram!



So, as you get your infiltration underway, don’t forget to be on the lookout for unusual routes that break off from the normal paths leading to your contacts or to the Warden rooms! Be cautious when following these unorthodox routes, eliminate any enemies present, and you’ll be rewarded with a sweet upgrade to make yourself even more bulky or chakram-potent!

To be an agent of the DCP, you need to always make sure your skills are up to standard. That’s why this minigame will test both your agility and your aim! Take a look!


You’ll have to destroy every target before the timer runs out. Successfully doing so will grant you extra lives that you can take with you throughout your Prison City infiltration!


But fail and the only thing you’ll get is the stinging feeling of SHAME!

Just kidding, well, maybe the Chief isn’t.

Now, to complete this minigame, you’ll have to apply all the running, jumping, and sliding skills you’ve (hopefully) learned in your training and improved on during your previous missions. For instance, you’ll have to throw and rotate the chakram to successfully hit a target placed below a platform for the last leg of the minigame!


Just as your training was meant to help you learn the basics of chakram-throwing, you’ll be able to show them off in this minigame. And you’ll be well rewarded if your skills exceed expectations!

That’s all with this update!

You can take a break from all that infiltrating with the Defuse the Bomb Minigame!

When Hal isn’t busy taking down Techno-Terrorists, he’s more than likely juggling sports balls in the Stadium…or trying to stop a bunch of detonators from going off!



In this minigame, you’ll have to swim through several rooms to defuse the bombs set up by the Techno-Terrorists.



Use your maneuvering skills to jump, dash, and swim to stop each detonator before time runs out! Unless, of course, you WANT the time to run out! In addition, you'll want to be mindful of the electrically charged kelp! Touching these purple plants will damage Hal, which will inevitably slow him down!



So, when you're not busy infiltrating Prison City, take a break and try your hand at disarming all the bombs!

Taking on the Jumbotron was one thing, but Hal’s work in the Stadium won’t be over just yet! He’ll be faced with an extra challenge in balancing multiple kinds of sports balls–all for the reward of gaining more rests (lives)!


As each ball is launched into the air, you’ll have to attack them as they fall! Doing so will cause any of the balls to shoot back up before again arcing downward. The point is to get each ball to cross the black and white goal lines to the left and right of the screen.


Now, none of the balls have to be SEEN to know they’ve crossed the goal lines–you’ll actually hear an audio cue that’ll play, regardless of whether a sports ball is visible or offscreen.

Successfully preventing any ball from touching the ground will reward Hal with a fresh batch of lives! Be sure to save them for later, more challenging security zones!
