Alcatraz Builder

Avoid. It's a mobile game ported to PC and a terrible one at that. Gameplay is very repetitive after the first few levels. An exceedingly huge amount of micromanagement needed to do even simple tasks; clearly pitfalls to bait you into spending on microtransactions to automate things.

It's a complete waste of time with no meat to the matter,...

It is really simple, really easy and totally oriented for phone/tablet and surprise surprise, it is...

A kind of pay-to-play game, perfect for fool users on tablets: Click to build - just click and wait Click to remove obstacles - just click and wait for the men to clean Click to advance level - just click and wait for improvement of building Use gems for bonus, that should have to be unlockable abilities (like auto transport, what kind of gambling for mental illness you have...
