Schwifty Studios/Mad City

Mad City is a game created by Schwifty Studios. It was first created on December 3, 2017, and the game first blew up on January 28, 2019.

Mad City is very similar to Jailbreak, which is arguably the most popular game on the site. It has received praise for its distinctive features compared to the latter, and at the same time is also criticized for being a 'ripoff' and unoriginal.

Gameplay
Mad City, similarly to Jailbreak, utilizes elements of sandbox, action, RPG, and traditional Cops and Robbers genres. At the start of the game, the player has to choose 3 of the teams available in the game: Police, Hero, or Prisoner.

Police
Police are given a pistol, taser, and handcuffs. Their main role is to arrest guilty prisoners or escaped criminals. The police players spawn inside the police station found in the prison.

Prisoners
Prisoners spawn in their prison cell temporarily before they can leave. The goal of the prisoners is to escape from prison and become Criminals. They can search for certain items, like containers, trash cans and boxes to have a chance to escape the prison, and in them are materials that can be used to craft C4, a hammer, etc. You can also find spoons and lock-picks that you can't craft with and will need to escape with them.

Criminals
Once the prisoner has escaped from the prison, their role will change to "Criminal" and gain 100 experience. Criminals are able to rob a variety of locations, namely the bank. Then when they rob the location they will need to return the money to the criminal base. There's also a variety of mini-robberies, like the house and cafe.

Once dead, the criminal will spawn in their own base, however, if a hero kills them, the criminal will be sent back to prison.

Rank
The measurement of the XP bar determines how much experience needed to progress to the next rank. This can be accomplished by gaining XP from escaping the prison, robbing, arresting the criminals, etc. Every 5, 15 or 20 ranks you can get a limited time reward from the season.

A menu can be accessed by pressing the smartphone, found in the right corner of the screen. The menu has its own features:
 * Spawn: Spawns the selected vehicle. Some areas or team is restricted from spawning a vehicle.

Treasure map
There will be an NPC on an island next to a crashed pirate ship. A message in a bottle can be found by going around the shores of the map.

The message in a bottle containing the treasure map seems to be entirely random. One of the crosses on the map will lead to the real key while the other two are fake. After you get the key, return to the pirate ship to open the Cursed Chest and redeem $10,000.

Codes
Codes are redeemables available in Mad City, typically released alongside updates. Codes can give skins to customize weapons and vehicles. They can be redeemed by inputting the code in the "codes" tab in the Phone. Codes are released on Taymaster's twitter.

Reception
Mad City has received significant criticism due to its heavy similarities with Jailbreak, with some users claiming that it is an outright rip of the game.

On the other hand, many well-known users have talked about Mad City, saying that the overall gameplay and map layout is generally much more enjoyable compared to Jailbreak.

Trivia

 * Two of the red houses in the towns can be robbed for up to $3750 each.
 * The Plane used to cost $50,000.
 * The Cursed Chest used to give the Dutchman superpower until the Phantom here was added to replace it.
