Escape from alcatraz! By using the tried and true ancient technology of: A catapult!

At the start, you will launch a mattress over the prison wall. After that, try to launch as many prisoners over the wall as you can; help them escape by getting them over to the nearby island. You will get bonus points if you manage to land them on the mattress that you placed (*except maybe you won't, see below).

Try to help as many escape as you can before the guards come to stop you (in about 2 minutes).

Meant to be a short, simple, fun game to play around with, we hope you enjoy!

*sadly, there are bugs present where sometimes the collision detection for whether you landed on a mattress is incorrect. Sometimes this means you'll get screwed (sorry!) and other times it seems overly generous in counting how many people landed on it.

I (Skully) have been too busy to have the time to try to track down and fix the bug, so will try to do this post jam.
