This guide will show you how to unlock all achievements in Prison City.
Introduction and Useful Tips
Achieving Warden Rush accomplishments might seem really hard. I tried to ask the game maker to make it easier, but he said that’s unlikely. If you want, you can try reaching out to him on Twitter/X and suggest making the goals a bit easier. Maybe lots of people asking will make a difference.
Now, let’s talk about two important things you must know: slide jumping and diagonal aiming. The game shows you these in the Advanced Tutorial, but I wanted to remind you because you’ll use them a bunch.
For slide jumping, do it when your character’s legs are out of the platform, not when the whole body is off. It’s tricky at first, but if you’re patient and keep trying, you’ll get the hang of it.
Diagonal aiming is actually easier than pressing two directions at once. Hold the left bumper for low diagonal attacks and the right bumper for the opposite. But with Fury Rhoads, use the left bumper to attack backward diagonally and the right bumper for the opposite.
Remember these because you’ll be using diagonal aiming a LOT! Slide jumping? Not so much.

Miscellaneous
Car Smasher
Successfully Smash the Car
It’s kind of easy, but if you’re playing on Classic difficulty, it might give you some trouble. This mini-game becomes available after you finish the Rooftops level, and you can choose to play it anytime. Just smash the car. It’s super easy.
Juggle? Oh!
Successfully Juggle Sportballs
Another mini-game, also a bit easy but could be tricky on Classic difficulty. This one unlocks after the Stadium level. Like the previous, you can choose to play it anytime. Just hit the balls until they go behind the crowds, and you’ll complete it.
Oh Dam!
Successfully Disarmed Bombs on the Dam
Now, there’s a mini-game after the Factory level, still easy, but it might be troublesome on Classic difficulty. You can select it anytime. Just disarm the bombs within the time limit. It’s straightforward.
Target Breaker
Successfully Break the Targets
After the Sewers level, there’s another mini-game. It’s quite easy on any difficulty. Just break the targets. Simple as that.
Dolphin Rider
Ride a Dolphin on the Freeway
To trigger a special level, talk to the Dolphin in the Preserve level. Then complete it (not sure if it’s necessary, but better do it). After that, choose the Freeway level, and hold down the attack and jump buttons at the same time until the level starts. If you did it right, you’ll hear a sound effect before Hal enters the scene.
Bomber Man
Complete the Game in Bomber Mode
Bomber Mode is self-explanatory. It unlocks right after you finish the game once.
Beats By Radd
Unlock the Sound Test Menu
There’s another mode called Bomber Mode Plus. You unlock it after completing the game in Bomber Mode.
Upgrades
Upgrade Master
Obtain All Upgrades
No Damage Achievements
Getting these achievements might seem tough, but don’t worry, it’s not that hard. Just play the game on Easy mode because the bad guys are more likely to drop a Shield. Your main job is to keep collecting Shields and then move on once you have one. To spice things up, head to the Cold Storage level and grab the power-up piece at the start. If you leave the level and come back, that power-up will be there again, so you can grab two more to become even more powerful. It might feel a bit dull at times, but hang in there, kid. This is the only way to succeed.

DCP HQ Master
No doubt, this one is the toughest, maybe even the lengthiest in this group. I get it, you want an easy solution, but honestly, there isn’t one. Like I mentioned earlier, it’s all about being patient. Look at the overall plan.
Escape Master
Complete Escape Without Taking Damage
This part took me more time than the last one, mainly because of the final boss, which relies a lot on luck. You just have to remember its moves. Sadly, the general strategy won’t help much here. Even if you manage to grab a Shield from one of the escaping enemies, it disappears as soon as the boss fight begins. You can use your chakram to break the small ceiling pieces, but watch out for the big ones—they can ruin your entire run. Best of luck!
