User:Zzzoom/List of notable games on Roblox

Roblox is a massively multiplayer online and game creation platform that allows users to design their own games and play a wide variety of different types of games created by other users. The platform hosts social network games constructed of Lego-like virtual blocks.

Jailbreak
Jailbreak is a Cops and Robbers themed game on the game creation platform Roblox. It was created on April 20, 2017 by Alex Balfanz (badcc) and user asimo3089, collectively working under the group name "Badimo". On November 8, 2018, the game achieved over 2 billion visits and two million likes.

Gameplay
There are two main teams, the police and the prisoners. The prisoners try to escape the prison through various methods, including stealing keycards from the police and opening up restricted doors. After escaping from the prison, the prisoners will become criminals and can roam throughout the rest of the in-game world outside the original prison. Once they've escaped, it's the job of the police to arrest the criminals and put them back in jail, making them prisoners again.

Reception
Upon release, Jailbreak accumulated over 80,000 concurrent players and began receiving widespread attention. Weekly updates built a connection with the community, driving more players to the game. Alex Balfanz has said that he was on track to earn "seven figures" in July 2017 and has made millions of dollars from Jailbreak as of December 2018.

Jailbreak is one of most popular games on Roblox, accumulating tens of thousands of concurrent players daily, and dubbed as one of the best games to play on the platform. It has a large international audience with around 65% of players speaking English according to Balfanz. Jailbreak was featured in Roblox's Ready Player One event, based around the release of the movie, though it was met with criticism for the difficulty of the challenge and for a malfunctioning quest involving the train to get one of 4 rewards.

Pokémon: Brick Bronze
Pokémon: Brick Bronze was a role-playing game on Roblox that was heavily inspired by, and used the IP of, Pokémon. It released sometime in 2015 and was forced to shut down in April 2018.

Gameplay
Pokémon: Brick Bronze played similar to other Pokémon games in its core mechanics, including the turn-based fighting and open world mechanics. It set itself apart in one way by including the vast amount of all Pokémon from previous Nintendo games in this one. From the start, you could pick one of 18 starter Pokémon from each iteration.

Reception, legal trouble and shutdown
Brick Bronze was received well by its audience and was known as one of the best Pokémon games on Roblox. It averaged around 22,000 players during its peak.

For some time, the question of the legality of a Pokémon game on Roblox had been floating around. Other fan-made games had been taken down by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company in the past. Brick Bronze used the Pokémon logo, gameplay, and other assets that were taken from them or were very similar. Lando64000, the creator, had also been earning money from the game through Roblox's DevEx program. In April 2018, Pokémon: Brick Bronze was taken down from Roblox, as requested from The Pokémon Company. Eventually, the game was reworked and re-released under the title Loomian Legacy in July of 2019, having removed all Pokémon assets.
