90s MS-DOS brick-breaker game with prison theme and balloons

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to identify an old MS-DOS game from the 90s (possibly early 2000s). It was a brick-breaker type game with a unique prison theme. Here are the details I remember:

- The game had a dark, prison-like atmosphere. The high score menu featured cages or prison cells in the background.
- After completing a level, there were colorful balloons tied to strings that would float upwards.
- The game might have started with a pistol or a similar weapon.

I've been searching for this game for a long time and would really appreciate any help in identifying it. Thanks in advance!

It's a prison-themed game with the following features:Prison Theme: The game involves navigating through prison environments, including cells and cages.Balloon Feature: Balloons are collected or appear at the end of some levels, and they might be confined in prison-like cages.Dark Score Menu: The game has a dark, prison-themed score menu screen with specific background music.I remember this game might have been part of a collection or possibly a shareware/demo version. It could be an obscure or lesser-known game.If anyone has any information or remembers this game, please let me know!Thank you!

I'm not sure what the gameplay style is, but in case it's a breakout clone, you can look at these games:

(If it was just a demo, it won't be found there.)

Plenty prison-themed games, not so much with balloons though:

Multiple posts here is pointless, if your game is not recognized.
Maybe post the question at the mobygames forums?

yoyo2000, you have made four different posts asking about what appears to be the same game. Such behaviour is not allowed here. Do you think this will somehow help identify your game? Please confine your search to a single post.
