The Jailbreak round levels are time-based. Since you are meant to lasso the bandits and not race them, they always run faster to keep a minimum distance ahead of you, so rounds can't be distance based. Each wave of bandits spawn behind the player and run ahead. The speed and behavior of each bandit is based on its horse color. Whites are the fastest, black ones move side-to-side, tan ones leave droppings, etc. We generally put more and harder bandits into new levels, but occasionally drop back for relief. We also drop back if you can't progress from current wave after 3 tries, to calibrate to your workout ability.
