There’s also a trivia for yourself that you can take, to see who you best fit up with in the story. The things that I think would be nice is if there were more stories involved. Sometimes it gets boring playing the same quests over and over again. And another thing that would be great is if you could still catch the glowing balls of light like on a new quest even if you already played it. (It’s just personally more fun for me that way) but anyway, the game is cool but if there was at least more stories involved, I think it’d be even better 👍🏼 ### 4/5 — Love it but , … *2025-06-06* I absolutely love this game but could you improve it to where you have fool access of your character instead of running in a straight line and more levels please and thank you 😊 ### 4/5 — Game *2025-03-30, version 3.5.2* I love this game but it’s been the same from when I was growing up so like mid 2015 I feel like there should be way more there’s 66 books in the Bible and only 11 quests your inspiration is right there in the Bible ### 4/5 — Good game but not completely accessible *2025-02-23* I love concept Game and tried to play. However, because of injuries to my hands, I am not able to play it. I can only use my left hand holding a stylus to tap on the game and cannot use my right hand at all. In order to move the character a person has to be able to use both hands and I cannot. Most people will not have this problem and will be able to enjoy this game. I don't know if it is possible for the developers to change the game so only one hand is necessary to operate the character. There are many disabled people who play Games but I also understand that we're in the minority. This does seem like a good wholesome game for those who are able to play it. ### 4/5 — Amazing game *2024-12-14, version 3.5.2* This game is quite good as it features a range of game modes such as quests, ball games and the saga where you can listen to parables and stories from the Bible. However after playing the only 11 quests you get bored. I would very much consider and would many others to continue playing Ancora if more quests were added. ### 4/5 — This is a cool game 😎 *2024-08-21* Hi. I’ve been playing this game for years and it’s a lot of fun! It’s so cool to combine something popular like gaming and combine it with something like the Bible! So, this game is a lot of fun to play, but here are some things I would change. 1st you can’t choose your own user name. Mine is something kind of weird with words I haven’t even heard of so I would like to be able to make it myself or at least have some options. 2nd They say that there are always new features coming to ancora and that is NOT TRUE. I’ve had this game for years and it’s had maybe one or two new features. And third I REALLY WANT MORE NEW BIBLE QUESTS!💗💗😃😃😇😇😎😎 ### 3/5 — 3 ⭐️ review *2024-04-15, version 3.5.2* It’s great game for kids. I really love how it tells the story of Jesus and the app is really good. What more could you want. ### 4/5 — It just needs a few things *2024-03-09* The game is great but it just needs a few improvements. 1. When I first downloaded guardians of ancora, I liked it but it kept reseting me so FIX THAT GLICH! 2. The player account just needs more to it. Like for example you could let us play levels with friends. 3. You should give us more hairstyle's 4. Make the boys actualy sound like boys! So please take my advice and if you do I will give you a five star review. This ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is for if you take my advice. This ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is for if you don't take my advice so please take my words into consideration. ### 4/5 — Game controls could be improved but great game Idea *2023-06-10, version 3.5.2* I found some of the movement controls a little laggy but I still like the game a lot and was very happy to find it again. I still find it enjoyable to play ### 5/5 — For that second reason I used to play. *2022-12-03, version 3.5.0* Are used to play this game- : well I love this game! (The kid) ### 5/5 — How to unlock the special items? *2022-07-28, version 3.5.0* Does anybody know how to unlock the special items? ### 5/5 — Great Game *2022-07-20* I enjoy this game so much! The stories are fun to play through and I’ve learned a lot from them as someone still trying to find the right church for me (and thus no one has taught me these stories yet). I love running around the levels and playing the quizzes and such. I do agree the graphics could be upgraded a bit and I think it’d be fun if you could add more stories about Jesus to the mix (it can feel redundant playing the same ones over and over after a few weeks). But it’s hands down the best Christian game I’ve ever played. ### 4/5 — Fun game but… *2022-02-16* I originally downloaded this for my daughter to play but then downloaded it for myself, and got my hubby hooked on it as well. I’m at level 22 now and it’s gotten pretty boring. I just got the gloves, but along with the lamp it doesn’t give you any directions on which games have the bushes for you to go through. Then when you do find them it’s just a trophy reward. I think it’s time for some new stories. The game has a lot of potential but it’s waaaay too glitchy and out dated to keep playing long term. It has started crashing on me every time I finish a quest, which means I’m not getting my firefly and can’t play the games. Also something that should be updated, why can’t we play more than one firefly game? There are a lot of things in this game that are just left unexplained, there is little to no direction. So over all it’s fun until you run out of stories to play…then it’s just redundant and frustrating. ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME *2022-02-12, version 3.5.0* It’s a great game and has SO many Christian stories for a lot of age groups. It includes stories from different places in the world at different times. I really like this game. I think you will like it to. 😊😊😊 ### 3/5 — more ways to level up PLZZZ *2021-09-28, version 3.5.0* MORE WAYS TO LEVEL UP PLZ ### 5/5 — What an awesome game *2021-08-27, version 3.4.2* I mean, what else do you want? A game that uses amazing Bible stories and brings them to life with added fun! Ancora is an amazing world and is packed full with detail. Some say that the animation isn’t great, but it must be really hard to get it as good as it is in this game! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2021-08-17, version 3.4.2* The ### 4/5 — Absolutely amazing ❤️✝️. *2021-06-14* I am very happy this game is giving the word of god,but in a gaming way too ! I remember playing this when I was younger. I remember I deleted the app a long time ago(Not sure why),and this morning it came to my mind so I had to find it . I am glad I have reunited with this game ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Upd *2025-02-01, version 3.5.2* This is a really amazing game but the last time the devs touched the game was like 3 years ago I just think we need a little more bible stories and more ways to level up ### 1/5 — Inappropriate for littles *2020-07-25, version 3.4.0* The imagery in this game includes blood, violence and crucifixion. Please be aware before you let your little ones play it u supervised. ### 1/5 — Worst Game ever! *2020-05-11, version 3.0.5* Just know this game is the worst !!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Eh *2018-06-27, version 2.8.3* I like the concept but the graphics and the overall game is crap ### 1/5 — Too buggy *2017-06-04, version 2.5.2* I am in third grade and I think think this is a good idea for a Christian kids game. But it has to many malfunctions!!😤 For example I can't get my avatar to move or do certain tasks if she moves she goes in different directions that I want her to go. When I make her jump she falls into the water or slams onto the ground repeatedly!😐🤕😡 The game is very slow and it doesn't show me where to start and go.🤔there are no guidelines or instructions to tell me what I need to do. What is the task and the point of this game? How do you know when you win or when you lose😡 I think this was released to early!😢💩 this game was too hard to do at so I gave up. I was disappointed because it was supposed to be a fun Christian ✝️game that I will have a lot of fun to enjoy playing. Just navigating was hard to do😭 ### 1/5 — WooHoo! Brainwashing & Indictrination *2015-11-20, version 1.8.0* If you don't care about your child enough to not protect them from Harmful cults & doctrines, then this "game" is for you! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2015-08-25, version 1.5.6* After about 1minute the character gals flat on his face as he tries to jump onto the scaffolding. No way to find out what is wry. A missed opportunity to involve my grandson in a biblical game. Can anyone help us? ### 1/5 — Mrs *2015-08-25, version 1.5.6* Can't get jump over water. Constantly fall in and get sent back. Any tips? ### 1/5 — Dated *2015-07-01, version 1.4.1* Very dated, might have been barely passable for first generation platform, and did not take long before it crashed. Fishes!! ### 2/5 — Please Fix this ISSUE.😡 *2020-04-06, version 3.0.4* Everything is Awesome!😘But I have one simple problem.Everytime I enter SIMON PETERS HOUSE MISSION I can’t get past the red rock.Everytime I jump over it,I get stuck in the roof and can’t finish the mission!😾FIX THIS NOW!MY KID IS LOSING INTEREST IN IT. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-05-28, version 3.5.2* Please Please Add more stories and chapters. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2025-03-20, version 3.5.2* A really good way to teach your child about Christ 👑 ### 5/5 — Love it ✝️✝️ *2025-01-06, version 3.5.2* I love how you get to learn about Jesus and it is an amazing way to learn life skills to teach people about Jesus! ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME! *2024-10-08, version 3.5.2* I really like this game and love how you have adventures and stories, the best part is I love the creativity of it all with the spire and you having to get the stories back to life! This is a really good game. I honestly don’t know why you only have a 3.9 star rating. My cousin watched me play and also really loves it. Thanks so much. You should make more games like this. May god be with you! ### 5/5 — Best game ever!!!! *2024-07-21, version 3.5.2* This game I would highly recommend. Not only is it free, not only does it have lots of levels and multiple accounts, but you learn about the life of Jesus! You can familiarise yourself with 11 amazing bible stories, in the form of a game. Also, it has over 200 videos of bible stories and parables. You can even do lots of quizzes about the bible, and create posts online or privately in the game, where you can type out an answer for questions about the bible stories, and you can even use stickers in the posts that you unlock along the way. If you are a Christian, or want to learn more about the Gospel, then you need to download this game right now! ### 5/5 — More games *2024-07-17, version 3.5.2* Hi there and thank you so much for this wonderful Bible game for kids and devotionals. We started with the games of Ancora on the boat, but now the kids are reading the devotionals of Ancora kids are lost. How do I get the games to include kids are lost? Thank you so much for your help as the kids would like to move on to other games within the app ### 5/5 — Love it 💕 *2023-10-26, version 3.5.2* I just downloaded it and I can’t wait for the fun 🤩 ### 5/5 — review *2023-09-05, version 3.5.2* It is so fun to play guardians of ancora. ### 5/5 — Just one thing… *2023-07-04, version 3.5.2* I really like the game but whenever I finish a Bible story, the game just kicks me out and I need to go in again. Can you please fix it? ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-06-19, version 3.5.2* Used to play this on a taxi driver's ipad while going to school, they were Christian so it's what'd you expect from a biblical platformer --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
