Mendel's Quest is the only running-jumping-punching game that has distinct Jewish motifs. Set in 19th century Russia, you play as Mendel: an Orthodox Jew with a time machine and a mission to restore as many 'holy books' as possible. Help little Mendel complete his mission. Help him. Mendel's Quest was created by four handsome jews, of whom tried their best to make this game as fun as possible. They would love to hear about any bugs or other bad experiences -- send them an email at mendelsquestgame@gmail.com, preferably before rating the game, and they'll try to make it right :) Gevalt!

Verdict

The call

Steppy Pants and Mendel's Quest both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Mendel's Quest's written reviews are positive against 61% of Steppy Pants's. Mendel's Quest also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown).
