About

Jesus Run

Features
Read full description

Jesus is back. This time, he is not walking on water: he is running. Jesus Run is a fast, cartoon endless runner that is absurd, easy to start, and dangerously hard to put down. Tap to jump, collect Faith, dodge biblical obstacles, and chase your best score before one bad idea sends you to Game Over. Why play it: - instant arcade gameplay: one finger, precise jumps, quick runs - powers and miracles: fill the Faith bar and unleash Grace Mode - risky Temptations: coins, wine, apples, and other questionable choices - Hell Rush: when Sin overflows, you have a few seconds to save the run - Meme Dex: discover wrong relics, rare apparitions, and shareable achievements - records and leaderboard: run farther, fail better, restart instantly It is a light, affectionate arcade parody: no sermons, just jumps, cartoons, and a little sacred chaos. Download Jesus Run and find out how long your next resurrection can last.
