About Run Jesus Run

A short (10-second) collection of mini-games derived from the New Testament, this game puts the player in charge of a retro-styled Jesus Christ, harnessing player reflexes and platform-game problem-solving (run, jump) to re-enact Scriptural verses Luke 4:1-13, John 6:1-14, Mark 6:45-52, Matt 5:1-2, Mark 8:22-26, John 11:1-44 and Matt 8:1-4.

The left and right keyboard arrows are used to move, while the space bar is brought into play to work miracles (or "do Jesus things" as it says in the introduction, where it also notes that the goal of the 10-second gameplay session is "to save the humanity.")

Following the brief series of chunky-pixel screens, the player's overall success is measured by how many Apostles were swayed by the player's acrobatic feats. [source:mobygames]

About Faith Fighter

DISCLAIMER: This game is not intended to be offensive towards any religion in particular. Its aim is to push the gamers to reflect on how the religions and sacred representations are often instrumentally used to fuel or justify conflicts between nations and people. The game contains a depiction of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. If you feel that such a depiction would be offensive, we ask that you play the censored version of the game in which the character's face has been removed. Or better yet, don't play the game at all.

Faith Fighter is the ultimate fighting game for these dark times. Choose your belief and kick the shit out of your enemies. Give vent to your intolerance! Religious hate has never been so much fun.
