The gameplay of "Save Jesus" is characterized by a gradual increase in difficulty, introducing more complex mechanics as players progress through levels. While some reviews praise its engaging physics-based puzzles and replayability, others criticize the simplicity and repetitiveness of the mechanics, as well as the low-quality graphics. Overall, the game offers a mix of fun and frustration, appealing to casual gamers but potentially lacking depth for those seeking a more extensive experience.
- “The gameplay is unlike anything I had seen.”
- “The ending of the game drove me to tears due to how well it was written, and don't get me started on the gameplay: Save Jesus manages to be one of the most replayable and fun games of our generation.”
- “Gameplay is amazing, graphics are intense at times, and Jesus truly does ascend to heaven.”
- “Save Jesus is a game where you try to save Jesus by dropping rocks on the people trying to kill him. The gameplay is mediocre at best, and the graphics are very poor, with budget-cutting visuals. The puzzles are very simple and don't engage the player.”
- “The gameplay feels really weirdly paced, so that my first playthrough of the game was split between blasting through most of the missions and sitting trying to figure out timing on like four missions. This would be more forgiving if all of these slow missions were at the end of the game, but no, they are dispersed throughout for some reason.”
- “- most achievements suck (you get 1 achievement for every weapon you finish all 50 levels with, so you have to play the same game 9 times to get them with no difference in gameplay)”
