  • gameplay35 mentions

    The gameplay of "Save Jesus" is characterized by a gradual increase in difficulty, introducing new mechanics as players progress, which keeps the experience engaging and replayable.

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.”
