When I saw the title of the game, I thought there would probably be some objections; but I enjoyed it and will purchase it. I have other games from BF in this vein. There is an abundance of games dealing with voodoo, black magic, the gods of Egypt, etc. So, it's kind of nice to have a representation from the "flip side" of that type of game.

When I saw the title of the game, I thought there would probably be some objections; but I enjoyed it and will purchase it. I have other games from BF in this vein. There is an abundance of games dealing with voodoo, black magic, the gods of Egypt, etc. So, it's kind of nice to have a representation from the "flip side" of that type of game. I've seen some games here that I thought were too violent, so I just bypass them and do not purchase. I appreciate the variety of the games at BF. I didn't find any difficulty with the graphics - I play in windowed mode. I like some of the features here that you don't find in a lot of other M3 games - mainly being able to click on an item to make it whatever you want it to be so you can more easily make a match. This is the kind of game that I enjoy while unwinding from a day at work. Show less

I recommend this game!

I was so pleased to see a biblically themed game! And Jonah is one of my favorite characters from the bible. He's just so much like the rest of us, stubborn when it comes to doing what's necessary, running away to somewhere "better" than his assignment! Been there, done that. LOL

The game itself is fun, relaxing, and just a classic match three with some power ups. I love the cute little spiders expressions when you whack them! Yes, it would be great for children, but some of us older players appreciate relaxing games with a built in message too.
Thanks for a great change from all the dark and gloomy games out there, and for taking a chance on something different. Show less

I am not much of a fan of Match 3 games, but the title made me try it. As you conquer levels, you move the story along. It truly is the story of Jonah denying God and then trusting and obeying him. This is a simple, enjoyable game without a lot of fuss. There are 3 tools you earn to help you along and each level has a specified list of items you collect.

I am not much of a fan of Match 3 games, but the title made me try it. As you conquer levels, you move the story along. It truly is the story of Jonah denying God and then trusting and obeying him. This is a simple, enjoyable game without a lot of fuss. There are 3 tools you earn to help you along and each level has a specified list of items you collect. You are asked if you want to play Relaxed Mode at the beginning of the game. I know the subject of the game might be off-putting to a few people, but I was thrilled to see it! It would be very good for children to play. The narration is from the Scriptures, but worded well for them to understand. The graphics are well done and colorful. I haven't finished the demo, yet, but I think I will buy it with a Punch Card Credit. Show less

I am not sure what caused the somewhat fuzziness of the graphics.

I am not sure what caused the somewhat fuzziness of the graphics. I am using Windows 10 and there was an actual warning that if Windows 10 was being used then click onto the alternative windows setting that the game provided. At first, I ignored this and got a blank screen, Restarted and clicked the alternative and the game started. At first the graphics where OK but then at the second level they got, well if not fuzzy, blurred and as I already wear specs, I thought enough is enough.
This is a pity because the game looked reasonably interesting but as another game player mentioned the play area of the screen was too small.
Increase the game play area, remove the blurry/fuzzy graphics and I'll give it another try, but as it is, sorry guys but this game is not for me. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Very pleased to see someone develop a game with a religious story. Played the full demo, The items and colors were confusing on the gameboard and I'm sure that was the intent, however, vision issues made it irritating. Thanks for the chance to play a game that was refreshing.

I recommend this game!

This is a nice game from the Biblical angle rather than dark, demon, spooky. Gameplay is middle of the road. My biggest issue is that the graphics are poor for today's standard. Everything seemed blurry. The voiceovers were nice, story nice, but the resolution just hurt my eyes after a while--weren't clear. I don't mean in a High Def way--hard to describe--just fuzzy in a way I've not seen in a ...Show more
