Christian games
Three games with a biblical background
Short games you play in a minute or two, and not invented out of nothing: the Good Samaritan is the parable from Luke, Fishers of Men is Peter's call to become a fisher of men, Manna from Heaven is the bread that fell for Israel in the desert. They are played with a finger, in the browser, with no install.
What it gives you
A biblical background, not a decoration
Each game has its verse — Luke 10:33, Matthew 4:19 and Exodus 16 — and the rules follow that picture rather than the other way round. In the Samaritan you do not dodge; you stop.
Three difficulty levels
Beginner, intermediate and expert. Things fall faster and a miss is felt — it is not only tapping.
They work offline
The games are part of the installed app, so they play on the road, in a waiting room and where there is no signal.
For children and catechism
Short and free of violence, so they can be handed to children after catechism or in a parish group.

Biblical games that run in the browser
There are few Christian games that are neither dull nor cheap. These three were made for Holymeet and try to take the biblical image seriously: the Good Samaritan inverts the rule of its whole genre, because in it you do not dodge but stop, and stopping costs you your own progress; in Fishers of Men the net brings in people rather than fish, because that is what Peter was told; in Manna from Heaven you catch falling bread, because Israel in the desert received exactly what that day required.
All three are written as web games — they run in the browser on a phone and on a computer, need no store install and collect nothing about the player. They are controlled with one finger or the arrow keys, so a child and a grandmother can both play.
The games are the easiest way into the rest of Holymeet: behind them stand the prayer wall, the rosary, the Catholic calendar, the quiz and a community of people who live their faith rather than only read about it.
