Unless Vatican took this game in account, it will surely do it in the next weeks. The game`s content has nothing with do with blasphemy or other offensive feature against Church, but as prelates are so meticulous and considered that “Avatar” attacked Vatican`s position, who knows what they could say about this childish game?!
On “Godfinger”, you are a God. Nothing outstanding, all the time we probably dream about being in the shoes of our boss, what could happen, if we choose to be God on a game?! This paper of God doesn`t borrow anything from Christianity tradition, so don`t worry about this aspect, but still there are some ethical features.
As a God, you command to the world, thanks to your finger- that`s the reason why the game was named as “Godfinger”. With one finger of your hand you can interfere inside the game and so you can turn people into followers or give them orders to work for your planet. A very unusual way to play a game and probably this is the most inciting part of the game. As far as I can remember, I haven`t seen a game like this.
You aren`t the only one with a magic finger, your avatar in the game can do the same as you. Just by the raise of his finger towards the sky and the thunder appears on the horizon. I bet that this image, similar to that of the Sistine Chapel will start a intense debate inside the Vatican and it wouldn`t be any surprise to see the game boycotted.
On your planet, you have to form a solid community of followers. They will earn gold, mana and awe, they will built things and so you will step into a new level.
If you recognize some common features of “We rule”, you have guessed well: both games are produced by Ngmoco. The game is as well for free and the beginning tutorials will help you a lot. For instance, you will be shown hints for a faster rejuvenation by building wells and taverns or to upgrade your shrine in order to get more mana, necessary for bringing rain over your community.
“Godfinger” occupies just 23 MB on your iDevice and it`s available in English, French, German, Japanese or Spanish. On iTunes, the game received absolutely positive critics from gamers, who describe it as an “amazing” experience.
On the official site you will find plenty of screenshots and tips from players, in order to get your experience more advanced. The last trend is to visit your friends` planets and to conquer the attention of their followers, so that you can earn sweet rewards. Try to name your followers after the name of your friends and enjoy the fun of giving orders to the avatars of your buddies.
