How do I play?
Tap to jump and hold to dash. Choose the full marathon or Short Run on the home screen. The in-app How to play screen explains moves and scoring; the Move guide demonstrates 25 moves.
No sound or background music?
Turn on Music + sound in app settings. Check your iPhone’s media volume and audio output, including Bluetooth devices. Resume the game manually after a call or switching apps. Music is bundled with the app, so ordinary play does not need a music download.
How do I adjust haptics?
Turn Haptics on or off in app settings, independently of sound. Short patterns mark dashes, successful moves, hits and finishes. Boss encounters use a pattern that follows flight through landing. Ordinary footsteps and jumps do not trigger haptics.
Where are my records and titles stored?
Personal bests, titles, recent runs, daily goals and preferences are stored in this app on your device. There is no Web record import or game-save sync between devices. Earn all 17 standard titles to unlock Night Run. Collect every title to unlock special effects and section practice. Practice does not save scores or titles.
Before deleting or reinstalling
Deleting the app deletes its local records. Please contact us before deleting it to troubleshoot a problem. Offload App keeps app data. OS backup and restore depend on Apple and device settings; there is no developer-server restore feature.
How do I switch language?
Change Jesus Run’s app language in iPhone Settings, then reopen the app. The location of this option varies by iOS version. English uses English text, while Japanese keeps controls and explanations primarily in Japanese. A name entered for a reward card is not translated.
What about Game Center?
Game Center is being prepared and is disabled in the current prototype. This build does not send scores or achievements to Apple. You can play with local records. We will update this guidance when it is enabled for release.
How do I share a result or reward card?
Use the share button on a result or achievement screen, then choose a destination in the iOS share sheet. Review any name entered on a card before sharing it. You can also dismiss the share sheet and return to the game.
Can I play offline?
The game, music, instructions and Move guide work offline. Game Center, external websites, email and sending to other services require an internet connection. There are no in-app purchases. External fundraising gives no points, items or titles.
