Benediction is the second game from writer and creator Mike Schramm. It was developed over a two-day period in October 2012, and Mike has decided to release it as a universal app for completely free!

In Benediction, you play as God (or just a god), answering the prayers of supplicants. Blue supplicants are unhappy because they want faith, something to believe in a cruel world. Purple supplicants are lonely -- they need others like them to love. Green supplicants have prayers of wanting, of material and physical needs. And yellow supplicants seek actual miracles, that elusive proof of the unreal.

You can answer all of their prayers, no matter how complex, just by tapping on them! When you do, all of the supplicants of the same color next to each other (even diagonally) will have their prayers answered, granting you worship points (and eventually fueling your powers). Use your powers of answering prayer to earn as many worship points as possible before your god power runs out, and then use your worship points to upgrade your skills and become the most powerful god of all!

Benediction has...

-State of the art, realistic Schramm-created graphics. Theyre not that good, but theyre the most colorful hes ever made.
-Innovative puzzle game mechanics!
-A rich and rewarding progression system!
-The chance to earn dozens of different titles!
-Game Center leaderboards to compete on against your friends and foes!
-No annoying sound to keep you from listening to music or watching TV in the background! Seriously, who needs sound, right?

Benediction was designed to run on an iPhone 4, an iPhone 5, and an iPad 2. It will presumably run on other devices, though youll have to do so at your own risk. Any major bugs will be fixed as soon as possible.

Like this game? Search "Antithesis" on the App Store to find and buy Mike Schramms first game. Its completely different from this one, in that its in black and white, not turn-based, and you pay for it, but Mike would definitely appreciate the dollar.

And speaking of dollars, Mike made this game in just two days during a personal game jam. Hed love to have even more time to make games, but cant always justify the free time. So you can support him by buying Antithesis (see above), OR, if you happen to be a game developer or publisher who could make a deal to financially support Mike and give him more time to work on games like this, please drop an email to [email protected]!

Thanks for playing, and enjoy the game. You are great for coming here and downloading it, and I truly hope that all of your prayers are answered in exactly the way you want them to be.

The latest update has added new titles to progression. Now, your titles will change as you level up the various powerup levels, and when youve maxed everything out, youll reach the rank of "The Almighty." After that, rank titles will be based on your all-time WP, and the highest title you can reach is at 1 billion WP total. Thats right: 1,000,000,000 WP. Good luck getting to that one!
