This is a simple game where you wall around the Aqsa compound, searching for chests, and picking up keys by answering trivia questions about different locations in the compound.
I can't find any "ideology" in it.
The graphics are OK, but the game really shines in the scale of the map. You feel as if you're actually walking from Masjid Qibli to the Dome of the Rock to the Aqsa mosque itself. You can explore almost every inch of Al-Aqsa.
The only issue I found was clunky controls. When you run into the question box, you might start jumping up and down for a few seconds, which eats your energy and causes you to lose the game. The controls are simple enough that you can adapt to the clunkiness.
I would definitely recommend it for whoever wants to learn about Masjid Al-Aqsa and visit it.
