ShortyX Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 GUYS! I got chased by zombies on my run today. No shit, there I was and I could hear them....through my headhpones. I waited to write about this until I tried it out and it is freakin' awesome. Want to feel like a hero of the small contingent of humans surviving the zombies apocalypse while you run? get this app: https://www.zombiesrungame.com/ (sorry, android friends, the android one isn't out yet...but they're planning one). Basically, it tells a great story while you run (in between tracks if you give it a playlist from iTunes to play), you collect supplies as you go (it's automatic, no need to push buttons while running), and the coolest part: if you run outside with the GPS on it will institute periodic "Zombie attacks" where you have to run faster for up to a minute to escape the zombies. Freakin'. Rad.Once you get home, you can take the supplies you collect and use them to level up different parts of your base. The higher your base levels, the more missions you unlock. The production quality is actually pretty good, on par with any book on tape I'd say. I really enjoyed the first mission at least, hoping the others are just as good. Just realized this sounds like an infomercial. I am NOT being paid to say this, I just thought it was a cool app other geeky fitness types would get a kick out of. It's on the pricey side ($8), I suspect because of the cost of producing such a thing, there are 25-30 missions, each with actors doing the voice-overs, so I'd bet it was a pricey bit of app, but it's a lot of fun. Check it out if you want some running motivation. For those who get bored it's a nice way to break up the monotony too!

Philociraptor Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 1) It is freaking awesome. Super high production quality, ton of fun for zombie lovers. 2) This is the third thread I believe in which it has come up. It's that awesome. Quote Link to comment
scuddle Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've been seeing this pop up more often lately, and am so desperate to have it on my android phone! I'm waiting impatiently until that day. Quote Level 1 Wood Elf DruidSTR 3 | DEX 3 | STA 1 | CON 3 | WIS 2 | CHA 3 First Challenge Link to comment

RadRanger Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 This app is seriously tempting me to bite the bullet and get a smartphone when my contract is up this spring. I know they say it works on ipod touch, but I'm sure it would be somewhat crippled by the lack of GPS.Very neat idea.

Mickie Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 They have one version out for the Android, but it's not the full version. It's a very toned down version, with no storyline or anything like that - just a GPS game with red dots indicating zombies that you have to run away from.The storyline version of the game for Android comes out later this Spring. Or so they say. Quote I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Philipians 4:13 AWESOME TEAM OF FLYING MONGOOSES! Jump Rope Challenge: 800 Link to comment
Swthrtsuzy Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I bought the app last week, but it's been raining since then so I haven't gotten a chance to try it out. I'm super stoked to outrun some zombies! Quote Current ChallengeLevel 2 Human RangerSTR 3 | DEX 2 | STA 2 | CON 2 | WIS 3 | CHA 2Mens sana in corpore sano Link to comment
CalvinHobbes Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Do you program in how far you want to run? Say you're only going out for a mile or so, would you put that in somehow or would zombies start attacking right outside my apartment when I'm finished? Quote Link to comment

That happened to me, actually was ramping up for a new mission/zombie attack as I got to my door and I just stopped the game and returned to base. It was fine.
