A new game on Google Play, The Running Dead, is challenging you to survive 30 days in a zombie apocalypse. For all you zombie killers, that may sound like a breeze, but what about surviving in a world that is pixelated beyond belief?
Each level in the game that you pass is a day. After my time with this title, I’ve gotten through 8 days, so I can honestly say it’s a pretty difficult game. The controls are extremely basic, as all you can do is jump, double jump, and shoot a little pistol.
As your character runs through a level, you must dodge brain-hungry zombies or shoot your way through the hordes. But again, it’s pretty hard to tell what the heck is going on with so much pixelation going on.
The game is free, although I can’t lie, a metric crap ton of ads await any player willing to take up the challenge. The ads are not shown during gameplay, but since you die very often, you’re bound to see quite a few. Do I think ads make a game awful? Not entirely, but they certainly turn me off from a game a lot quicker than a game without them.

And here a guy finishing The Running Dead game, all the 30 days XD (Third try on the video) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KLqiLeiSdw . Only one bullet missed to pickup and 4 used at the end LOL!
Also glad to see some one reaching 8 days, congratulations! most ones can’t pass 4th day -_-! i’m curious to know what the hell are they going….
Ouch, this was one of the worst gaming experiences I’ve had – sooooooo unresponsive on my 2013 Droid Maxx. Took me 4 or 5 taps on the screen just to get the game to start it.
What WP afraid off http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVVeoAIJLDU#
Hmm, I am a big fan of some retro games of say the Nintendo era, but when they start looking like they are from the Atari era, well I get a little bored. I think 320×200 is my minimum resolution.
What has more ads…this game or Droid Life ?? Sorry Tim, that was just too easy 😉
This game lol
And you want a 4K display on your phone so you can play these types of games. Lol
Maybe if my phone has a QHD/UHD display it won’t be so pixelated lol
People see ads still? I assumed everyone had an adblocker plugin…
“Not entirely, but they certainly turn me off from a game a lot quicker than a game with them.” – You meant ‘without them’, right?
So, it’s an Xbox One simulator 😛
/sigh…really?
Having a little fun, lol
🙂
Funny guy right there. I’d have to say the graphics in Xbox One games are a tad better than the ones in The Running Dead.
/facepalm/ lol
Well, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d love to take the plunge into a world filled with pixelated zombies. Sounds like a cakewalk.
What is the difference between a regular, ordinary zombie and a pixelated zombie? There is no difference. Because they both got their heads blown off by my trusty boomstick.
I think that’s because you play every game that DL mentions. Just saying.
Not every game, but most. Or only the ones that sound the most interesting.
So…when “pixelated” and “zombies” are in the same sentence, color me interested.
Yeah, it’s almost like he has “TheGamer” in his name or something… 😉
Are you trying to be a smartass?
Yup, see: 😉
I bet your parents regret you huh? That’s why you need the attention. Is that it? You didn’t get enough love from mommy and daddy?
Yup 😉
Man, all that for a winky face?
No
I’m just as “tart” as I’ve always been.
Are you usually this defensive?
Don’t forget to shop smart, shop S-Mart!
To be honest the pixilation looks like through the eyes of a zombie, should be a zombie trying to survive for 30 days. More Brains….
Does it have Google Cloud Save?
And this will be the next flappy bird for all the hipsters cuz it looks retro….it’s ridiculous…
If you’re focused too much on what hipsters do, then you’re no better than them.
Dont be mad bro. Didnt mean to offend. The story should be about how in 2014 someone created a game that doesnt even belong on the Atari 2600…if you even know what that is…
I’m not mad. I’m just saying why bother bringing up hipsters when it’s just an Android game. The sooner people stop talking about hipsters the sooner that trend will die. But yes, I get what you’re saying with pixelated games. They should have been left in the 90’s.
Now all we need is a story about the 4K resolution on the G3 on top of this story and how 4K resolution should have been on the S5…sigh…you barely ned vga resolution to play garbage like this….yet its a story. Must be a slow news day.
Amazing
You can say that again.
Hi Grim! 😉
Excuse me?
