Project 18 Week 1

When it comes to exercise most of us will say yeah we’ll do it. But are we really going to do it? Mostly no we don’t ever get around to exercising. Well the game Zombies Run, by Six to Start combines running and playing a game. It’s a great way to motivate yourself by thinking you’re being chased and you have to make it to the end to be rewarded.  Each time the person runs from the zombies and makes it to the end they receive materials and supplies for the township of Abel.  In the game you are the main character Runner 5.  While you’re running listening to music a radio broadcast will interrupt the music and let you know just how far the zombies are from approaching you.  I love that you get to listen to your own music and play a game at the same time.  The fact that you can build defenses to prevent zombies is a lot of fun.  What it makes it more fun is that its accessible you can play it on your cellphone.
