[h1] Very unusual game... First you have to get some power ups for proper gameplay. Secondly it's quite quirky because you never know how many people gonna get infected - so just keep on slingshoting your bud. Third and last it have some replay value and sense of progress so it might be worth a try for casual gamers. Additional + I learned how to infect people more efficiently! [/h1]

Fun coffee break breakout meets infectonator. This game is fun in short blasts and it does a good enough job for the asking price. The progression seems to slow down a bit after the initial appeal and you will find it to be a bit of a chore to unlock different skins. It's still a well balanced breakout game that does it's job and adds some interesting elements. [h1]Pros[/h1] +Intuitive breakout mechanics of infecting to cause more bouncing score +Fun visuals +Easy to pickup +Variety of shot types +Chains feel satisfying [h1]Cons[/h1] -Repetitive gameplay -Slow progression -Repetitive soundtrack So this isn't an amazing breakout game but it's still pretty fun. If you can pick it up on sale go for it. That short time seems to stack up quick and next thing you know you'll have gotten a few hours entertainment out of two dollars.

RunningDead is a fast-paced arcade puzzle-shooter that blends chaotic action with strategic planning. At the heart of the game, you control a growing horde of zombies as they pursue and infect humans in increasingly crowded environments. The main mechanic revolves around managing space, timing your attacks, and choosing the right tools for the job—all while avoiding being overwhelmed by the very crowd you’re trying to infect. Despite its simple premise, the game quickly becomes a challenge in both reflex and tactical decision-making. The core gameplay is deceptively straightforward: guide your zombies into human crowds, strike, and cause a chain reaction of infections. However, each zombie you unleash bounces through the crowd, ricocheting off humans and walls. With the right shot, you can infect multiple targets at once in a single satisfying move. That’s the puzzle element—knowing when and where to attack for the best result. But it’s not just a matter of striking fast. If too many humans crowd around you, they can trap and kill your zombies, ending your run prematurely. Balancing aggression with careful planning becomes essential. To aid in your undead conquest, you’re not alo…

"GO" I HATE this game SOOOO much! "GO" It's addictive as freaking heck "GO" and it's buggy in a way that makes me want to throat "GO" punch a donkey on any random "GO" Wednesday. The game black screens on every "GO" start for some reason as well, "GO" which requires multiple Alt-Tabs to correct. "GO" Oh, and the music is catchy and "GO" sticks with you for days "GO" because it's just a brain worm. "GO" Do I recommend this game? Yes! "GO" Do I recommend listening to other music while "GO" playing it, Yes, totally. It's a fun game "GO" that will make you keep coming back "GO" for more and is a great value for dollar on the store. "GO" However be ready to get the music "GO" stuck in your brain... >: ( "GO" "GO" "GO" :~(
