To answer those people who were having issues with not getting 'Zombie Chases', I emailed the developers and this is what they say...
_________________________________________________________________________
Hi Russell,
Thanks for your email! In order to get zombie chases, you need to fulfil the following criteria:
- You must be running Zombies, Run! version 1.1
- GPS must be on & have a fix
- You must have Zombie Chases turned on
- You must be consistently moving faster than 3.5km/h
- You must be consistently moving slower than 15km/h
If you're still having problems once you're sure you fulfil all these criteria, please let me know.
All the best,
Matt.0 -
I've been having troubles getting connected to a gps satellite. (I think I live in somewhat bad area, as both my Droid and iPod have this issue.) Can I still use this? Is the accelerometer for this? Is it any good?0

Has anyone tried Zombie, Run! for Droid? Any good?
I've just downloaded it, and I'm gonna be trying it tonight.
Edit: Just booted it up. Looks like a really cheap knock off. I'll still give it a shot, but I'm still gonna be excited for when the real one comes out on Android.0 -

You cannot use the acceleration to have zombie chases. I think at the moment its mandatory to have the GPS. At least it was before Version 1.10 -

My current 'Zombies, Run!' Progress: Tuesday April 3th 2012
There was a bit of a glitch with the app yesterday as someone called me while I was running. The mission didn't kick in again after the call and my play list stopped, but the time carried on going and I still collected things but I didn't get any mission updates. So I stopped and started the mission and it resumed from the last mission update.
Mission 13
1.54 miles - 23 minutes
*Stopped for phone call*
Mission 13 (continued)
1.90 miles - 32 minutes

Question: What do you all do with your phones/MP3 players when you run? Now that summers coming, I'm not sure where I'm going to stick my player (I usually don't exercise with my purse...).0

I want to try this so badly. They don't have it on the android market, yet. Do you know of a way of contacting the people who made it? I'd like to request an android version. Do they have a website?0

can this be done on a treadmill ...lol0

I downloaded it a few weeks ago and love it. I'm new to MFP so I thought I would join in the conversation. Current progress:
Mission 7 complete: Abel Township population 1440 -
can this be done on a treadmill ...lol
Been eyeing the app for a while & when it was at 50% for the weekend, I grabbed it and tried it out in the gym yesterday on the treadmill using Accelerometer mode. Seems to work fine, though it didn't seem to detect the no. of paces I have that well (I see the no. increasing even when I paused to grab some water - I didn't pause the game, just my legs lol). I intend to head outdoors to try it sometime this week, to see if there's any diff with using the GPS mode instead... but yeah a short response to ur question would be: yes
Am wondering abt a few things myself though, wld be great if someone can clarify:
1. does it matter how fast/far you run/walk? It seems that the events in game are timer based rather than distance based. eg. getting to the hospital - is the hospital like xx-km/miles away or xx-min away?
2. the supplies. Went back to base to allocate my supplies & found out that I can put anything anywhere. eg. a pair of shorts can b placed in the hospital, living, even the food storage. Does the distribution of supplies matter? Or do the buildings level up simply by taking into the account the NUMBER and not the TYPE of supplies stashed?
3. is there a free run/walk mode? After I complete Mission One (I only got till the 25min mark b4 my foot hurt too bad to continue), will I b able to just go out for a walk or run to collect more supplies, or do I have to activate a mission to do that?0 -

Mission 2
2.85km - 20 minutes
Zombie mobs encounted: 1 and I evaded it!!
Abel Township Population - 860 -
Ignore Question 2 & 3 that I've posted. Have figured out those by fiddling with the app. Still unsure about Question 1 though. If anyone knows, would b great :bigsmile:0

I *think* you're right - timer based. I've done 3 missions so far, and the only time the pace/distance mattered was when trying to evade the zombie mob. I left the app on for a bit while I was stretching and I still picked up an item or two! (Don't tell!)0 -
Current progress: Mission 8, 7.7 km, 47 minutes. Abel Township Pop 1550
