    Does anyone know whether the new "Supply Missions" are the same missions that we've done before? They sound similar to some of the other missions I've already completed. I haven't tried them yet, because I keep wanting to move the story along. However now I'm at Mission 20, and I don't want it to end... so.... thoughts?

    I've been doing them. They're not the same. They have no relation to the storyline missions. They're like brief one liners inbetween music.

    Edit: wow, £5.49? Alright.

    Hello Runner 5s:

    I started Zombies, Run! earlier this week. I've done 4 runs (17.1 miles!) and so far I am loving the app. I am surprised how well the storyline is progressing, which is good because I find myself really wanting to go out for runs.

    Population: 103

    This is SO FUN! I usually walk to my parents' house on a Sunday morning (attempting C25K on that) but yesterday instead of running simultaneously my C25K app didn't start so I just had Zombies, Run. Not only did I walk faster (with a run to get away from the old Runner 5) but I also walked BACK, with a stop at the shops! I'm amazed. Amazed! My terminal laziness may have found a cure.

    Mission 1 (with a couple of hours stop in between): population 89.

    Who are the two radio guys (British/American)? Are they dead?

    The two guys who talk on the radio after you've completed your mission are from Able Township.
    They are there to keep your spirits up.
  • There was another update to the app. I think it was to remove some testing buttons.

    I haven't ran much this week, just did some yoga and swimming. I have been missing my zoms. :(

    Mission 3 and 4 (to parents' house and back, hooah!): 3.3 miles, population 112 :)
    I don't have much music on my new phone, so my playlist mostly consists of Kelly Clarkson. Her fast songs are really motivating!
  • This sounds like the most fun I could possibly ever have whilst running. I'm dying to try this but am also terrified of zombies and a little scared it might be too much.

    Can you die in the game?

    There are two modes: Zombie chases (1) On (2) Off.

    With zombie chases there are random hordes of zombies that many come out of nowhere to get you. If you don't increase your speed by 20% then they will catch up to you and you will have to sacrifice some of the supplies you collected to get away. So no, you don't die. :D

    So I went for a long run yesterday (~ 1 hr) and for some reason after the first half I didn't hear any correspondence from the radio but I continued to collect supplies. Then, when I got back to base and turned the mission off I don't have a green check next to the mission name (number 5). Instead there is just a red circle with 3 white dots in the middle. I'm assuming this means that I stopped in the middle of the mission.

    Has this kind of glitch happened to anyone else?


    Anyways, here are my stats:

    Mission 5
    Population 119
    Grad total of 22 miles!
  • I haven't started Zombies, Run! yet but I've had similar issues with my Runtastic app. It's paused itself mid-run before. I have some sort of magic in my *kitten* that beams through layers of fabric to activate touch screens. Perhaps you share my special ability?

    Zombie update: Mission 20 accomplished, Abel pop 252!
  • Started playing. Initially, I was waiting until I had finished some interval training but I just couldn't wait. LOVE IT! I've done 5 runs and am at a population of 150. I walk a lot immediately after my run and pick up hella supplies that way. My Runner 5 shirt came in the mail yesterday but it's too big! All the running from zoms made me slim down too fast. :(

    I'm thinking of getting this but my god, 8 dollars! IS it worth it?

    Stats:
    Mission 5 completed
    Able pop. 121

    total miles 18.33
    total time 233 min
    running longer and getting faster every time :)
  • I'm thinking of getting this but my god, 8 dollars! IS it worth it?

    Totally worth it! You're not just getting an app - you're getting an awesome, interactive audio book and game. If you're willing to spend $8 to see a two hour movie at the theater, then this is a steal with up to 33 or so hours worth of entertainment.

    Funniest timing ever with my randomly played music list and the "radio mode" transmissions...........Nirvana's Rape Me song just finished and the radio guys go "you know what? I had my first kiss to that song!"......Laughed my *kitten* off at the perfect timing :P
  • Zombies, Run! should be about for android today.

    been waiting for this for a LOOONG time. Just finished up my first run (on Android) and loved it. It's just a tad buggy, but I'm sure they'll work out the kinks soon.

    Has anyone on Android figured out a way to get a playlist to import?

    Does the website look horrible for anybody else? I didn't finish my first mission because the ap crashed but I got clsoe.

    For the playlists, I used Winamp app to create mine, Google Music's playlists don't seem to register well for now.

    BUT, there is no way (that I've found at least) to shuffle the playlist, which is really annoying.

    It's an early version, and I'm just glad that it's now available, but I hope they will be quick with bug fix and small updates like that.
