Zombies, Run! (now ZRX: Zombies Run, by Six to Start) is an audio adventure: a story plays in your headphones while you run, and you collect supplies to build your base. If you want a running game where your pace directly powers combat, and you can run with friends in real time, try Run Legends, a free running RPG for iPhone and Android.
