### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2022-12-26, version 1.7*

Great game but it’s been the same for years

### 5/5 — Can you pause the game

*2022-04-09, version 1.7*

Great game enjoy it immensely.  Question does this game have a pause option?

### 4/5 — Ok

*2019-05-28*

I remember playing this game.

### 4/5 — Run and shoot and don’t stop

*2019-04-04, version 1.7*

It’s one of the most entertaining zombie games I’ve ever played

### 5/5 — SO ADDICTIVE

*2018-05-08, version 1.7*

This game takes the F out of fun and puts it in FANTASTIC! I love how challenging and fun it is at the same time. So if you like zombie games then you need to play this. Especially  if your up for a challenge 👍

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-04-28*

I normally don’t like this type of game but when I downloaded it I was playing for about 4 hours. This game is well made and I would definitely recommend it

### 5/5 — Running Dead

*2017-11-24, version 1.7*

Fantastically designed and actually fun to play. Earning money and using it to purchase new weapons and upgrade them, keeps the entertainment level high enough to keep you playing. There are different control schemes to choose from which is nice. The menus are well designed, intuitive and easy to use. The gun upgrades do make a difference, but not much unless you max them out. The object of the game isn't to reach an end, (that's why they're called "endless runners) but more to see how far you can get without being eaten. Some upgrades are permanent like self healing over time. 
It's a truly fun game worth trying. 
Regards, J
P.S. it's kind of stupid to go and rate a game with one star, only to promote another, or to put it down with statements that show that you obviously haven't played it. Go twitter with the rest of your looser friends and bicker there.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2017-09-24*

Good game

### 4/5 — Running Dead - Awesome Zombi game!

*2017-07-20, version 1.7*

Running Dead installed fine. Have never had a problem with it on my iPad 2 which is currently running iOS 9.3.  I have had it installed since early 2013, with all updates.  The game is fun, the zombies chase after your human.  Features are easy to access and use.  Lots of fun action running away and slaughtering zombies.

### 5/5 — Liking it

*2017-04-09, version 1.7*

Not bad fun to play hard play also
