24 alternatives to Run With Zombies

I need an extra incentive to run and I love games, so I vibe-coded a real world zombie chasing game where a horde of zombies tries to catch you. If you escape you win, if not you lose. You can try it here: https://runwithzombies.com It uses your phone's GPS to render you on your real location with zombies around you. It's login free (although you can login to save your score), free to play and ad free. It runs on your browser and from my tests it runs better in Chrome. I would love to have some honest feedback. Would you use this? If not why? What would make it better?

    Hi HN ! This is an open source project I've been working on for a while. It's actually the third breakout-like game I've built. I really like the simplicity of the concept, having just one input (the puck horizontal position) and a simple gameplay that gives a low skill floor. My girlfriend and I played a lot of the excellent LBreakoutHD, an open source breakout game that follows the traditional formula of having multiple lives, scoring points by breaking bricks and catching the good upgrades that spawn randomly and fall down, while avoiding bad upgrades. She liked this game because it is…

    I have now finished 2 years of hard work with an indie game called ZombieRun. Game description: After a massive apocalyptic thunderstorm you find yourself in the middle of a dark graveyard with two hungry zombies drooling over you. It seems that the thunder wasn’t the only thing that hit the world while you were out. Do you want to know what it was? It’s time to act fast, stay alive and get to the city for some answers.
