I’ve been eyeing this since release, unsure whether I should pay out 59p to give it a go. Over the weekend, though, it was free, so I didn’t have to.

You’re a zombie on a treadmill. You have to leap over the saw blades that come across the bottom of the screen, duck down under ones that come across the top.

It’s all very simple and, at first, it feels awful. I died and died and died – I just couldn’t get the timing down at all. However, after a few frustrating minutes it clicked and I managed to start setting some half-decent scores. There’s not a lot to it, no, and there’s a big hurdle to leap over at the start – no pun intended – but it’s good fun and certainly a great game to get for free. I don’t think I’d have been disappointed if I’d paid for it, either. It’s not quite up there with Canabalt or Mr.AahH!!, but it’s not that far off.
