Tampere, Finland – January 26, 2011 – Grim Joggers – a brand new retro arcade title from 10tons is now available. In Grim Joggers the player leads a group of 15 joggers as far as possible before all of them face a gruesome end.
“We think Grim Joggers brings something fresh and unique into running games and does it with polished playability and an original theme.”, commented Sampo Töyssy, one of the developers. “We also have an update coming up shortly after the release. It’ll have some great stuff like falling bombs and minefields.”
Grim Joggers is an arcade-style survival game with online leaderboards and achievements. The goal is simple: Lead the joggers as far as possible before they all have faced a gruesome death. The game has a unique gameplay mechanic where the player controls a group of joggers. The first jogger in line does exactly as the player tells him to and the following joggers will mimic these actions. The more room for error the player can leave, the less joggers will usually die.
Grim Joggers has three unique worlds with original perils for each world. In the jungle there are jogger eating plants and in the mines the joggers may turn into a fine mist after running into a barrel of TNT. Each world has its own achievements and a leaderboard. There are also global achievements that can be achieved on all worlds.
The game is now available on the iTunes App Store. The list price for the game is $1.99, but the game will be on sale for $0.99 for a limited time after the launch. Grim Joggers is an Universal App.
