Mobzombies & Arcade Games in the Real World
Mobzombies is a location-based iPhone game that pits you against hordes of 8-bit zombies. Mobzombies uses the Foursquare API to generate zombie hordes at specific venues like parks, bars, or museums. The difficulty and size of each horde also corresponds to foursquare checkin data, creating a strong link between the game world and the real world. Additionally, unique controls allow players to use their bodies as joysticks, turning mundane physical things (barstools or people, for instance) into tricky game obstacles.
