One of the most popular group jogging game on the iTunes App Store has been updated. The update includes a brand new world called Battlefield Bodybuilding. In this world the joggers need to avoid minefields and whistling bombs while navigating through an unforgiving battlefield.
Grim Joggers is a survival group jogging game with online leaderboards and achievements. The player leads the joggers as far as possible before they all face a gruesome death. The player controls fifteen joggers through some of the most hostile jogging environments on the planet. The first jogger 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 more joggers will survive each obstacle.
Grim Joggers now offers four unique worlds with original perils for each world. Each world has its own achievements and a leaderboard.
The game is available on the iTunes App Store. So far the game has appeared on top 10 iPad games lists in 6 countries and top 10 arcade games lists in 23 countries. Grim Joggers is an Universal App.
