Zombies & Survival
The zombies in Skatevex are slow on their own and dangerous in a crowd. Getting through is about speed and tricks, with a few items to get you out of trouble.
The zombies
They're grey-green, they wear what they had on when it happened, and they stumble. Some crawl on the ground. Some wait behind doors and burst out a few metres ahead of you. In the chase, a whole pack follows you.
You can shove one out of the way, but it only knocks them down for a moment. Most of the time it's better to jump, grind or ride round them.
Four kinds to watch for
Shambler
Stumbles along slowly. Easy to ride past on its own, a wall when there are ten of them.
Runner
Breaks into a short, fast sprint when it sees you. Don't slow down.
Lurker
Waits round a corner and lunges when you get close. Watch the bulbs.
Bulky
Big enough to block an alley, and it can't be shoved. Jump it or find another way.
Bites and infection
A bite fills your infection meter. Use an Antidote to clear it and keep going. A full meter, or a fall in the middle of a crowd, knocks you down.
Items that keep you going
Antidote
Clears your infection straight away. Tap the antidote button, or press E on the keyboard.
Revive Kit
Gets you back up on the spot when you're knocked down.
Helmet
Blocks one bite per run. Buy one in the shop and wear it.
Boost
A few seconds of extra speed. Found on the streets and given as a reward.
If they get you
No Revive Kit? The run ends, and you can try again straight away. The gems you picked up on the way are yours to keep.
Gems
Gems sit along the routes, and there are more of them in the risky alleys than on the main roads. You also get gems for finishing a level and for landing combos. Spend them in the shop.
