Zombies shamble across the screen on two separate planes: one in the foreground, one in the background. Playing out over a series of single-screen backdrops, Stay Alive is not a complex proposition. Thanks to some meaty visuals and a slightly restrictive control scheme, this gruesome gallery shooter does produce moments of tension, even if the suspense - and entertainment - factor is somewhat short-lived. Your mission is simple: kill as many zombies as you can by launching sharp projectiles at their skulls. Stay Alive casts you as just such a fellow. That is, of course, unless some gracious fellow decides to put a large crossbow bolt straight through the centre of our recently reanimated brains.
Thanks to the near constant onslaught of zombie games, the dream of taking a well-deserved after-death dirt nap has been replaced by the gnawing certainty that our rotting corpses will be forced to aimlessly wander the earth for all eternity. If Stay Alive is anything to go by, being dead is an exhausting business.
