Fieldrunners updated, adds multiplayer, new maps, power towers!
Fieldrunners is still my favorite tower defense-style game for the iPad and they've finally (can I say finally again?) put out an update, including an awesome multiplayer mode. Yes, you can now obliterate your editors. I mean friends!
- Now play multi-player with or against friends!
- Three amazing new single player maps!
- Two fun multi-player maps!
- Powerful new towers!
- New fieldrunners to defeat!
- Innovative new merger of tactical path and open field based gameplay.
- Plasma tower: Creates a combo attack when it's projectile collides with another Plasma tower.
- Shotgun tower: Fires a devastating volley of drill bits in a large conical area.
- Lava tower: Incinerates all nearby fieldrunners in a giant wave of fire.
Check out our original review video after the break and if you get the update let me know how you like it!

super awesome update!
FieldRunners is $8 now?
no ipod/iphone update? darn
Ok, I really want this to update for iPhone. On the other hand, it makes me seriously consider buying it, if this is only for iPad. @Redshirt - it's still $3 for the iPhone/iPod Touch version, $8 for the iPad version. I think it's rather steep.
@Trevor, Thanks, I missed that. I thought it was $8 for the iPhone version.
Glad to see the Fieldrunners love.
I am thrilled with the three new levels: Crystal Caves, MudSlide, and Lava flow! Cool but I have discovered a major problem on my iPhone and these three levels... none of them will display any scores! I noticed you can play through any of the levels but no scoring is displayed! I also noticed all my scores within the first 5 levels are gone so I just had to play again, then those scores are displayed. As I progressed through the first 5 levels I noticed "Achievement" notices kept popping up as to say my past record of achievement had vanished. So it is if I am starting over. Crystal Caves was a free download but Lava Flow and MudSlide cost .99/ea I thought Fieldrunners was going to give us a break on charging for a while! I want my scores!
They fixed the crashing problem, by having the game freeze instead at random times.
