I’ve tried everything to try and sort it but it still won’t register me trying to buy one! £12.99 wasted! Please can I have a refund on my purchase ### 1/5 — Not for non home button phones *2026-06-29, version 1.9.180445* Use to love this game and remembered I hadn’t played in years. Imagine my surprise when playing on a 17pro and the swipe up for home causes some issues on placement and other stuff. So it’s basically unplayable now 😢 ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-06-29, version 1.9.180445* Doesn’t work on iPhone anymore (can’t place towers at the bottom of the map) ### 1/5 — Broken on newer iPhone devices *2026-06-26, version 1.9.180445* You are unable to purchase the machine gun on iPhone 16 pro which makes the game essentially unwinnable. There’s also a UI bug at the bottom center of the screen on maps but that can be worked around. Inability to purchase towers is not workable especially with the machine gun. Would be a great game if they patched for newer devices ### 5/5 — good game *2026-05-26, version 1.9.180445* nice ### 5/5 — 안드로이드용은 왜 안만들어주시나 ㅠ *2026-05-10* 이만한게 진짜 없음 ### 1/5 — Don’t make purchases *2026-05-06, version 1.9.180445* Do not spend your money in or on this game. I bought stars to get towers and it will not allow me to use any of my stars. Total waste of money. ### 4/5 — PLEASE FIX ITEM BUTTON *2026-04-17, version 1.9.180445* I've returned to this game but have reach an almost unplayable point where i cant play any heroic maps because i cant purchase items with the in game coins. i'm completely out of items and cant get any more ### 5/5 — Fix glitch *2026-04-16, version 1.9.180445* I can’t purchase items on iPhone 14. ## Frequently asked questions about Fieldrunners 2 ### What is Fieldrunners 2?
