### 5/5 — Great game!

*2023-03-17, version 1.3.177598*

Need to create new software to keep playing on new devices!

### 5/5 — A classic

*2023-03-16, version 1.3.177598*

This game won awards when it appeared I recall around 2009. It was one of the original tower defence games and is still lots of fun to play. Fieldrunners 2 is a step up from it, basically with a lot more of everything. I highly recommend both.

### 5/5 — Update most

### 5/5 — AWESOME GAME!

*2021-06-04, version 1.3.177598*

Fieldrunners is a very very very very good game! You can earn money by shooting bad guys with guns! And you start off with 15$ in the game but you can use some to put guns down and get enemies! Some guns cost 5$ others cost 70$! This game is worth 4$ I play it all the time! So download it right now!

### 3/5 — Keeps freezing.

*2021-04-25, version 1.3.177598*

I have to pause game to upgrade weapons and or move weapons into play. Keeps freezing up.

This is a great strategy game!!!

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2021-04-02, version 1.3.177598*

When will they update the maps?  I’ve been playing same old maps for over a decade. Please add new maps. I love your game. Thank You

### 5/5 — It works

*2021-03-28, version 1.3.177598*

So a bunch have people have been saying this game doesn’t work, but they are using the wrong app. iPad app for IPad and I phone app for I phone. This game works if you download the right app, ok?

### 5/5 — Best game

*2021-01-01, version 1.3.177598*

The best

### 5/5 — Been playing since 2009

*2020-09-22, version 1.3.177598*

Been playing since 2009. Off and on but still love it. Better than it’s predecessors

### 5/5 — One of my all time favourites

*2020-09-06, version 1.3.177598*

Played this regularly for about 6 years. Think I prefer it to  F 2. No need for a sandbox, just get back on your ‘horse’ and try harder.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2020-09-05, version 1.3.177598*

Get it

### 1/5 — Crash, crash, crash

*2024-08-06, version 1.3.177598*

After some good progress the app needed an ipad restart to launch. Now, even that results in an immediate app collapse.
Not going to reinstall as that seems to lose the progress to date. I suspect that the app code has not kept up with IOS updates. If so, I feel scammed…

### 1/5 — for ipad mini 6

*2022-04-20, version 1.3.177598*

Need fix full screen for ipad mini 6

### 1/5 — Crashes on iPad Pro/no longer supported

*2021-04-13, version 1.3.177598*

Just as the title says.  No longer runs on the current iOS.

### 1/5 — iOS 14 incompatibility

*2021-01-25, version 1.3.177598*

Help please. Ever since the iOS 14.3 update, my favorite game Fieldrunners automatically quits upon launch.  Please fix to give back this game’s deserved five stars.

### 1/5 — What did u do to this game?

*2020-04-09, version 1.3.177598*

Used to be fun. Loaded it back up and there is no way you can overcome the massive massive horde of enemies on the last two levels, even on easy. What the hell happened here?

### 1/5 — Cannot be beat

*2018-11-12, version 1.3.177598*

This game was fun at first, but after dozens of times of never winning, it gets frustrating.

### 1/5 — Ruined for IPad Pro.

*2017-05-05, version 1.3.177590*

As noted the game now runs at a set resolution which is below that of the `IPad Pro 12.1, so runs in a window. The programmers might like to learn about upscaling. Surprising error in what was a brilliant game. Deleting and  reinstalling does not help.

### 1/5 — What the hell please listen

*2017-05-04, version 1.3.177590*

Please fix this app for 12.9 inc iPad Pro because the screen very very small

### 1/5 — New update extremely disappointing

*2017-04-30, version 1.3.177571*

Absolutely loved playing this game on my iPad Pro, but the new update means there is a white frame of an inch wide all around, reducing the playing area by approximately a third. Really not happy!
UPDATE; now it doesn't work at all! When I click to open the game I'm taken straight back to the home page. I'm really not happy as I paid extra for the complete set of games and now I can't play this at all! 😡

### 1/5 — iPad Pro not full screen

*2017-04-29, version 1.3.177571*

Love this game but now it is not showing full screen on my iPad Pro. I wish I didn't have auto update enabled, worked perfectly before this version.

### 5/5 — Addicted

*2026-06-20, version 1.3.177598*

I play Version 1 almost every day.

### 5/5 — BEST TD GAME AVAILABLE!

*2026-02-22, version 1.3.177598*

To me, this is tower defense at its best. The ability control the path for the attackers is such a key part of the strategy for the genre.  I just love this game.

### 5/5 — Field runner

*2025-09-02, version 1.3.177598*

Nice battle field

### 5/5 — It never gets old

*2025-08-14, version 1.3.177598*

I invested a great deal of time in this game when it first came out. I finally managed to be victorious on all of the battlefields. Then I went on to other things. Recently, I opened up the game again. Of course, I could not remember what I had done to win previously, so I had to start all over. It is just as much fun this time around. It never gets old.

### 5/5 — Classic game

*2024-09-04, version 1.3.177598*

Always loved playing this. Wish there were more games like this

### 5/5 — Fixed now

*2023-12-26, version 1.3.177598*

If you had this game "back in the day" and you're wondering if it still works, it does. Still almost unbeatable entertainment value for a TD genre game.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-10-11, version 1.3.177598*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Fieldrunners ha

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-06-25, version 1.3.177598*

Been my favorite game scene I was a kid.

### 5/5 — Mobile Game Peak

*2023-05-08, version 1.3.177598*

This game and specifically Fieldrunners2 will forever be my favorite mobile game. Everything from the gameplay, designs, and Ost are just the best. Nostalgia hit me hard with the these games.
