Needs work

2 stars for nostalgia, but unbelievably frustrating gameplay because the thumb control is far to wonky for accurate movement. Swipe right and the Runner goes left into the hole you just dug.

Not for iPhone users

The controls are nearly impossible to control since there is no sense of where your thumb is on the screen, but even still, since I was willing to die a thousand times, I was able to complete all but level 64. Watching videos on how to solve it requires being able to move while falling from one side of the puzzle to the other, but these controls do not allow for that. For the most part I was able to relive earlier days, but the frustration level was too high to give it five stars.

Great family game! Request to add keyboard support

Great game to play as family. Request to add keyboard support and play it full screen… to play as I and many of us played on Apple II … playing it with Apple II keyboard. Also, I enjoy the soundtrack… reminds me of 80s.

Funzt endlich wieder

Danke für das Update jetzt funktioniert das Spiel wieder ich liebe das Spiel

App crashes after completing a level

Love this game, but now the app crashes after each level and doesn’t save the fact that the level has been completed.

アップデート

バージョン1.9.4で非常に操作性が悪くなりました。穴を掘ろうとすると、ワンテンポ遅れます。このままでは遊べません。
ただ、タイムアタックモードでは、なんとか遊べることが解りました。
クリアした途端に落ちることも有りません。
このゲームは、面白いです。アップデートして直るまでタイムアタックモードで遊びましょう!

クリアすると落ちます

最新のアップデート後に起動したら、クリアするとアプリが落ちるようになったので、改善をお願いします。

落ちる

OSアプデ以降?冒険モードで面クリアすると終了する
また他のレビューにもある通り、穴掘りのタイミングが以前より遅くなった気がします

iPhone 16 PROで

16PROでステージクリアすると必ず落ちる
とても遊べない

不具合

クリアするとゲームが終了する

I love this game

I love this game but seems to be an issue with latest update - when I complete a level the game stops

Original Ja - leider lieblos gemacht

Leider lassen die Entwickler keine Anstalten erkennen die üble Steuerung mal zeitgemäß upzudaten.

Die App ist sowas von vorgestern da nützt alles "Original Lode Runner" nichts.

Daher Finger weg von dieser Zombie App

Great game but…

Classic game from the 80’s…. If playing on iPhone expect to invent new cuss words.

懐かしく、良いゲーム

タップだとプレイし難いので、MFi認証のコントローラー(ROTOR RIOTのRR1852)を購入したが、このロードランナーは対応して無かった。
コントローラーでプレイ出来るようにして欲しいです。

Directional control not very good

Hard to move the little guy around accurately and end up dying a lot because can move the guy some times. It does play exactly how I remember with all the loopholes the chasers had with the original. If the directional controller was better this would be awesome!!! Mildly disappointed as I’ve been looking for this game for years. Played it all the time as a kid. Bummer this isn’t working very well for me.

Knifflig, spannend, nostalgisch

Ich habe damals LodeRunner noch auf dem ersten Apple Macintosh gespielt und bin begeistert von dieser Umsetzung. Auf aktuellen iPhones ist auch die Steuerung nach ein bisschen Eingewöhnung problemlos.

Controls work for me! And sweet nostalgia!

I saw several complaints about the controls in some of the reviews but they aren’t a problem for me! And I’m using an iPhone SE with a really small screen. Which is just to say, hours of nostalgic good times are on their way!

Better than the original

This was the best game I ever played on the iPhone. There are no ads, no in app purchases, and you are given unlimited lives to complete all levels. I never completed all the levels on my Commodore 64 back in 1984, but was able to in this game. Controls were hard at first, but I got used to them in time. We’ll worth the $2.99 I spent.

Not worth $2.99

UI is nowhere near authentic, gameplay feels remote by comparison.

Nexon’s LodeRunner1 is a much more enjoyable choice, and free.

Well done!

Finished the game. While touch controls are not optimal for a game like this I only really had issues with it on one of the last levels.
Loved it. More levels please !!

(Hi Scott and Sheila! Any more Tozai releases on the horizon? (Anders) )
