There are games that surprise you and then there's Fieldrunners. Not only did this game bowl me over with its charm and addictive nature but it even came complete with an illustrious history. I took Fieldrunners, on Adam's suggestion, from the pile of indie games we had up for review and upon some cursory research found out that the game is in fact almost 4 years old. You see, this game first released on iOS back in October 2008 and then slowly found its way onto a number of other platforms before finally reaching PC where it is now available on Steam. So how does this 4-year old port stack-up?
Tower Defense wasn’t always the default genre on the App Store. In 2008, developers were struggling to find a fit for the iPhone’s large touchscreen, and ports of old JAVA and BREW mobile games just weren’t cutting it. Subatomic Studios was one of the first studios to publish a quality tower defense game on the App Store, and five years later, we’re still playing the Fieldrunners series.
Fieldrunners was an awesome game, but what about a version of Red Dead Redemption for iOS? am i the only one who thinks that awesome? :I
Chris Buffa (Modojo): It appears that developer Subatomic Studios has been busy, as the developer just announced big news for its Fieldrunners franchise that will definitely please fans and newcomers alike.
Humble Bundle for Android 3 made an astonishing $830,000 with the addition of 4 new games spurring on the sales.
Awesome! Hopefully this encourages more developers and publishers to let the customer set their own price.
