New Highly Addictive Tower Defense Game ‘Fieldrunners’ for the iPhone
Fieldrunners (AppStore) by Subatomic Studios is the latest Tower Defense game in the App Store, priced at $4.99.
TD games are all about making sure the enemy doesn’t reach the exit, to stop them from reaching the exit players must place towers along the enemy’s path in order to eliminate them.
The fun comes from the challenge of facing a variety of enemies, which possess different strengths and weaknesses. You’ll spend hours experimenting with different tower configurations, looking for the one that helps you last the longest.
Fieldrunners is by far the best looking TD game I’ve seen on the iPhone, for such a polished game I was surprised it didn’t have sound, the developer did indicate this will be added in future updates.
In Fieldrunners players will have access to four tower types.
- Gatling Tower: Great tower for quickly constructing defenses. Dirt cheap and surprisingly powerful. What this tower lacks in range it makes up for in its low price and damage.
- Goo Tower: This tower is a must for those sticky situations when you need to slow a fieldrunner down. This tower reduces enemy movement rate and the effect increases with each upgrade.
- Missile Tower: A great defense against air units. The missile tower’s explosive damage hits multiple targets at once. This tower has a very long range.
- Lightning Tower: An ultimate weapon of devastation. This tower fires a single bolt of lightning that incinerates most fieldrunners in seconds.

Wow you guys all suck im at grassland 1006 easy no cheating at all
I got to level 349 and died on easy mode. Anyone get higher than that?
My record on easy for the grass map is 385 so far it gets insanely hard
Whoops. I’m on wave 250… not 270. Sorry.
I was trying find out how high the highest level that has been reached was. I am on wave 270 right now with 17 lives left. I had 20 lives up until 269 and 3 choppers got by. Anyway, I know once you get past 200 it starts getting pretty rowdy and alot of juggling has to happen. I would appreciate it if anybody can post their highest wave or e-mail me. I just want to know if I’m on my way to breaking any records. LOL. Thanks.
Btw you may notice that juggling costs you lots of points.
I’ve lost twice on level 99, hard mode, crossroads, no juggling. Argh! I do a left to right maze. I don’t do many missiles. Guns and goo at first, with my first tesla at about level 40. About 6 cars get by me each game but most are choppers. Maybe if I juggle out those 6 I can do it…
Very time consuming.
As an aside, I wouldn’t hazard to guess if this is as far as a person could get in the game, maybe a different strategy would have worked better, maybe 1 goo to 2 lightning towers instead of 1 to 1, but since this took about 3 or 4 hours to complete, I don’t think Ill be trying it again! I hope to hear someone has beaten it in the future though. Best of luck!
Well, in response to Kevin’s comments I got to level 189 on easy. I basically had 4 rows of alternating lightening and goo towers in the center of the field from 3 slots back from the opening doorway to 1 slot from the entry to the base. All towers were leveled up. That created a center rectangle that was hard on the helicopters while allowing me to use the “juggling” strategy. Then on level 185 I sold off a bunch of towers near the front when the helicopters had past the point that those towers could reach them and put an additional two lightening towers in the last slot before the door. This left me 1 life left that I was able to milk until the next round of helicopters, which destroyed me.
