Fieldrunners update coming "very soon", includes new maps and more towers
One of my favorite iPhone games so far has been Fieldrunners, the relatively simple but incredibly enticing tower defense game. It has a high degree of polish, but sometimes feels like a bit empty with its four towers and two levels. I need more weapons with which to cream tiny, babe-like soldiers into adorable jelly!
I shot a quick email off to Jamie Gotch, Chief Technology Officer of developer Subatatomic Studios, who eased my fears with his response, promising the next update "very soon".
"If I were to guess a day," said Gotch, "I would predict that the release will go live a few days after the turn of the New Year, but a lot will depend on how well Apple can keep up with the developers' submissions during the holidays."
Right. But I want new towers.
Gotch continued, "Included in this new update will be a new map and more towers to help you devastate your enemies, as well as a few other surprises that you'll just have to wait to see."

Well, I sincerely hope that they ape Canyon Defence's weapon systems and maps a bit more, or atleast "move in that general direction." They are both so addictive for the same reason
Oh, Canyon defence is here http://www.miniclip.com/games/canyon-defense/en take a look at it guys, you may like it something special.

Either way they have a nice start. Hopefully we continue to see updates through Field Runners and not through a Field Runners 2.

I'm going nuts. Compulsively checking iTunes for the update for the last week...
In fact, I've checked it twice since I started this posting.

So need the update, only two levells just ain't challenging enough. Paid £2.99 for this game and feel as though I've been sold half a game, don't get me wrong the basis of this game is brilliant, just a little bit more time into more levels and weapons and this could be an all time classic.
