Macenstein

Atomic Studios has just released Fieldrunners v1.2 with a slew of goodies sure to keep me too busy to update Macenstein for the next couple days.

New in v1.2 is a new “Drylands” canyon map, a new flying Fieldrunner (a P-47 Thunderbolt), a new icon, better autosave, and faster loading times. But the big news for Fieldrunners fans is the addition of two new towers!

First up is the Mortar Tower:

Mortar Tower: With a destructive payload and an explosive force, the mortar tower can obliterate entire areas of the field in a single devastating attack.

Next we have the Flame Tower:

Flame Tower: Capable of incinerating multiple fieldrunners in a single fiery swoop.

Sweeeeeet.

You can grab Fieldrunners from the iTunes store here .

[Update: Hmmm… looks like the update is not as cool as I hoped. The new weapons are only appearing on the crossroads map on my iPhone, and not at all on the iPod touch… Hopefully this is not intentional. It also seems to crash quite a bit, even after re-booting my iPhone. ]

[UPDATE 2: OK, I was wrong. You just need to beat classic mode and then play the game on “extended” or “endless” mode to see the new weapons. The price you pay for never reading the fine print…]
