Not for iPad
     
by Wizard1703 · November 7, 2024

They make a game that can’t play on a new iPad or iPad Pro, even when it’s named that it’s for an iPad. The game is only visible on part of the screen. All controls are visually off screen with no way to resize the game to fit the screen. Love the original, this was a waste of money and time.

Love the game. Please fix the text overflow
     
by 86smopuiM · July 29, 2024

Either due to more recent versions of the iPad or iOS, all the text in this game is huge and overflowing in many places making it impossible to read. It's still a great game, I hope they can fix this

I racked my brain to remember this game and I’m having so much fun replaying it. Only thing is, I would love a big fixes update!

Doesn’t scale to iPad Air
     
by Rottensalad · January 30, 2025

Loved this game back in the day and was super excited to get it on iPad. I paid 4.99 to be able to play on my new iPad Air but it doesn’t scale properly at all. Extremely disappointed.

Not playable on pro m4
     
by Dubsteporstfu · July 27, 2024

Everything is zoomed all words are overtop of each other. Do not buy

worse than regular fieldrunners for IPad
     
by ansel4 · May 28, 2026

This app scales terribly. it makes text and objects way larger than they should be.

Horrible layout. Unplayable
     
by Bilzmoude · October 4, 2025

I love the phone version. I played the phone version on the iPad and it was clearly just the phone version upscaled. Then I saw that there is an iPad version so I purchased that. It is horrible. All the fonts and sprites are all too big and overlap each other. It makes it unplayable. Completely wasted $5 and will just keep playing the upscaled phone version.

Doesn’t fit on iPad screen
     
by Turdle16780 · April 26, 2026

So I loved the first game. One of my favorite tower defense games of all time. Oddly enough the free version of this game actually functions better than the paid one. All of the text overlaps on my iPad. I’ve never had a game from Apple Store do that before. The free version sizes it to fit but shows part of the apple toolbar at the bottom. 1 star because I paid for it and it’s totally defective. I’ll have to ask for a refund
