FIELDRUNNERS - YUNIZA KHOO

 Okay so this week - an Iphone game review.
Fieldrunners is a tower defense game.The objective is to get to the highest level possible by killing the enemy. How to stay alive?You have a certain number of lives and you have to try not to finish it up!Once you deplete your number of lives, game over.
How to defeat the enemy?Enemies will come in from the left and will try to exit to the right.
Your job is to shoot all of them down before they manage to exit.
You can shoot them down, fire them down, send missiles to bring them down or electrify them.
You can line your towers up strategically as enemies will come in waves.
Bringing them down at first is easy.
But the game progresses and the enemies will be harder to kill.

Buying/Upgrading your towers?
Okay so everytime you kill an enemy, your earn money.
And you need money to buy towers.
The better towers cost more, of course.
TowersThere are 4 types of towers:GatlingGooMissleLightning
When you upgrade these towers, their killing effect is more effective.You can sell them if you don't want them.  The good stuff?
1) Easy controls:
Needless to say, the touch-screen makes controlling the game easy.
It's all about touching and dragging the icons to the desired spot.
Navigating around the map is also easy.
You'll get the hang of the game pretty fast.

2) Aesthetics:
I find the game design cool.
We can relate to the whole army-theme easily.
All the graphics are coherent and works well with the setting.

3) Fun:
Everyone wants to destroy the enemy.
This game lets you do it.
Plus it's fun!
4) Level Design:
I find that good games let you advance gradually.
This game lets you do so by increasing the enemy's resistance slowly.
This enables you to adjust accordingly.
