Subatomic Studios has decided to bring their upgraded version of Fieldrunners to Android exclusively. This title will be called Fieldrunners HD and should land in the Android Market anytime now.

“Bringing Fieldrunners HD to Android is a great opportunity for us to reach out to a whole group of people that may have not had the chance to play our game yet,” says Leo Montenegro, Creative Director of Subatomic Studios. “We really wanted to craft an amazing experience for Android users, so we updated all of the artwork – everything is now in high definition – and we’re giving them a chance to grab the game for free, which is something we’ve never done before. So, I hope all you Android owners take this opportunity to pick up this fantastic Tower Defense game!”
