Robo Defense for Android getting HD re-release, free beta version now available
Defensive about its looks
Avid Android strategists will know all about a little game called Robo Defense. While it’s a blatant Fieldrunners clone, we still felt moved to forgive it for two very important reasons.
First, Android is just about the only platform on this earth that hasn’t seen a version of Subatomic Studios’s famed original. Second, as copies go, Robo Defense is really rather good.
Of course, despite its subtle twists on the Fieldrunners formula, Robo Defense isn’t exactly the best looking game on the Android Market – especially when viewed in the unforgiving glare of a newer device. Lupis Labs Software is looking to address that.
Robo Defense HD is in the works, promising to add graphics far more befitting the world’s leading smartphone platform. As you can see from the screenshot, it’s still not likely to win any awards for its looks, but the new HD lick of paint is certainly a big improvement.
You can download a limited beta version right now, if you’re quick. This free version presents just the one map with 11 difficulty levels, so it’s really just a taster meant for testing out handset compatibility ahead of the game’s release.
Why not give it a whirl?
