Comments on Lode Runner Classic for Android

★★★★☆ Ken Weary · Aug 27, 2023
Yes the UI controls leave something to be desired and yes it can crash when you restart a level BUT, the game is very well ported. It is a ton of fun to play. The pros outweigh the cons easily. Please do Lode Runner 2 and 3.
★★★★☆ David Purser · Sep 24, 2015
Love game from Apple IIe days Would be a 5 star game if the Dpad was just 4 separate buttons where my thumb could clearly be on 1 at a time. I have dropped or dug in wrong spot too many times!
★★★★☆ dirtyneedles77 · May 26, 2024
I love the game. I remember playing this back in the 80s on an apple 2. All this needs is controller support.
★★★★☆ Jonathan Frame · May 23, 2019
Fun, not quite the same but fun. I played this game quite extensively back in the '80s on an Apple IIe. I have routes for several levels memorized, but they don't work for this game because the gameplay is different. Most noticeable is that the "bad guys" are slower. On the original, I could run over 3 bad guys if they fell into the blasted holes one right after the other, but it was really hard to do before the first one that fell in started getting back out. This makes the game easier, though.
★☆☆☆☆ Kevin S · May 13, 2020
Not pleased, especially after paying for one of my favorite childhood games. The controls on this are absolutely awful. The D Pad would be my preference, but you can't move left unless you keep your finger held down and spin left. You should be able to simply touch left, touch right. The other setup is awful. I want a refund if I can't enjoy this game.
★★☆☆☆ Demid Tishin · Feb 16, 2017
Lode Runner is a classic, but this version has totally crappy controls. Why use accelerometer (which is too imprecise for quick changes of direction), why emulate arrow keys / game pad on screen? This is touch screen, for god's sake! Let the player tap a spot for the character to run there!

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON FOOL’S GOLD
Play the authentic Lode Runner… this is the real deal!

AWARD WINNING GAMEPLAY
Lode Runner Classic combines the game play and all 150 levels of the award-winning Apple II original Lode Runner with graphics and features engineered for today's advanced smartphones. The game's frantic action takes place in maze-like, static levels, where a single player dodges enemies while running and climbing to reach and claim stacks of gold. No jumping is allowed. And shooting enemies is forbidden, but you can blast blocks to access lower platforms or trap pursuing enemies. Winding your way through ever-increasing levels of complexity makes for a superior challenge, but now you can choose to play any one of the 150 levels at any time.

EXCITING NEW FEATURES
Although the gameplay remains true to the original Apple II version, there are plenty of new features to enhance the experience. You can magnify the screen around the Runner, set the play speed, adjust the coloring of the art and compete for top spot on the worldwide leaderboard.

- Lode Runner Classic Features:
- 150 puzzling levels – all unlocked and accessible
- Two game modes – Expedition and Time Attack
- New magnification effect – zoom the action around the Runner
- Multiple play speeds – super slow to superfast action
- Fully adjustable color palettes
- Worldwide leaderboards
- Multiple control schemes
- Illustrated How to Play section
