Lode Runner Classic App Reviews

This was the best game I ever played on the iPhone. There are no ads, no in app purchases, and you are given unlimited lives to complete all levels. I never completed all the levels on my Commodore 64 back in 1984, but was able to in this game. Controls were hard at first, but I got used to them in time. We’ll worth the $2.99 I spent.

I saw several complaints about the controls in some of the reviews but they aren’t a problem for me! And I’m using an iPhone SE with a really small screen. Which is just to say, hours of nostalgic good times are on their way!

The game is fun but the controls can stick. It gets annoying when you lose a life over lag in the game.

Awesome classic game. Controls are a but flakey. Maybe slide your finger in the direction you wanna go for the d-pad. Would really love to see icade support!

Is true to the original and I really enjoy that I can adjust the game speed to my liking.

This sure brings back memories of hours spent on my Macintosh in the 80's. The game is very playable using the D-pad... now if I can only get past level 109! Thank you for bringing it back.

Started playing this bad boy and memories flooded in of a mini-me in front of and old Macintosh computer hunkered down in my fathers office in Sacramento, CA. I would love to see this on the iPad.

But can you make it full screen for the iphone5?

My son told me reviews were terrible and not to buy. I waited 30 years to play and have enjoyed myself. If I can operate the controls, anyone can. I am a tech dummy.

I love Lode Runner! Controls are great. I use Touch control. It works best for me.

Saw that Douglas Smith passed on Sept 7th, did a search and found this game. It is extremely well done. Keep improving it, y'all rock! Cheers

Just as I remembered it. Sure, not using keyboard, but the "D" pad works fine. Love the game and am so happy it is on the iPad. Thanks!! ps: the price is well worth the play. 150 levels.

Lode runner was one of the best games computer games from the 80s combining arcade play along with puzzle solving. Glad to see this version that's as fun to play as the original was 30 years ago.

Brings back classic game but controls need improvement. I remember playing this on Apple computer which took my time away from Louzy DOS PC hehe

This game is exactly like the original I used to play as a kid. One problem is level 64 is currently impossible to pass because the board is missing a small rope. There might be 150 available levels but only the first 63 are passable.

Iphone 5 set music to on but no music in game.

Just love this game. Really brings back memories of the Apple II :-)

Never played Lode Runner before. But I love the gameplay, aside from some rough controls, solid port.

Wondering if this game is available for OS X. While the mobile (iOS) version is convenient I find it difficult to play. Would much rather play on the bigger screen of my Mac.

Graphics and levels are just like I remember! Controls really bog it down. I uninstalled after level 11 where you really need a pad or joystick to have the feel needed to play effectively. Also, no way to disable sound?

I played this game on my computer as a kid and loved playing it again on my phone!

App ran great on my iPad 2 Air. After install, it crashed every time! I deleted the app and reinstalled it fixing the problem but losing my history/achievements.

UI is nowhere near authentic, gameplay feels remote by comparison. Nexon’s LodeRunner1 is a much more enjoyable choice, and free.

Love this classic game but the controls are horrible. You have to be incredibly precise and constantly keep your eyes on the controls in order to play the game successfully. Then the buttons to shoot at the ground are finicky. Don't always work. It's really frustrating. Pushed through the irritating controls though and level 64 is unbeatable! Ugh! Someone fix this game...

Am a fan of Load Runner, but the controls make it impossible to play. Constant miscues with the thumb controls causes a lot of untimely deaths in the game. Bought it, just deleted it ... Unfortunate.

Hard to move the little guy around accurately and end up dying a lot because can move the guy some times. It does play exactly how I remember with all the loopholes the chasers had with the original. If the directional controller was better this would be awesome!!! Mildly disappointed as I’ve been looking for this game for years. Played it all the time as a kid. Bummer this isn’t working very well for me.
