Subatomic Studios has announced that they will be putting out an iPad-specific version of the award-winning towe defense game Fieldrunners, and you don’t even have to wait a week until it hits the App Store.

The game, rechristened Fieldrunners for the iPad, will be one of the Apple device’s launch titles. It’ll be available on the App Store on April 3, same as the iPad’s release date. The price has been set at US$ 7.99.

“We have chosen to name it Fieldrunners for the iPad for a simple reason,” said Leo Montenegro, Creative Director of Subatomic Studios. “New features have been crafted to take full advantage of the iPad platform. It is not just another HD game port.

“You will still get to enjoy the same awesome game-with more fantastic graphics than ever-but we are adding new features that are game-changing, things that could not have been done on the iPhone.”

Here’s what you can expect:

• Awesome visual style with high-definition graphics
• Highly balanced, addictive and fun gameplay
• New, spectacular visual effects
• Music wonderfully themed to each environment
• New but intuitive interface elements
• All of the latest maps, fieldrunners, and towers

Future DLC has also been confirmed for the game’s iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad versions.
