I just woke up to some of the best day starting news I’ve had in ages — FieldRunners 1.1 is now available on the iTunes App Store!

In case you somehow missed it, FieldRunners is a tower defense game for the iPhone/iPod Touch that we reviewed a few weeks back and gushed all over.  It’s still the go-to game on my Touch, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon — especially now that we have a new map, some new Runners, and an Endless mode!  Version 1.1 is essentially a free expansion pack rather than a simple bug fix like most +.1’s end up being.

If it’s good enough for Curt Schilling, it’s good enough for you — still only $4.99 on the App Store.  Hit the jump for the full list of additions;
