Field notes
The page describes a battlefield where tower placement and palisades redirect enemies, drawing on classic custom-map play. It lists five tower lines, each with three tiers and two specializations, alongside three heroes that gain levels in battle and can be player-controlled or set to autopilot. A separate daily trial is described as identical for all players, with Game Center leaderboards for comparison; the beta instructions point to Apple's TestFlight.
