RemparZ

The tower defense we played all night with friends. Online, each from home.

Learn alone or hold the line together: one castle, growing waves, and your friend's escaped enemies becoming your problem. The Android closed beta is open. A Google account and three minutes will get you into the garrison.

The idea

A vivid memory and a lasting frustration

This did not begin with market research. It began with Warcraft III tower-defense maps: whole days spent defending a road together, each with a section to hold and every breach to close as a team.

That feeling never really made it to phones. Mobile tower defense often makes you wait for strangers, blocks progress unless they join, or sells you a way out of a losing match. RemparZ takes another route: bring your own friend and let the game handle the rest.

Bring a friend

No matchmaking queue or strangers. Open a match, share a code and defend together. Only the people you invite can join.

Solo and duo each have their own mastery

Solo and duo have separate progression; neither is a lesser mode. The ability to start at a later stage benefits both.

A disconnection is not defeat

A tunnel, a lift, a router restarting: your place is held for two waves. This common frustration is a design starting point, not an extra.

Free solo, one purchase for duo

Install and play solo for free. A single purchase will unlock duo permanently: no subscription, ads or paid rescue from a losing match.

No open chat

Instead of open text chat, use map pings and translated game phrases. Players can coordinate without exposing anyone, especially children, to abuse.

A hands-on server in France

Matches run on self-hosted infrastructure in France, managed by the person making the game. No data resale and no advertising tracker.

Preview

A glimpse, not the whole game

The game changes every week, so these images may change too. Weather is randomized each match: sunshine, rain, snow and wind give the battlefield a different look.

A snowy road crowded with enemies and defended by watchtowers
A fixed road, a line of enemies and towers where they matter: the heart of the game.
The wooden fortress in snow, with player towers and an approaching horde
Snow, wave 7, 100 inhabitants out of 100: the fortress still stands.
The same front in a strong wind at sunset
The same front on a windy evening: the gentlest of the four weather conditions.
A shared Age V castle with two gates and two winding fronts
One map and one castle for two players, each defending a different side.

Development

Already playable. Not finished.

The game engine, duo matches and progression run daily; this is not a mock-up. The Android build is playable in closed beta. Mobile-network recovery, translations and tester feedback still need work.

No public release date will be announced until it is realistic. The game will go public when the beta has done its job. Testers receive each new build through the Play Store automatically.

The beta

Join the first garrison

With a Google account, installation takes about three minutes through the Play Store. Google's current closed-testing requirement is twelve testers over fourteen days; each sustained installation matters.

  1. Join the testers' group

    Use the Google account on your phone, the one connected to its Play Store. The group grants access and has no other purpose.

    Join the group
  2. Accept the test and install

    On the Play Store test page, choose to become a tester, then install as usual. Access may take a few minutes after step one.

    Open the test page
  3. Create your in-game account

    It takes about a minute with your phone's passkey; no password. Keep the game installed for at least fourteen days, and tell us what works or gets in the way.

No Android phone? You can also play in a browser, on a computer or phone: remparz.ifredz.ovh.

What happens to your information

Google sees your group membership and installation, as it does for other Play Store apps. iFredZ only reads the group's member list.

The game sends your chosen nickname, completed-match data and device information (model, display, frame rate) to improve balance and fix problems. No data resale, third-party transfer or advertising tracker. Details: privacy policy.

You can leave the group and uninstall at any time. Ask us to delete your game account at support@ifredz.ovh. Data deletion information (legal pages currently in French and English).

Why do I need a Google account?

The Android closed beta is distributed through the Google Play Store, which grants access to members of a Google group. Use the account linked to your phone.

Which phones are compatible?

Android 13 or newer on a 64-bit processor; 6 GB of memory is recommended. The Play Store only offers the game to compatible phones.

The closed beta is Android only. An iPhone version is neither promised nor scheduled. For now, you can play in a browser on a phone or computer.

The Play Store does not show me the game. What now?

Check that you joined the group with the Google account on your phone, then reopen the test page. Access can take a few minutes. If it still fails, email support@ifredz.ovh.
