## What is Hold Down the Button?

How long can you hold?
Hold the Button is a brutally simple, surprisingly addictive challenge. Tap and hold the star, then try to last longer than everyone else in your league. Let go for even a second and it’s over.

Compete in real time
Join live rounds with other players. See your rank move up and down as people drop out. Compare your time to the global distribution of all players.

Climb the leagues
Bronze, Silver, Gold and beyond – each run places you in a league based on your time. Track your rank, percentile, and players you beat after every attempt. Daily streaks reward you for coming back and playing again.

Earn and spend coins
Earn coins from every run based on how long you last. Use coins to unlock power-ups that give you an edge. Grab coin bundles (optional in-app purchase) to jump-start your progress and experiment with different strategies.

Unlock skins and achievements
Customize your button with fun skins and effects. Complete achievements like Baby Steps (10s), Half Minute Hero, The 60-Second King and more. Premium skins/effects are cosmetic items sold via in-app purchase; standard skins unlock with gameplay coins.

Built for quick sessions
One-handed, minimal UI – perfect for short breaks. No account required, no sign-up, just open the app and play. Optimized for modern iPhones with smooth animations and haptics.

Optional in-app purchases
• Coin bundles for faster progression
• Premium cosmetic skins/effects
• Power-up packs

Premium Membership (optional auto-renewing subscription)
• Unlocks all skins and removes ads
• 5X daily coin bonus and exclusive power-ups
• Priority support plus early access to new modes and events

Whether you’re killing a few minutes or grinding your way up the ranks, Hold the Button turns a simple press into a full-blown competition. How long can you last?
