## What is Hold the Ridge?

Six days. One ridge. No retreat.

Hold the Ridge is a first-person coastal defense shooter built for your phone. Landing craft hit the beach wave after wave. You hold Ridge 112 with your rifle, your squad and two air strikes a day.

SIX DAYS, SIX SKIES
Dawn with the sun in your eyes, machine-gun nests at noon, landings on both flanks at dusk, fog you cannot see through, a night lit only by flares, and the final assault in a storm. Five waves each.

YOUR SQUAD
Reinforcements arrive day by day: a rifleman, a marksman, a machine gunner and one more rifleman. Deploy each of them from a top-down map. They patrol their zone, take cover and fire back. Patch up the wounded with your first-aid kit. Every day you win, the squad earns a rank.

AIR SUPPORT
When the beach turns into a flood, open the map and mark a zone. Two jets carpet it with bombs or a gunship sweeps it with rockets, and everything inside the ring goes down.

ARMORY
Six weapons: assault rifle, battle rifle, SMG, machine gun, shotgun and sniper rifle. Earn pay for every wave, buy what the next day demands, and upgrade the barrel, magazine and optic.

• Made for touch: move, aim, crouch, scope and reload with your thumbs
• Plays offline, no account needed
• English and Turkish, switch anytime in Settings
• Your progress stays on your phone

The game is free and shows ads. Most of them are rewards you choose to watch: get back into the fight, double a day's pay, an extra first-aid kit, try a weapon for a day, or one more air strike. A short ad may appear between days from day 3 on.
