What's New in NEON HOLD

The biggest update since launch, and the grid has dressed up for it. HALLOWEEN ON THE GRID Until November 3 the arena, the spot and the sky wear Halloween. GLITCH comes as a pumpkin imp and NOVA carries a lantern, and NOVA still never lies. There is a haunted soundtrack and a new set of sounds to go with it. It switches on by itself. If you would rather hold the line in plain neon, it is one switch in Settings, and after Halloween it stays there as a skin you can turn back on whenever you like. The costumes change what things look like, not how they behave. Every decoy still gives itself away by its shape and its pulse, so a run is exactly as fair in a pumpkin patch as it is on the grid. Six limited Halloween achievements count until November 3. Finish one run and TRICK OR HOLD leaves wisps circling your thumb, yours to keep. There is a jack-o'-lantern app icon too, if you ask for it. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS CHALLENGE A FRIEND sends your time as a link that works for anyone. If they have the latest NEON HOLD, the game opens and your time is waiting on their rail before they even start. Beat a challenge and SEND IT BACK. The game over offers a share card when a run is worth sending: a new record, a friend overtaken, a challenge beaten, or GLITCH talking you off the spot. A KINDER GRID When a run ends, the game shows you what ended it, and RETRY is the first button. Your first few relocations show you where to go and give you a little extra time to get there, so the one rule that kills most new players (slide, don't lift) gets taught instead of just enforced. A phone call or Control Center no longer ends a run: it pauses, and you put your thumb back to carry on. EASIER TO READ, EASIER ON THE EYES Differentiate Without Color marks every decoy and the real spot by shape, not only by hue. Reduce Motion keeps a still marker on the real spot instead of a moving one. A red ring shows the moment your thumb starts to drift. Sound effects, music, the announcer's voice and haptics each have their own switch in Settings. AND Fixes and polish throughout. How long can you hold on?
