## What is Nerve?

TEST YOUR NERVES IN THE ULTIMATE NEON CIRCLE-PACKING CHALLENGE 

Nerve - Circle Puzzle Arcade is an intense, high-stakes arcade puzzle game where precision timing and spatial strategy collide. Touch and hold to spawn and expand glowing neon circles on a dark canvas. The longer you hold, the larger the circle grows—and the higher your score multiplier! But beware: the moment you touch a wall or an existing circle, your circle bursts!

HIGH-RISK, HIGH-REWARD GAMEPLAY
Score is based directly on circle area—making bold, expansive plays immensely rewarding, but safe play visibly worthless. Can you hit the target board coverage percentage before running out of circles or time?

MULTIPLE GAME MODES
• ENDLESS ARCADE MODE: Push your limits across escalating difficulty levels. Manage tight circle budgets and strict countdown timers.
• STAGE CHALLENGE MODE: Master 30 handcrafted puzzle stages across 3 unique packs. Earn up to 3 stars per stage with target goals and strict placement constraints.
• TIME ATTACK BLITZ: Race against a 60-second clock! Score max coverage before time runs out.

POWER-UPS & COMBOS
• Collect game-changing power-ups: Time Freeze, Protective Shields, 2x Multipliers, and Mini-Bombs.
• Near-Miss System: Risk it all by releasing circles within millimeters of hazards for massive combo bonus points!
• Dodge static barriers and moving hazard circles patrolling the board.

IMMERSIVE CYBERPUNK AESTHETICS & AUDIO
• Vibrant high-contrast neon palette.
• Dynamic procedural Web Audio synthesized SFX and 3 BGM soundscapes: Synthwave, Ambient Lo-Fi, and Cyberpunk Darksynth.
• Tactile haptic feedback for every growth phase and impact.
