Press/Release is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the simplicity of button mashing. While we have an appreciation for button mashers, the idea behind Press/Release was to remove the veil of theming and make a game that was LITERALLY about the act of pressing, and releasing, a button. THE button simulator you’ve been dreaming of!
