Hold is a game about doing nothing. Touch the screen. Don't let go. The longer you hold, the deeper the game becomes. There are no enemies. No score multipliers. No powerups. The only opponent is your own hand — and, eventually, your own mind. As you hold, the session evolves through different phases. Place a second finger and a second dot appears. Now two things must stay still. Add as many as you dare. Compete on Game Center: longest hold wins. Eight achievements mark the milestone. Hold is not a reaction game. Reflexes don't help. Only stillness does. How long can you be still?
