Hold the button. That's it. That's the game. The longer you hold, the bigger your numbers get. Grip Time is every second you've ever held, added up. Best Grip is the longest you've ever lasted in a single hold — no pauses. Somewhere on a global leaderboard, other people are holding right now. Some of them are frighteningly good at it. Let go whenever you like. The leaderboard will remember. WHAT GROWS WHILE YOU HOLD • Two stats: Grip Time and Best Grip, each with its own worldwide leaderboard • Buttons, backgrounds, and music that unlock as your numbers climb — some are earned, some are found, and we won't say which is which • Grip Buddies: forge a one-of-a-kind button that exists nowhere else on Earth, then give it to exactly the people you choose • The deep end: what unlocks past the 24-hour mark is between you and your thumb THINGS WE BELIEVE • No ads. Ever. • Anything worth doing right, dog If you're in a hurry, there are optional multiplier boosts and Grip Time Gold, a subscription with a solid gold button, a molten gold sky, exclusive music, and an always-on 2x. The game is complete without them. The leaderboard doesn't check your receipts. There are also secrets. IT'S GRIP TIME, BABY!
