Read full description

Roll the dice and move forward on a dangerous board where every step matters. Each run is short, intense, and completely shaped by the decisions you make. This is a dynamic dice, board, and combat experience built around tactical choices and risk versus reward. Will you play it safe, or push your luck for a game-breaking build? CORE GAMEPLAY Roll the dice with a satisfying "Hold to Roll" mechanic. Move step by step across a fast-paced board. Face enemies, discover loot, and trigger unexpected events on every tile. TACTICAL COMBAT Every fight is a test of strategy. Choose between Attack, Guard, or Skill. Timing and resource management matter more than raw power. Read your enemy and strike! Even with bad dice luck, you can survive if you fight smart. PLAYSTYLE-CHANGING BUFFS Discover powerful, stackable buffs that completely alter how you play. Become a high-damage "Glass Cannon," a self-healing tank, or find your own unique combo. Every run offers different strategic possibilities. MEANINGFUL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Board Gems are your key to survival. Will you spend them in the Board Shop for instant stats, or save them for crucial Rerolls and Revives when things go wrong? PROGRESSION & UPGRADES Defeat tough bosses to earn special upgrade stones. Grow stronger between attempts and build your character permanently. Learn the board, master the combat, and conquer higher levels. DESIGNED FOR SHORT SESSIONS Each level offers a focused route with a limited number of turns. Perfect for quick but highly engaging play sessions. Every turn asks the same question: Do you play it safe, or take a risk for a greater reward? A short-session game for players who love dice rolling, board mechanics, deep combat choices, and roguelike strategy.

The elders say these walls have stood for 400 years. Sounds unlikely, but we say okay. Anyway… every life in this town is in your hands now. No pressure. Please Hold is a real-time tower defense game where arrows run out and the battle keeps moving. Train archers, musketeers and bombardiers while workers make and carry the ammunition that keeps them firing. Turn a handful of defenders into a wall full of firepower. Send swordsmen to meet the attack and medics to patch up the survivors. More troops, stronger weapons or faster supplies? Your next purchase could give a struggling defense room to breathe. Behind the wall, workshops keep producing and carriers keep running. Out front, the enemy keeps coming. They seem quite committed to this. Build, recruit and upgrade as the fight unfolds—and watch a fresh shipment get your archers firing again. Bring Heroes into the thick of it. Freeze enemies with the Ice Sorcerer, set explosive traps with the Sapper or send the Ninja leaping into battle. Choose their positions, develop their skills and time an ability for the moment your troops need it most. Face war elephants. Someone looked at your wall and decided an elephant was the answer. Hold out against endless waves of increasingly powerful enemies. Keep developing your Heroes across runs and see how long you can keep the wall standing. The next army is coming. Please Hold.
