About

NEON HOLD

Features
Read full description

Most people break inside twenty seconds. Put your thumb on the glowing spot. Keep it there. That is the entire game, and it is harder than it sounds, because every second you hold is a second of unbroken attention and the grid spends all of them trying to take it back. The spot relocates and you have to slide fast. Near perfect decoys appear beside the real thing. GLITCH, a lying neon imp in increasingly desperate disguises, talks you into fatal mistakes. NOVA never lies. Telling those two apart with your run on the line is the whole skill. WHAT YOU GET One thumb, twenty levels, and a difficulty curve that keeps taking things away from you. Twenty atmospheres, each with a sunrise, daytime, sunset and night version, so a long run travels through a whole day. A live global leaderboard, plus a friends board you fill by sharing a code. An announcer with many voices calling your run out loud, and a synthwave soundtrack that builds as the grid heats up. Twenty achievements, plus six limited ones for Halloween 2026, with every requirement shown, so you always know what you are chasing. One free revive every 24 hours, and bonus revives for daily streaks. FAIR BY DESIGN Revives are capped at three per run for everyone, paying or not, so skill decides the leaderboard and money never does. Invite a friend with your code and you both get five revives. Ten rewards a week, and they reset every week. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNT. There is no sign up, and there is no third party analytics or advertising SDK anywhere in this app. Play on your own and nothing is sent to us at all: every level works with the network off. The global leaderboard is the one thing that sends anything, and it is opt in. Switch it on and it publishes a display name, a country flag and a best time, tied to a random id your phone makes on first launch, never to your Apple ID and never to an advertising identifier. Inviting a friend hands a code to the iOS share sheet, so we never see an address and never touch your contacts. You can erase all of it from inside the game, in one tap. Game Center is optional too. NEON HOLD never signs you in on its own, and you can stop it using Game Center at any time in Settings. Suitable for everyone, 4 and up. How long can you hold on?

Verdict

The call

Brain Riddle's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
