HOLD is a fast, minimalist arcade game about movement, timing, and surviving one more second.

Drag left and right to guide your craft through an endless flow of obstacles. Press and hold the play area to slow time, but watch your Time Energy: every second you spend in slow motion matters.

Take risks, skim past obstacles, and build your Flow. Near misses add bonus distance, increase your combo, and restore Time Energy. Collect coins during each run, unlock new craft colors, complete daily goals, and keep pushing your best score higher.

Current build
