Hold. Grow. Let go in time.
An iPhone game published on the App Store as Nerve. The rule takes one line: touch and hold to grow a glowing circle, and let go before it touches a wall or another circle. Score is the area of what survives, so playing safe is worth almost nothing and the last millimetre is worth everything. Three modes, thirty handmade stages, power-ups when the board gets tight, and a neon look with three soundtracks behind it.
