A fast-paced, brain-bending key-hold game. Test your coordination, memory, and endurance — how long can you press the right keys before it's all over?



🧠 About the Game

Hold to Live is a minimalist but brutal reaction game where your only goal is to hold the right combination of keys on your keyboard — and never let go.
You start simple: just press and hold SPACE. Easy.
But with every new "wave", you’ll need to hold more keys, swap one key for another, or keep track of subtle changes — all without letting go of the others.
⚠️ Let go of a required key, and it's game over.
✅ Hold the new key correctly within the time limit, and you'll survive another wave.
It’s a game of tension, split-second decision making, and dexterity under pressure
