What it is

Press the button. Hold the button. That's it. That's the game.

Grip Time is a deliberately minimal iPhone game: one button, a timer, and a global leaderboard. There are no menus and no tutorials — double-tap for the leaderboard, triple-tap for the store. Holding longer unlocks buttons, backgrounds, and music. Players can forge a one-of-a-kind Buddy Button and send it to a friend with a link, no account needed. There are no ads, and at least one secret.
