About HoldFrame

HoldFrame is a neon build-and-survive arena where every night tests your ability to defend a glowing core from escalating enemy waves. Free-roam the arena and manually aim your craft, then spend dawn building up your ring defenses before the next assault hits harder.

How to Play HoldFrame

Your craft auto-fires in whatever direction it faces, so movement is the primary weapon — steer into threats to blast them. Keep the core alive; once its health reaches zero, the run ends. Every enemy kill earns energy.

Build Phase at Dawn

When dawn arrives, tap a glowing slot on the synergy ring to place a Turret, which auto-fires at enemies, or a Wall, which acts as a tanky shield. Placing pieces side by side triggers CROSSFIRE and BULWARK synergy combos. Filling an entire ring earns a FORMATION bonus. Then the next, harder night begins.

Controls

FAQ

How do CROSSFIRE, BULWARK, and FORMATION combos work?

Placing ring pieces next to each other triggers CROSSFIRE or BULWARK synergy bonuses. Filling a complete ring activates a FORMATION, the highest-tier combo available.

What ends a run in HoldFrame?

The run ends the moment the core's health drops to zero. Keeping the core alive across as many nights as possible is the central goal.

What's the difference between a Turret and a Wall on the ring?

A Turret auto-fires at incoming enemies, while a Wall acts as a tanky shield. Both can be placed on glowing ring slots during the dawn phase using energy earned from kills.
