## Description

**Hold them!** is a unique medieval-themed Chrome extension game where players use their smartphone's accelerometer to carefully balance precious crystals on a wooden board. Set in the Middle Ages, the challenge intensifies as the board becomes steeper the longer you hold out, and dropping all three crystals means you lose.

With **20 diverse skins** featuring rare stones, intriguing items, and even quirky additions like Skibidi Toilet, the game offers a fun customization element. Players earn coins by playing to unlock these skins and must navigate helpful and hindering bonuses falling from above. Rumored to be one of the most expensive games in its category, Hold them! combines skill, strategy, and entertainment in a charming medieval setting.
