NERVE is a high-stakes arcade circle-packing mobile game where greed is rational and safe play is worthless. The core mechanic: Touch and hold anywhere on the screen to spawn and grow a glowing circle. The longer you hold, the faster it expands — but the moment you want a few more points is when it becomes hardest to control. Release to bank points (score equals circle area, so $2\times$ the width yields $4\times$ the points!). Touch a wall, obstacle, or previously placed circle, and it bursts
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I’m super excited to share NERVE, a high-stakes mobile arcade game I built with React Native and Reanimated 4.
The idea started with a simple question: What happens when scoring scales quadratically with area, but growth accelerates exponentially over time?
The result is a game that tests your reflexes, spatial judgement, and risk tolerance. Every hold feels like a game of chicken between pushing for a high score and losing your life to a sudden burst.
Why I think you'll love it:
Zero fluff: No pay-to-win, fast loading, instantaneous restart.
Dynamic Audio & Haptics: Designed to feel physical on your device.
30 Handcrafted Stages: Plus endless arcade mode and 60-second Blitz time attack.
I’d love to hear your feedback, highest scores, and any ideas for new stage mechanics! Thanks for checking it out! ⚡
