📖 About This Game

In this quiet solo operation, numbers are your targets. You track them, release them, and capture them at the precise moment to form the perfect sum. Like a codebreaker or a disciplined hunter, you must remain calm and composed. Every turn is a step closer to mastery or a miscalculation waiting to happen. Hold, Release, Capture is a solo puzzle-style card game where players manipulate a small set of numbered cards (1-7) through three possible actions: hold, release, or capture. The goal is to capture a combination of cards whose total exactly matches a randomly assigned target number. The player must manage a limited "hand zone" and cycle cards strategically to reach the goal. As difficulty increases, the game introduces ranking levels to track progression, offering both immediate challenges and a sense of long-term growth.
