Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I am the solo developer behind Holdout and the founder of 1608 Studios — a one person indie studio I built around a single idea: what if your body was the controller? I got tired of every mobile shooter putting a joystick on the screen and calling it done. Smartphones have had gyroscopes for years and almost nobody in casual gaming is using them as a primary control input. That felt like an opportunity worth chasing. Holdout is my first game and my opening argument. You physically rotate your body to aim — no joysticks, no swipe controls. Just you, your device, and incoming humanoids closing in from all directions. A few things I would love your feedback on: Does the physical movement mechanic feel intuitive within the first 30 seconds? Does the simulation aesthetic land the way it is intended? What would make you keep coming back for another round? Holdout is free on iOS and coming soon on Android. I would genuinely love for this community to be among the first to play it and tell me what they think. Thank you for having me here. 🎯
