Im also thinking about an hourglass timer for 1v1 where you both start with a fixed amount of time (maybe 1 or 2 minutes) and it works like an hourglass, you gain time on your opponents turn and they gain time on your turn proportional,

[wheat mantle]

how'd that work though for the time increase like every second waisted they gain?

[pallid bramble]

Yes, so there's always exactly 2x the time

So if both players start with 2 minute's, there's always exactly 4 minutes in play (hourglass mode would not allow for increment)

[wheat mantle]

i love this current idea though a lot, it sounds a lot more fun!

[pallid bramble]

I thought of this as a response to stalling and to make stalling actively bad, as well as helping slower players still finish turns

Dynamic turn timers just pause the time where Increment here actually adds to the time right?

[pallid bramble]

Unsure how dynamic works but increment would add to the timer

I think having increment would allow for shorter timers to be played

[boreal idol]

Yeah.
Yes vote from me.

[pallid bramble]

I think even 10 or 15 seconds could work if there's increment as a hyper fast setting that you can still clean the board on

You can play 10s airship games where you actually end up having enough time, to clear the whole board since you gain time on every attack

[feral monolith]

Dynamic adds time (x.y seconds per mobile or pc user, unique to each)

Love this. In my mind a turn timer of 30 plus 1 per successful attack or a one minute time like now but a separate game timer as well like five minutes plus 15 seconds each turn. Closer to chess. I feel like people respond well and understand those things already. Probably a lot of work but would be cool for ranked. The fact that Luci already knows what’s up means they have some great thoughts on it. Also if done right does not matter if it’s mobile or pc. I could clean any board on mobile with 30 plus 1 for instance. And I am not special. Great path for the game the last updates I really enjoyed also.

Not sure why a turn timer would need to be 4 minutes. Just make it 60 seconds still but STILL have the fixed amount of total time.
