@justdaniel_here Yep, that's me! Ask away, happy to answer here.

Almost out of time? Hit the hero harder.
His blood buys back your seconds. One hit: +5.

@deckedgame No cap! You start with 10 minutes and can bank as much as you can earn (there's even an achievement for holding a full hour). The catch: stall too long on a level and the clock starts burning faster, up to 6x.

Puppet Strings: 30 seconds of my life for 8 seconds of a helpless hero.
Then the strings snap, and he hits back.

My army had 6 seconds left.
In The Offering Hour, time is your health bar. This is what happens at zero.

You play the demon. The heroes are the bosses.
They dodge.
And when you finally corner them - they awaken.

@torretagame The whole run! Your clock is your currency and your life. Summons, The Black Arts, merchants: everything costs seconds, and at zero the run ends. You earn time back by pushing heroes to new HP lows, so aggression keeps you alive. The menu second is just the smallest bill.

[MazeSteps @MazeSteps]

In my game, even opening the menu costs you 1 second.
Summons, spells, deals, everything is paid in time. And time is your life.

@aurosogames Reading is free! Spell descriptions live in the book, so you pay that one second to open it, and then the whole battle freezes. Read every spell, check every monster, take as long as you want. You can also browse The Black Arts at the Ember Altar in the main menu between runs.

@aistylebook Ha, thank you! That’s the whole idea: time is your only currency, so even a peek costs you. The upside: once the book is open, the whole battle freezes, so that one second buys you all the planning time you need.

[MazeSteps @MazeSteps]

@SastaBiswa Thank you! That's exactly the idea. Time is your only currency, so even stopping to plan is a choice you make.

[MazeSteps @MazeSteps]

@ThePinkRobot Haha, you'd survive 😄 It's 1 second to open the book, then the whole fight freezes, so you can tweak settings as long as you like. The main menu settings are completely free too.

[MazeSteps @MazeSteps]

@bigkeysmallhope Ha, the book is the shop window 😄 Opening it costs 1 second, but the whole fight pauses while it's open, so settings and everything else in there are free after that. From the main menu, settings cost nothing.

[MazeSteps @MazeSteps]

You have 3 seconds left.

Sacrifice three monsters. Become the demon.

The Offering Hour: a strategy-action roguelike where time is your only currency.

Out November 11 on Steam. Free demo available now.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked that feature. Adding color step-by-step was one of my favorite ideas too.

[MazeSteps @MazeSteps]

A gray pebble in 1-bit. Feed it comets and it becomes an ocean world, a star, a black hole, then a galaxy — and the screen gains color as you grow.

Solo idle game, Steam page just went live.

Ever wanted to play as the Demon Lord?
I’m making a Roguelite where you summon armies,
trade your lifespan, and possess monsters to join the melee yourself!
It's called 《The Offering Hour》.

The heroes called in reinforcements.
Then a bandit warband kicked the gate open.
Nobody in this arena is on your side.
Three-way brawls are coming to The Offering Hour. #indiegame #pixelartㅤㅤㅤ
