Worms had a pretty good way of punishing slow matches. For those who don't know, Worms is a 2-D turn-based strategy game where you control a team of little cartoon worms, and attempt to kill the other team with interesting (and often funny) weapons like the Holy Hand Grenade. Anyway, in most of the games in the franchise, going past the designated time limit will trigger the water level to rise a little with every turn. Every level has water at the bottom of it, and any worm that falls in is instantly killed. Late in a fight, most of the land had likely been destroyed, and players will be struggling to keep their worms on whatever land remains. This may or may not come with the health of all worms dropping to 1, while certain death slowly approaches. To make things worse, the game always makes some little joke about the worm that drowned. (The worm's name) sank like the Titanic. (The worm's name) is sleeping with the fishes. (The worm's name) tried to breathe water. You get the idea.

That one health bar fighting game idea isn't bad. You just need a gradually escalating damage multiplier, that's all. Everything does more damage as the timer goes on. Basically a gradually fading-in form of one hit decider. The butt bandits can still come out and fart away the match if nobody's doing anything for too long, though. But they should be punishing tentative overcaution, not genuine back and forth action. This would solve that.

[@SamJ.J.]

Or have a health bar with an odd number of hitpoints that decreases by 2 every so often, with the extra hitpoint going to whoever lands the first blow. That way there'll never be a stalemate so long as one person gets at least one hit.

[@LavenderKitsunes]

Yo-kai Watch also has something like this! If you mess around with side quests for too long and don’t progress in the main story, Terror Time will happen (aka the world gets all dark and a giant overpowered demon chases you around). It usually only happens at night, but procrastinating for too long will cause it too.

I remember an arcade game that was everywhere in the '80s in the US, a side-scrolling space fighter game with a bewildering array of buttons... I once played a similar game on an early PC. Being too young to figure it out, I discovered that if I never moved the space fighter, tiny 4-pixel dots would eventually move slowly toward the fighter. They were lethal on contact and dodged everything you threw at them. Because you're supposed to fly toward the right edge of the screen and the rest of the level, like in Zero Wing.

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale has the Will-o'-Wisps. If you spend too long on any floor of a dungeon, they spawn in and chase you down until you make it to the exit, and getting hit by one does a LOT of damage. The difference between them and most of the other examples on this list is that they can actually be fought and killed--and they drop an item that you need for certain crafting recipes! There's an infinite number of them, though, and the longer you stick around, the stronger they get, so it's only a matter of time before they wear you down...

Begore that was also that Lucy's spirit. When i saw that and the jiggle gang i had to rewatch the video to make sure i didn't miss if its fairy tail game or not

[@Sonlirain]

Here's 2 more: In Deep Rock Galactic point extraction missions the more time you spend in the level the stronger and more often enemy hordes will spawn. 30 minutes in it's pretty much a constant stream of enemies. In Raid on Bungeling Bay (The Commodore 64 version because i never saw this feature work in the NES version) the enemy is building a battleship that will sink your carrier and shoot at you with homing missiles (making the mission way way WAY more difficult) but it's possible to bomb it while its still under construction to prevent it from ruining your day.

7:59 I’d say this was the worst punishment a game could throw at you for sticking around too long.

[@KR15nAK]

How can you not at least honorably mention Bubble Bobble when it comes to procrastinating? Enemies get angry and go berserk, then a ghost appears to kill you, and only gets faster the longer you avoid it. Like wickedly fast

[@RagnarokReload]

no mention of the reaper in Persona? esp in Persona 5 when you wait for 5 whole minutes in Mementos

[@bendurbin9585]

You forgot to mention that in Spelunky html5/classic, the ghost is much faster and disappears if you are farther away from it. Also, it does 100 damage

[@Chromefall]

also like to add in a version of Ace Combat X’s final mission, you need to be fast or else a microwave plasma ball thing cooks your jet and makes it explode

[@LordOfHades]

Persona 3 and Persona 5: Loitering on a single floor of Tartarus or Mementos for too long will spawn one of the strongest bosses in either game - The Reaper.

Shoulda done this with persona 4 as well, where you had to open 21 treasure boxes and then open a treasure box with a shadow in it. And if it didn't have one, it RESETS. Makes it effing tedious getting everyone's ultimate weapons

[@300IQPrower]

I know this is gonna make me sound like a “the old games were better” hipster but genuinely newer games ruin the Reaper. In 3 he actually feels like Death itself is on your heels at all times as you had the PERFECT amount of time before he appeared and the fact that you genuinely felt more DREAD than reward over a treasure floor was intense as hell. Then 4 made him nonexistent and even if you went to the extreme lengths to draw him out he was a far far far easier fight, pretty much laughably so, and then P5 seriously upped the time for him to appear and even then lets you just cheese him

[@lordsidius99]

No mention of *The Reaper* from the Persona series? Notably, Persona 3, where I'm pretty sure it terrified the hell out of everyone who played the game.

You missed robotica. If you cant get through a level, which are labrynthian as is in a certain time frame, the level would send out swarms of "sweepers" that would home in on your location, and kill you. Upon dying you're presented with the only time you ever see your face; in a pretty horrifying state; showing your lifr support has begun to fail. Considering it was one of the more rare titles for the sega saturn, its easy to miss; but also a horrifying way to go out for taking too long.

Nothing about Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion? When you are idle in a room for too long, Specimen 9 chases you and issues an instant game over.

Reminds me of Magicite, where the game would summon not one but two enemies named “the Scourge” who were insta-kill and nigh invincible enemies that forced you to get out of the district and fight the Scourge later. The reason there’s two of them is because you could easily dodge one of them and because two enemies will scare you more.
