Idle Hero

About

Idle Hero is a small prototype I've always wanted to make — and apparently, it's the first game I've made and shared with the public! You can play it while playing other games or doing work. There is a build in snooze button for that.

It's an incremental game made in 2 days. I was late to the 4-day jam, so I had to cut features such as the Market, the Dungeon, and an in-depth statistics panel. Therefore, reaching the the ending may be not that satisfying.

I may continue working on it, if it does well on the game jam.

So overall at its current stage, it is functional, but I had very limited time to test it and it may be a bit unbalanced at the moment. The numbers currently go up like this: K < M < B < T.

The game is missing some QoL to show what you need to unlock the next tier. It should be 10 from the previous tier and increasing +5 per row (so 15..20 etc.)

====================================

Original concept (not implemented):

You need to slay the Demon Lord, who is located on the final floor of the Dungeon.

You mainly earn gold by spending time at the Farm. Then, you can upgrade your character's stats in the Market. In the Dungeon — which should unlock when you reach level 5 (after around 30 minutes of playtime) — the main resource you gain is EXP rather than gold. The Dungeon is divided into floors where you can auto-battle various creatures. Every 10th floor features a boss that serves as a time sink or progression block. Each boss can be fought only once per life, until you roll your progress back through the prestige system. Some bosses may require a certain level, prestige rank, or a specific number of kills of previous bosses to maintain the grind.
