What Makes MinuteQuest Stand Out
"MinuteQuest" is a retro-styled, one-finger, time-killing RPG!
A 2D field where the only choice is to advance or die!
Kill fearsome enemies, crush immense bosses, level up, acquire riches, and collect ridiculous equipment whilst gradually advancing along the world towards your goal!
If you've got a bit of pesky time to kill, why not try it out?
Kill slime, kill time!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive been through so much with this game, end of High-school, College, and now with almost 6 years into our career. Ive played this when Ive had downtime through the years, airplanes, bus rides, doctors visits. It has always been consistently the best game to just pull up and play. It gives you the freedom to explore different skill progressions and tactics with armor and pets. We just really like this game, and a big thank you to the developer for making it.
How in the world did someone beat the Global Leaderboard boss in 30 minutes.
Is there still dev support? If so you should prolly add somethings since it has been like 6 years since the game has been updated for example like cloud save so we dont gotta restart every time we get a new phone or add events somethin but other than that pretty good time killer. V/r, Ty.
When we open the game it pauses our music, if we try to turn it on from control center we can, but doing anything in the game makes it stop.
Got nothing to do? Waiting for like 5 minutes? Waiting for a single minute?? Quick hop on minute quest! But it gets boring quick right? Not really. Something so simplistic yet detailed gets you addicted. Everytime we delete the game off our phone we somehow end up searching the same exact game a month or so later. Its almost always on our devices, from our nookHD something, to iPad, iPad mini, and iPhone. If there was a more detailed complex version for console or pc, id easily pay for it. The game is an easy way to kill time, like the developer. Mitsuhiro Okada, suggests. The game has many different dungeons and such with unique enemies. Multiple elements, buildings, pets, armor sets, weapons, and weapon types! The game really can be played with one finger. Dont even need one hand. Though, quick tip, if youre fighting a boss, try tapping instead of holding. It seems to work a lot better :] Years later, we still hope Mitsuhiro Okada will make more games like this Ive enjoyed this one this most out of his Minute series, and Ive enjoyed all of his other games. Thank you Mitsuhiro Okada for giving us such amazing titles that have filled us with time consumption.
Its really good, we just like everything in it.
Ive been playing this game for years, and we love it. Every new phone Ive gotten over the years, Ive had the pleasure of redownloading this game and trying different builds. Its a great game. The only thing we think should really be changed is it should be formatted to fix iPhone X screens and above (XS Max size too), and thats about it. Ive yet to see the end of this game, which means itll take a long time to beat. Our only request is for a screen sizing change. Other than that, perfect game.
Love this game! We play all the time and look forward to our experience. We had an addiction that we thought would be cool; what if the sky (or monsters) would change based on real-time day or night? Just a thought. We love the game and suggest that anyone who loves side scrollers, RPGs, and play while away games, pick up this app. Thank you.
So first someone said there needs to be a heal potion which there already is people complain about pay up you don't need it we never use pay up and we have all the money we need it is supposed to be a grinding game and it mite take patience in boss fights but it also matters your build if you have high vit then it will our build is high speed luck and power they almost never hit us and if they do we just do it again there is a way to upgrade pets once you have a pet if you get it again it levels your bet up.
The minute quest app has been a game in our arsenal for years. The thousands of levels you climb truly make you feel good when you beat that extra hard boss. Thanks for making this game.
We have been playing this for days and have not been able to put it down the game reels us in so much fun.
We really love this game, it's fun and addicting. The only problem we have with it is that you can't play your own music while playing the game but other than that it's great.
We couldn't ask for more and we've been looking for an rpg like this forever. Will keep you grinding away, and sad when you get near end game. Hopefully the Dev expands it.
We had it on our old phone at level 1890 and we will do it again but go past.
Very simple yet fun game, this got us through an 8 hour plane ride.
Hope to see this little gem polished even further.
Minute quest isn't always fun but sometimes it's just so addicting you cant stop playing even though it's boring at that moment.
Such a great concept and one of the best games we have ever played! It has had us addicted.
Really fun basic RPG to spend hours of time on! It's a great game for those grinding styled players.
This game is a wonderful app and we highly recommend it to anyone we own it on all our devices and we still have not beat it we grind and grind and still have a challenge and its awesome great game make more please.
So we were searching for a simple RPG. Let's face it, iOS is not meant for hardcore gaming and it's time to come to terms with that. You have to get creative! Enter Minute Quest. It is just about bashing foes, upgrading equipment, deciding what build to move forward with, wap wap wap!!! You need to check this out if you dig role playing games and need something simple to do it while you aren't in front of your traditional console or computer. Plays great on iPhone 6 Plus.
We like it, we play it during school during a broing lecture or when im bored and it keeps us entertained.
Fun, addicting game, just wish they upgraded the game to fit all the new phones screen sizes.
The game is great but the ads are obnoxious. Theyll pop up when youre next to an enemy and by the time the ad is gone youll be dead. Otherwise the game is great for what it is.
If they fixed sound issues we could give it a 5 star but when you change sound to 0 nothing changes.
If audio says 0 we shouldnt gear anything.
Is it normal for your phone to heat up a whole lot when playing? Our phone isnt exactly old or anything but it seems to really heat up and drain the battery.
We love this game, but we cant play music on our phone and play the game at the same time.
This game has been a long and grueling road for our adventurer. But because of recent success of our hero, the app just sends us to the app store every 5 or so seconds… So please beware and don't beat the boss at 23.5 km it is only sadness after that. (P.S. The wepons after that restart aswell rip in rinos).
This game is really fun… But you need to make it so you can transfer data between devices. You should allow facebook connection.
So we love this game the levelin GB system and everything is lovely but there needs to be more to this game besides holding the right of the screen and very rarely getting a house that give you a good weapon upgrade and armor upgrade . There should at least be better items in each stop compared to the items u have. Also one of the best things to bring to a game like this is great guild systems and rewards and leaderboards. Depending on how you want this game to progress but all we have to say to finish all of this is there at least has to be more to the game for people to want to go further and continue playing it.
You just hold right. Now, dont get us wrong, that could work if the progression was engaging but as you go, the new weapons and armor are generally WORSE than just upgrading what you have. And dont even get us started on the pay up button. We dont understand the thought process behind this game.
Needs an update. Using ipad mini 3.
This is the only game we can honestly say we play,along with your other games. We believe that the way the king pays you is very fair. Before the king didn't use to pay you and u had to grind for your coins which we enjoyed. If u want all those coins you have to earn them by clicking once per coin. This other reason doesn't affect game but we guess it's just us. The monsters do not keep up with your lvl as keep lvling up. They do get stronger don't get us wrong, but your lvl 1000 fighting a boss lvl 300 and it beats you just doesn't make sense.
Upon playing the game, you will find a "Pay Up button in the castle when you die. Of course the player feels obligated to tap this button for 1 gold each tap, after a while, he stops throwing the money. The game itself is just fine though.
But we had it on our iPad. Almost level 1000 and we can't transfer our data to our phone. /: our iPod screen is broke and we'd like to move it to our more mobile iPhone instead.
This game is completely deserving of a 5-star review, so we'll give it one. Pros: Easy to learn You can play for a few seconds or hours on end Very RPG, but with a CookieClicker-esque feel Fast travel: if you don't like grinding low levels, use the tunnel Bosses: The bosses provide a large challenge as well as a patience tester, and are placed very well. Cons: "Pay up" This is the biggest complaint we have. Many others have brought it up, so we won't reiterate No 'save' feature: If you set your device down for more than a few minutes, you are pushed back on your adventure Very linear gameplay No plot Features we want: A "Pay all" button for the King Better level up system for gear Pet interaction and leveling 'Dungeon' buildings along the path that give you a special weapon or armor or pet or item upon completion Forks in the road Finally, some kind of plot or story.
Game is great, but we're at level 23170 and we can't level anymore, have we maxed out.
This app has some ups and lefts. There's no cucumbers at all which is disappointing. But there are a lot if innocent pedestrians you can maul. It definitely does not take a minute and you don't really go on a quest more like some errands. But besides that, we'd bight into it again.
This game is amazing plz add 2 player our brother and we will be playing all day if u do thx luv it.
This game is really great and is fun when you are bored and have time to waste however, when you get further into the game you have to collect more money from the king. You have to collect each coin one by one by continuously hitting a button, which can take away from the enjoyment of gameplay. We also would like if the regeneration time was a little quicker because the full health things are pretty far from each other and they start costing more the further you get. Other than those minor details this is a very fun game that we have spent hours on.
This is a phenomenal game. Such simplicity, but so much fun. The 8'bit graphics make it seem like the old arcade games we used to play, but with a lot of modernity. An amazing RPG. We recommend to any person with an apple device. Such a good time waster, and easy to master. 5/5. Get it.
We love this game! It's such a simple game, but very time consuming. We highly recommend it.
Nah we naw thit nem haters be playin is game an we says now dis gam is te bes we ever play befoe. We likes the part when you touches teh write side of dem screen and you goes right. But heres de ketch, if yus tuch teh lift side of dem skreen den yus goes lift. De munser respuwn wen yu go out of de rom den go bak. Is good way to grind foe experence. We gives it 10-10 will take over your life.
Like out on the field :/ having to only be able to use one weapon choice making killing enemies difficult.
It's fun and addicting, we're hooked.
Probably one of tbe best apps on the app store.
We highly recommend this game to all our friends. We all play and have competitions of who can get to certain levels first ( we always win ). Most addictive game ever- while being simple and fun. No in-app purchases. No pop-up adds. Completely free. We don't see why you wouldn't get this game.
Simple game to pick up. Easy controls. Addictive. No annoying ads or in app purchases.
