20 Second RPG
I present to you an RPG you can play in 20-second bursts. Pick a skill, play the mini-game, earn XP, level up, rank on the leaderboards, collect and fuse items and pets!
iOS USERS: I dont own an iOS of my own, if any bugs appear or things dont work correctly, please tell me what/how its broken, so i can get a fix going (I developed this on my android)
25 skills across 5 attributes:
Strength: forging, log chopping, boulder pushing, mining, shield wall.
Agility: lockpicking, knife throwing, sneaking, tightrope, juggling.
Arcana: spell tracing, mana channeling, alchemy, rune reading, familiars.
Spirit: parrying, fishing, field dressing, prayer, turn undead.
Presence: lute, rally, fanfare, intimidate, bluff.
Every skill is its own hand made mini-game. They use taps, drags, timing and tracing, not menu clicking.
5 boss fights: Stone Titan, Shadow Duelist, Arch-Magus, Lich King and Rival Bard.
Each boss has 5 tiers, from Tier 1 up to Apex.
Bosses hit harder unless you level up that category's skills.
Online leaderboards:
Boards for overall total, each category, each skill, and each boss tier.
Tap any player to see their full profile: every skill level and XP, plus boss kills by tier.
Leaderboards update every 30 minutes, if you log out within that 30 minutes, all saved data is logged into the leaderboards upon return
Touch or keyboard:
Built for phones, and it also plays on desktop, custom mappable keys for keyboard.
Small, quick and portable:
One HTML file, no install, and progress saves on your device and backs up online automatically every 2 minutes, theres also a manual save button in settings for those that don't trust auto save. Your player code (in Settings) restores it on any device, so write it down.
User-friendly:
Names are profanity filtered for the public boards (for the young ones), colour blindness filters in settings for those that need it!

AI disclosure:
This game was built by me (OneBoringDad) with the help of AI tools. I'm not a professional developer.
DeepSeek: used at the start to generate the basic foundation of the game's core code. I then changed and extended that code heavily myself before moving on.
Claude (Anthropic): used throughout the rest of development. It wrote a large amount of code at my direction, including the visual redesigns of the mini-games and boss fights, gameplay changes, features like the leaderboard profiles, and bug fixes. It also helped with things I don't understand and checked that my changes hadn't broken anything.
The game's design, ideas, feature choices, playtesting and direction are mine. I decided what to build, tested it and gave the feedback that shaped it.
