Idle Slayer
Incremental runner. iOS, Android, PC.
A side-scrolling runner where you jump and slash while the numbers keep climbing.
Our take
Idle Slayer swaps the fantasy RPG frame for a runner. Your character moves on their own; you jump, collect and slash, and upgrades stack up into ever larger numbers. It is the arcade cousin of the clicker family.
It suits players who want something to do with their thumbs while the progress bar grows.
