About this game

Welcome to Idle Runner — a fast-paced idle RPG where your wizard fights automatically while you master the art of upgrades and strategy!

YOUR WIZARD FIGHTS ALONE
Your hero auto-runs, auto-shoots, and auto-battles through endless waves of enemies. Your job? Spend wisely on upgrades to make them unstoppable. Unlock Auto Shoot, boost Bullet Damage, and discover powerful abilities to dominate the battlefield.

TRUE BACKGROUND PLAY
Unlike most idle games, Idle Runner runs fully in the background. Minimize the app, lock your phone, switch to another app — your hero continues battling, earning coins, and progressing through waves in real time. No need to keep the screen on. Get a notification when your hero falls and jump right back in.

WAVE-BASED COMBAT
Survive increasingly difficult waves of enemies. Goblins, trolls, knights, vampires, necromancers, and massive bosses every 10 waves. Each enemy type has unique abilities and attack patterns. How far can you push?

DEEP UPGRADE SYSTEMS
• Temporary boosts — spend leafs during each run, reset on death
• Permanent upgrades — invest coins in the Workshop, keep them forever
• Ascension — push beyond max level for permanent percentage bonuses

6 UNIQUE WORLDS

COMPANIONS & COSMETICS
Collect animated companions that fight alongside your wizard and gain XP from every wave survived. Unlock hero skins with unique visual styles. Each companion and skin grants bonus rewards.
