Your epic adventure begins... at the bottom of your screen (BoYS).
Desktop Heroes is a unique idle RPG designed to be your faithful companion while you work. Set just above your taskbar, this unobtrusive game runs in the background, letting you build a team of courageous heroes, battle monstrous foes, and collect loot; all without disrupting your productivity.
A Fantasy World on Your Desktop
As you type emails, write code, or browse spreadsheets, your party of four customizable heroes embarks on quests, defeats enemies, and gathers treasures in real-time. Watch your hero grow stronger while you focus on your daily tasks, or jump in to support when you're ready for a quick break.

Features:
🧙♂️ Four Iconic Classes: Lead a balanced party of a spell-slinging Wizard, a sword-wielding Warrior, a precise Hunter, and a stealthy Assassin.
⏳ Idle Gameplay, Active Rewards: Play passively or jump in anytime to claim rewards, upgrade gear, and make strategic decisions.
💼 Work-Friendly Design: Runs quietly at the bottom of your screen. No pop-ups, no distractions... just progress.
🗺️ Expanding Adventures: Unlock new regions, fight powerful bosses, and uncover secrets, even while answering emails.
🎨 Charming Pixel Art Style: A light and appealing visual design that complements your workspace, not competes with it.
Whether you're grinding through your to-do list or taking a five-minute coffee break, Desktop Heroes keeps the adventure going, one pixel-sized battle at a time.
Unique Features:
Thanks to Desktop Heroes' special Protect Mode, even if you share your entire screen during a meeting while playing a game, the people on the other end won't be able to see that you're playing. 😉
With Virtual Mode, if you need to click on an area behind the game at the bottom of your screen, you can continue working without having to close the game. And it's easy to read text behind the game or click on something!
We heard you.
Based on your feedback, we made the game more idle-friendly and added the ability to play with multiple heroes through sidekicks. By closely following community comments and suggestions, we also introduced many new improvements and refinements. This update is a direct result of that feedback loop.
Team Play and Sidekicks
Heroes do not form a fixed party. Instead, each hero can unlock the ability to summon one or two other unlocked heroes as sidekicks during gameplay. Sidekicks support the active hero rather than acting as full party members.
If a sidekick enters the Near Death state, they cannot continue fighting but continue to gain experience.
Near Death State
Heroes no longer die when their health reaches zero. Instead, they enter a Near Death state. They can still fight, but with reduced attack speed. Revive them to restore full effectiveness. Sidekicks in Near Death state are knocked out of combat but still earn experience.
Hold Craft Button
You can now craft multiple potions by holding the Craft button. Fewer clicks, more potions, less finger fatigue.
Agility, Defense, and Overall Balancing
Agility and Defense stats have been rebalanced to improve build diversity and combat pacing.
Level and experience gain have also been reworked. Early-game progression was too fast, while mid and late game progression became overly punishing. The curve is now smoother and more consistent across the entire game. More balancing passes are on the way.
Combat Improvements
Animation timings and combat delays have been revised to create more natural, readable, and varied combat flow.
Flee Option
If a boss fight is going badly, you can now use the Flee button to escape. Sometimes the smartest move is running away, but it has some costs. Fleeing will cause your character to lose 3 levels.
Upgrade Tab
A new Upgrade tab has been added as a central place to unlock and manage all upgrades. This includes hero skills, party and sidekick options, fairy upgrades, chests, and other progression features.
UI Improvements
Multiple interface improvements for better readability, clarity, and overall flow.
Map Restrictions Updated
Gold and Team Level requirements for unlocking maps have been removed. Maps are now unlocked only based on the current heros level.
You can no longer play on difficulties higher than your heros current level, ensuring a more consistent challenge curve.
Feedback is always valuable. Push the system. We will rebalance it.
Have fun!
