About This Game

Zero to Hero: Pixel Idle RPG

A Father's Promise, A Son's Quest

I'm not a professional programmer. I'm a dad.

One day, my 8-year-old son came to me with a challenge: “Dad, can you make a game for me? One where I can find cool swords and fight monsters forever?”

I didn't know how to write a single line of code. But I couldn't say no.

Zero to Hero is the result of that promise. It is a love letter to the incremental and idle RPGs we played together. It wasn't built by a studio with a budget; it was built late at night, learning loop by loop, mistake by mistake, fueled by coffee and a child's imagination.

What started as a simple project for one boy has grown into a full-fledged idle adventure that I'm proud to share with you.

About The Game

Zero to Hero is a classic idle RPG stripped down to its most addictive elements: Loot, Progression, and big numbers.

You begin as a lowly Squire, armed with nothing but a rusty sword and a dream. Your goal? To ascend the ranks, become a Knight, and eventually claim the throne as King.

Key Features

  • True Idle Progression: Your hero fights automatically, gathering Gold, XP, and Materials even while you're away.

  • Deep Loot System: Hunt for Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and Celestial gear. Every item has randomized stats—find the perfect roll!

  • Strategic Prestige Layers:

    • Prestige: Reset your level to gain Prestige Points and permanent stat multipliers.

    • Become A Knight: A deeper reset that unlocks the Village, Skill Trees, and advanced mechanics.

    • Coronation: The ultimate ascension. Become King to unlock universe-bending multipliers.

  • Build Your Kingdom: Upgrade your Keep to boost your stats, automate clicks, and improve drop rates.

  • The Forge: Don't like your drop? Melt it down! Upgrade your equipment slots to permanently boost every item you equip.

  • Dynamic Soundtrack: Features an adaptive original soundtrack that shifts from cozy village vibes to epic orchestral battles as you progress.

  • No Pay-to-Win: This game was made for my son, not shareholders. There are no predatory microtransactions. Just pure, unadulterated progression.

Whether you have 5 minutes or 5 hours, there's always a new upgrade to buy, a new boss to slay, or a new tier of gear to unlock.

Start your journey. From Zero... to Hero.
