About This Game

What is RuneClick?

RuneClick is an RPG that lives on your desktop and levels up while you use your computer. A pixel art adventurer sits on top of your taskbar and reacts to your real keyboard, mouse and controller. Type an email, he chops a tree. Click through a spreadsheet, he mines ore. Walk away and he waits for you. No autoplay, no offline gains. Every level is earned, one keystroke at a time.

The Grind is Real

23 skills, and every one feeds another. Woodcutting fuels Firemaking, Fletching and Construction. Mining supplies the forge. Fishing and Farming stock the kitchen, Herblore turns herbs into potions, and Runecraft makes the runes you cast. Hunt creatures for hides and feathers, train with a coach, pick pockets, build furniture and bury bones at your own altar. Level cap is 99 per skill, and XP keeps counting after that.

Fight Back

Pick a style and go. Melee, with four stances that shape which stats you train. Ranged, with bows and crossbows firing arrows and bolts you fletched yourself. Magic, with 18 spells powered by runes you crafted. The combat triangle matters, so bring the right style to the right fight.

38 enemies, from chickens to dragons to the Abyssal Lord himself. Bosses change phases and weaknesses mid-fight. Slayer masters hand out tasks and unlock monsters that need the right gear to beat. The best loot waits at the top: the full Dragon armor set, the materials for Elder weapons, and five tiny boss pets.

Gear Up

Smith armor across six metal tiers from Bronze to Rune, then chase Black, Granite and Dragon from the monsters that carry them. Craft seven tiers of leather and hide for Ranged, with a buckler in the off hand. Stitch robes for Magic. Forge tools that gather faster, cut gems into jewelry with passive bonuses, and cook food and brew potions that give you an edge. Four gear presets swap you between skilling, melee, ranged and magic in one click.

New in 3.0: Hunt, Train, Enchant

Hunter adds 32 creatures to snare, net and trap across 8 hunting methods, from songbirds to sabre-cats to salamanders you can fight with. Agility puts you through drills with 8 coaches, from leg lifts to backflips, and earns Grace to spend on perks. Crossbows and enchanted bolts join Ranged. Spellcraft lets Magic enchant your jewelry and bolts and turn spare loot into gold. And every PC now holds three separate characters.

Every Level Counts

Hit 99 and the fireworks go off. A collection log tracks 500+ items to find, 98 achievements mark the milestones, and 26 Steam leaderboards show how you stack up against everyone else putting in the hours.

It Lives on Your Desktop

RuneClick isn't a window you switch to. It's a transparent overlay that sits on top of your taskbar while you work, browse or play other games. Click through it, drag it anywhere, scale it from 50% to 150%. It launches with Windows, saves automatically and never steals focus. It's a companion, not a distraction.
