They’ll pop up when you’re next to an enemy and by the time the ad is gone you’ll be dead. Otherwise the game is great for what it is ### 4/5 — Perfect Gameplay *2022-10-25, version 1.1.4* if they fixed sound issues i could give it a 5 star but when you change sound to 0 nothing changes. ### 4/5 — look i love the game but fix the audio settings *2021-12-09, version 1.1.4* if audio says 0 i shouldn’t gear anything ### 4/5 — Fun but.. *2021-04-15, version 1.1.4* Is it normal for your phone to heat up a whole lot when playing? My phone isn’t exactly old or anything but it seems to really heat up and drain the battery.. ### 5/5 — Best Mobile Game *2019-08-01, version 1.1.4* It has one of the best risk/reward type play styles with the risk of going back the the start after every death but after the constant grind it’s just a breeze getting back up then after the next boss it’s back to hard work and grinding. ### 5/5 — Fun little game! *2019-05-16, version 1.1.4* One of my absolute favourite mobile games of all time. I put it on every new phone I get. Great for killing minutes, minutes at a time 😎 ### 5/5 — Thoughts *2019-03-04, version 1.1.4* Love this game! I play all the time and look forward to my experience. I had an addiction that I thought would be cool; what if the sky (or monsters) would change based on real-time day or night? Just a thought. I love the game and suggest that anyone who loves side scrollers, RPGs, and play while away games, pick up this app. Thank you ### 5/5 — Great for the daily train rides *2019-02-13, version 1.1.4* Fun timekiller, finished one play through last week, a new game+ mode would be a welcome addition. ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-04-29, version 1.1.4* Wee ### 5/5 — Other reviewers *2017-11-20, version 1.1.4* So first someone said there needs to be a heal potion which there already is people complain about pay up you don't need it I never use pay up and I have all the money I need it is supposed to be a grinding game and it mite take patience in boss fights but it also matters your build if you have high vit then it will my build is high speed luck and power they almost never hit me and if they do I just do it again there is a way to upgrade pets once you have a pet if you get it again it levels your bet up ### 5/5 — Thank you devs! *2017-10-28, version 1.1.4* The minute quest app has been a game in my arsenal for years. the thousands of levels you climb truly make you feel good when you beat that extra hard boss. Thanks for making this game! ### 5/5 — So addicting *2017-07-31, version 1.1.4* I have been playing this for days and have not been able to put it down the game reels me in so much fun ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2017-07-02, version 1.1.4* I absolutely love this game I've spent so much time playing it and I seriously recommend this game of you enjoy straight forward games 👍🏽 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 5 STARS ONLY. THIS GAME IS GENERATIONS AHEAD OF ITS TIME *2021-09-01, version 1.1.4* I would like to thank every developer involved in the making of this mobile game. Thank you for saving me from my grade 8 English teacher, I appreciate all of your work. ### 1/5 — Crashing too much *2017-12-05, version 1.1.4* Needs an update. Using ipad mini 3 ### 2/5 — Would be good *2024-12-17, version 1.1.4* Won’t mute with headphones ### 2/5 — That’s it? *2022-11-18, version 1.1.4* You just hold right. Now, don’t get me wrong, that could work if the progression was engaging but as you go, the new weapons and armor are generally WORSE than just upgrading what you have. And don’t even get me started on the “pay up” button. I don’t understand the thought process behind this game. ### 2/5 — Used to be a good time-consuming game, but boring nonetheless *2015-06-19, version 1.1.2* I may have enjoyed this game then, but now, it's do repetitive and boring. Although it is better than some games, I got bored after playing it a lot. I know games are not really good material for long, this one really got all boring all of a sudden. For ex. Subway surfers is all the same thing all over again, but I would say that's 3 out of 5 stars because it at least updates on world tour and stuff. This used to be a game I'd spend time on even if here were other games. ### 3/5 — Good game *2024-11-19, version 1.1.4* Fun time waster but it keeps overheating my phone ### 3/5 — Needs work *2020-10-28, version 1.1.4* So I love this game the levelin GB system and everything is lovely but there needs to be more to this game besides holding the right of the screen and very rarely getting a house that give you a good weapon upgrade and armor upgrade . There should at least be better items in each stop compared to the items u have. Also one of the best things to bring to a game like this is great guild systems and rewards and leaderboards. Depending on how you want this game to progress but all I have to say to finish all of this is there at least has to be more to the game for people to want to go further and continue playing it. ### 3/5 — Bug *2018-04-05, version 1.1.4* Fun, but can’t turn tap sound off. Highly annoying. ### 3/5 — Great game *2016-11-01, version 1.1.4* But for some reason, ads would activate as if i pressed them even if i didn't press the screen at all. It gets annoying ### 3/5 — Great game, but.. *2015-06-22, version 1.1.2* Amazing game. Good for killing time. Play it on the bus tons. Only one let down and that's that it doesn't play nice with the music player. Pauses music if a button is pressed or you change rooms. Making it compatible with music would be an awesome addition to a great game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hidden Gem *2025-04-13, version 1.1.4* ‘Nuff said. ### 5/5 — I’ve been playing this since I saw it in a Vsauce video 10 years ago. *2024-03-13, version 1.1.4* I’ve been through so much with this game, end of High-school, College, and now with almost 6 years into my career. I’ve played this when I’ve had downtime through the years, airplanes, bus rides, doctor’s visits. It has always been consistently the best game to just pull up and play. It gives you the freedom to explore different skill progressions and tactics with armor and pets. I just really like this game, and a big thank you to the developer for making it. ### 5/5 — 30 minutes .. how!!? *2023-05-02* How in the world did someone beat the Global Leaderboard boss in 30 minutes!!!?!?!?! ### 5/5 — Dev support *2022-05-29, version 1.1.4* Is there still dev support? If so you should prolly add somethings since it has been like 6 years since the game has been updated for example like cloud save so we don’t gotta restart every time we get a new phone or add events … somethin but other than that pretty good time killer. v/r, Ty ### 5/5 — Can’t use Spotify while playing *2022-05-04, version 1.1.4* When I open the game it pauses my music, if I try to turn it on from control center I can, but doing anything in the game makes it stop. ### 5/5 — Literally like 6-7 years or so and I’m still playing this *2020-11-25, version 1.1.4* Got nothing to do? Waiting for like 5 minutes? Waiting for a single minute?? Quick hop on minute quest! But it gets boring quick right? Not really. Something so simplistic yet detailed gets you addicted. Everytime I delete the game off my phone I somehow end up searching the same exact game a month or so later. It’s almost always on my devices, from my nookHD something, to iPad, iPad mini, and iPhone. If there was a more detailed complex version for console or pc, id easily pay for it. The game is an easy way to kill time, like the developer. Mitsuhiro Okada, suggests. The game has many different dungeons and such with unique enemies. Multiple elements, buildings, pets, armor sets, weapons, and weapon types! The game really can be played with one finger. Don’t even need one hand. Though, quick tip, if you’re fighting a boss, try tapping instead of holding. It seems to work a lot better :] Years later, I still hope Mitsuhiro Okada will make more games like this I’ve enjoyed this one this most out of his Minute series, and I’ve enjoyed all of his other games. Thank you Mitsuhiro Okada for giving us such amazing titles that have filled us with time consumption! ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-10-15, version 1.1.4* Got a new phone download this game again it’s the perfect time waster just wish I could remove the ads ### 5/5 — Underrated *2020-06-13, version 1.1.4* No joke this is one of the best games I have ever played ### 5/5 — Good *2020-05-04, version 1.1.4* It’s really good, I just like everything in it ### 5/5 — A must-have game on all phones. *2019-10-05, version 1.1.4* I’ve been playing this game for years, and I love it. Every new phone I’ve gotten over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of redownloading this game and trying different builds. It’s a great game. The only thing I think should really be changed is it should be formatted to fix iPhone X screens and above (XS Max size too), and that’s about it. I’ve yet to see the end of this game, which means it’ll take a long time to beat. My only request is for a screen sizing change. Other than that, perfect game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
