Half Minute Hero, I love you. Your fast-paced gameplay, laced with RPG satire and humor struck a chord with me, and wormed a way into my heart like it was a missing piece.
Your first thought about Half Minute Hero is likely something along the lines of "heh heh, Half Minute Hero. Sounds dirty." Well, 12 year old boy, you're a 12 year old boy. Our slightly more mature readers may think "How does a game that takes place in 30 second increments be lasting or varied? How could an RPG that plays in only 30 seconds be compelling?" Well, first off, the 30 second aspect really only refers to a recurring theme – you have to either finish your mission before a 30 second timer (that can be turned back in various ways) finishes, or in some modes, survive for 30 seconds."
