Freeware Game Pick: 30 Second Hero (UUE)
30 Second Hero is an action RPG which consists of really short battles that require no interaction, as players race against the clock to save the kingdom from an evil wizard's wrath. As indicated by the title, you only have thirty seconds to level up your character sufficiently for the final battle, although additional time can be bought from the castle at the cost of a hundred gold pieces per increment of ten seconds. Health can also be replenished for a small sum of ten gold pieces, and there are several equipment that are on sale from the same buy screen as well.
The game is currently being remade into a PSP title called Yuusha 30.

Any possibility of an english patch for this? It looks really fun.

Here's a rough translation, I don't know how to make patches though.
Start screen
Rules:
Defeat the evil wizard within 30 seconds.
How to play:
Movement - Arrow Keys
Select - Enter/Space or Z
Castle/Shop menu:
(text: "You enter the castle!")
Rest
Buy Headgear
Buy Dragon Armour
Buy Dragon Lance
Return 10 seconds
Leave
Stats (right of screen):
(under HP)
Attack Power
Defense Power
(when you start the game, the characters that appear for your head slot read "nashi" with means "nothing" ie "you have nothing equipped in that slot".
Battle text:
Monster approaches!
You do X damage to monster, you are hit for Y damage.
You win! Gain X XP and Y Gold.
Maybe we can contact the owner and see if he would accept a full translation?
ps The other game on his site on the top (30 Heroes, the sequel to 30second Hero it seems) is quite fun.

i tried a few times and though it was a really hard game, but after i got to kill the boss i realized how easy it was.

Holy... That's tooooooo easy! Just run around til you got 200g, then heal up, get the Dragon Lance (the 200g thing), then go into the cave to beat the boss. One-hit kill! You don't even need to lvl. up after getting 200g.

It seems very similar to my experiment: "2 minutes rpg"
