About Oni
Strap in for a pulse-pounding, mind-bending journey in Oni, the indie adventure that’s redefining browser gaming. Your story begins on a routine cargo run gone wrong—energy surges cripple your ship, forcing an emergency landing on a mysterious, energy-rich planet. As you step onto the alien surface amid swirling pixels and retro synths, you’re thrust into a high-stakes quest: recover enough planet energy to fuel your desperate escape.
Every inch of Oni oozes tight indie craftsmanship. Navigate hazardous landscapes brimming with environmental puzzles, pulsating hazards, and secret pathways—all wrapped in lush, atmospheric pixel art that pays homage to old-school classics yet feels cutting-edge. The controls are razor-sharp: glide, jump, and double back with flawless precision using either WASD/arrow keys or your favorite mobile gestures. Mastering Oni’s smooth moves and quick reactions is essential, especially with its notorious hard difficulty curve that will challenge even genre veterans.
What truly sets Oni apart is its sense of discovery and reward. Explore sprawling levels packed with hidden lore, cryptic energy relics, and artful easter eggs. Snag the digital art book for deeper immersion, or grab a physical copy if you crave collector’s cred. With zero installs required, Oni’s seamless HTML5 integration lets you jump into action anywhere—work break, couch, or commute.
Whether you’re a speedrunner gunning for perfect completion or a story-driven explorer uncovering every secret, Oni promises hours of edge-of-your-seat gameplay. Each run brings fresh surprises, epic victories, and white-knuckle moments as you fight to reclaim your power and return home. Are you ready to brave the unknown, beat the odds, and become the hero of your own pixelated legend?
How to Play
Start by launching Oni right from your browser—no download needed. Use W, A, S, D or Arrow Keys to move your character across mysterious alien landscapes. To interact or jump, press J or Z (acting as Button A). Use K or X for secondary actions (Button B), such as activating items or fighting off hostile planetary threats. Press Enter to start your game and Shift to make gameplay selections or toggle between menu options.
As you step from your ship, your primary quest is to collect enough planetary energy to recharge your ship. Explore strange, biome-diverse levels with hazards like energy surges, shifting platforms, and aggressive wildlife. Keep your reflexes sharp—timing your jumps and dodges is crucial in this challenging environment!
Beginner tips: Survey each area carefully for hidden alcoves and secret objects, some of which grant extra abilities or environmental clues. Don’t rush—steady, deliberate movement will help you survive tough traps. Use checkpoints wisely as Oni’s challenge level ramps up quickly. Whether you play on desktop or mobile, controls are intuitive and responsive, allowing for precision play in any setting. If you’re ever stuck, revisit earlier areas to unlock new paths with collectibles or power-ups. Good luck, explorer—your ship (and fate) depend on your skills!
