Oniken is a 2D platform action indie game that make use of 8-bit graphic style. My friend Pedro Paiva and I are putting a great effort to guarantee that this game feels really like an 8 bit classic. Everything on Oniken, from the character design to the music, is a tribute to the 8-bit action games from the NES era. So if you like old-school games be prepared for Oniken and remember... Oniken is NES hard!
By purchasing Oniken, you will also get with no extra charging Oniken“s Manual and Original Sound Track composed by Thommaz Kauffmann, Bruno Araujo and N-Freq.

Great game,
it's been a while since i played a game that actually required some effort.
Even the first level is rock hard!
Love the graphics but the music deserves a special mention as well.
will there be a sequel?
Hey thanks man! =)
We're not thinking about a sequel for now however we're making another 8 bit platform game! =)
awesome. Just awesome.It's been almost a decade since I felt that what I paid for is totally worth it. Thanks guys.
Hi, there appears to be a bug in the bonus mission 7. The background music will play even if it is turned off in the menu, and silent in the other missions.
The Linux version appears to use a crude WINE wrapper. Be warned.
Seriously? Bah, at least I got this as a gift then. :/
For some reason I can't activate my access code for the leaderboards. I get a message saying " Hey, looks like this key is invalid or has already been activated." Is there some secret to this?
Otherwise this game is freaking amazing.
Hey man, send an e-mail to gameoniken@gmail.com with you serial and I'll help-you! =)
Thanks!
i cant install for linux it said not supported for this platform any ideas?
Hum... You're trying to install using the Desura's client? Did you tried downloading the stand alone files?
