Super Onion Boy

About Super Onion Boy

Super Onion Boy is a heartfelt retro platformer starring the roundest hero in the produce aisle: run and bounce through pixel levels, stomp and zap cartoon monsters, grab power-ups and push on to rescue your kidnapped friend. The level design is classic 16-bit school — secrets above the ceiling, coins that teach jumps, difficulty that ramps politely.

It's an original with genuine charm, and the tight controls make it a great "real platformer" break between arena shooters.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys, jump with Z and fire your magic zap with X. Stomp small enemies, zap the spiky ones, and explore up and left occasionally — the levels hide more than the golden path shows.

Controls

• Arrow keys — move
• Z — jump
• X — shoot
• P — pause

Tips to win

• Short-tap jumps for precision; hold only for max-height gaps.
• If an enemy looks stompable but spiky, zap first and confirm later.
• Coins arranged weirdly point at hidden blocks — jump under everything suspicious.
