    An atmospheric adventure game where you roam around and solve simple puzzles to progress through the world.

The trailers and screenshots make the game look a lot more appealing than it actually is. The game tries to convince you to take in the sights, but you don't feel compelled to do so.

    The game does not require you to fully complete each area in order to progress, which is nice for casual players.

    As an indie, this game was a decent proof of concept, but there really isn't much going on at all. More story could've made the game more interesting, but as it is, the lack of depth makes the world a bit drab. I give this game a 6+1, where the bonus is because the entire game was made by one single person, which warrants respect.    … Expand

    Short little puzzle game that was a bit of fun.

    Gameplay You walk around and are solving puzzles that involve a little bit of platforming using various skills you obtain throughout the game. There is also a large focus on exploration. Each of the 10 areas has things you need to collect and see in order to get full completion. There are several abilities you unlock, the first is the    Short little puzzle game that was a bit of fun.

    Gameplay

    You walk around and are solving puzzles that involve a little bit of platforming using various skills you obtain throughout the game. There is also a large focus on exploration. Each of the 10 areas has things you need to collect and see in order to get full completion. There are several abilities you unlock, the first is the dash which is self-explanatory and after its acquisition becomes a frequent use in the game. The next one is a skating-like ability that is used for faster traversal, unfortunately, this ability is a bit underused and doesn’t serve much of a purpose outside of faster movement when the areas open up a bit, the increase isn’t that much either. Another ability is teleport, this allows you to teleport to certain points in the areas and also sees frequent use in puzzles after its introduction, it combines with the dash ability to make a nice combination for solving the puzzles. Lastly is a glide ability, this one comes late in the game but does see frequent use and works extremely well with dash and teleport and for this, the last sections of the game are the strongest with the most diverse puzzles and interesting ideas. The game is definitely geared towards younger audiences as the puzzles are quite simple to solve and for the most part, don’t require too much thinking, this does make it a bit boring to play and definitely kills replay value especially with a lacking story.

    Story

    There isn’t much of a story but there are glyphs you can get to give some backstory and world-building, it is all textual though, and isn’t very engaging.

    Graphics

    The graphics are nice, have a simple art style that is nice to look at and the models are really good looking, each creature is unique and adds great diversity to the game.

    Soundtrack

    The soundtrack is alright, not much there but it doesn’t detract and is pretty good towards the conclusion of the game.

    Conclusion

    Omno is an ok game, it is rather short and simple with some nice puzzles. However, at the current price point, I don’t really recommend the game.    … Expand

    Entre su sencillez a la hora de conseguir el 100% de logros, su pequeña duración y sus gráficos planos, es un juego con un regusto inacabado y soso.

    No sorprende ni entretiene en ningún aspecto pese a no hacer nada mal, solo escaso en todos sus apartados.

    Far more action-oriented than a traditional point-and-click, Omno feels like a true “adventure” in the literal sense, offering a jaw-dropping journey of enlightenment that is sure to brighten any gamer’s day.

    Jonas Manke accomplished something incredible. The game he spent five long years creating on his own is relaxing, enjoyable, and above all surprisingly full-bodied. It looks and sounds great, there are no technical issues, and it can compete with titles developed by larger, more experienced teams in pretty much every aspect. It’s a great little game that I wholeheartedly recommend. [10/2021, p.42]

    Those seeking a short, relaxing adventure will find that Omno has just the right mix, including a vibrant world filled with creatures, calming music, basic puzzles, and easy-going platforming.
