🎮 Play Psychic 5 World Online (Arcade)

Psychic 5 is a distinct and quirky 2D action-platformer released in arcades in 1987, developed by NMK and published by Jaleco. You control a team of five “espers” (psychic characters) who each possess varying attributes like speed, strength, and hovering ability. Your goal is to navigate through eight large, maze-like stages with unique floating jump physics, rescuing your friends from magic jars and defeating bosses along the way.

How to Play

You start the game with two espers and can unlock the rest by exploring the stages. You can swap between your available characters by entering phone booths scattered throughout the levels. As an arcade title, use Shift (or 5) to insert a coin, Enter (or 1) to start, the Arrow keys for movement, and Z/X/C for action buttons in the browser.

Tips

• Pay attention to the unique floating physics; mastering your characters’ hover capabilities is essential for traversing the huge vertical areas.
• Don’t forget to use the phone booths. Switching characters to match the situation—like using a stronger character for combat or a faster one for platforming—is the key to surviving later stages.
