How to play Washoi

Washiki Washoi! is a free browser arena FPS. Bring a keyboard and mouse, choose a live server and start learning the maps. No game installation is required.

1. 1. Open the browser game

   Choose Play, select a server and launch the game. There is no installer or separate launcher. Your browser loads the game's code and downloads the map and media packages it needs.

2. 2. Keep your account key

   Your player account is identified by a key saved in the browser. Keep an exported copy so you can return on another browser or device. Clearing browser data without a backup can lose access to the account: a name alone cannot recover its key, history or rankings.

3. 3. Choose a mode and a room

   The lobby offers Duel, Free-for-All, Amphi and Search & Destroy. Join or create a room and use the available map choices. Duel rewards map and item control; Amphi gives you short one-on-one rounds with a chosen kit. Free-for-All puts everyone against everyone, while Search & Destroy asks teams to attack or defend bomb sites.

4. 4. Learn the controls and movement

   Use the game's welcome guide and settings to review your bindings. Practice bunny hops and air control, then add wall jumps, ledge grabs and crouch slides. Learn a route at a comfortable speed before trying to carry that speed into a fight. Sensitivity, field of view, bindings and many gameplay settings can follow your account.

5. 5. Practice, then watch a match back

   Bots let you learn the arenas and try weapons before facing other players. Their difficulty changes how they aim, react and make mistakes. Match recordings and cinematic highlight reels let you revisit a fight, see another player's perspective and spot a route or decision you missed while playing.
