Oh, you haven’t heard of Numanuin? Clearly, you’ve been living under a rock. It’s the ultimate indie horror game that’s revolutionizing the genre—or so it claims. A “deconstruction” of horror, dripping with pixelated 2D survival-horror action, sprinkled with roguelite elements. Sounds groundbreaking, doesn’t it?

At first glance, it might seem deceptively simple, but don’t be fooled. Beneath that retro aesthetic lies a dark, brooding heart, pulsing with the relentless despair of an indie developer trying to make their mark.

Your mission? Survive as long as possible. Kill enemies with your trusty mouse (yes, the mouse). That’s right—one hand for snacks, one for the massacre.

Features:

- Surviving (groundbreaking).
- The thrilling ability to kill enemies.
- Short playtime—because who has the attention span these days?
- Spooky horror elements (cue dramatic gasp).
- Fully mouse-controlled for ultimate convenience.
- A delightfully dark interface, because why not?
- A harder soundtrack by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio, because every good horror needs atmospheric vibes.
- So, if you’re ready to experience pixelated terror in its most profoundly indie form, give Numanuin a spin. Or don’t. It’s up to you, really.

Oh, just your everyday anthropomorphic cat wielding what appears to be a gun. Because nothing screams "cutting-edge horror" like a bipedal feline with questionable firearms proficiency.

You’ll be navigating the ashen, pixelated void with the trusty WASD keys (classic) while unleashing chaos with your left mouse click—precision aiming courtesy of your mouse. It’s a system so simple, it’s almost insulting. But hey, why overcomplicate when you’ve got a gun-toting cat and hordes of enemies to obliterate?

So yeah, it’s straightforward. Just you, your pawgun, and an endless sea of existential dread wrapped in pixels. Simple, right?

Ah, the enemies—each more unique than the last. Let’s meet the unlucky bunch you’ll be gunning down:

Orcs: The biggest foes in the game, apparently. Though, honestly? They don’t look anything like orcs. Maybe someone just liked the name?



















Piranhas: Supposedly the fastest. Or not. Who’s keeping track, really?















Slimes: The slowest, but paradoxically the hardest to hit. Because aiming at a blob is clearly rocket science.

















Golems: One of the first enemies you’ll encounter. They’re… fine, I guess? Nothing special. Think of them as your standard-issue cannon fodder.


















Snails and Eyeballs: Now, this one’s a head-scratcher. They’re called snails, but honestly, they look more like eyeballs. Did someone mix up the names in development? Who knows. At least their animations are nice. Same goes for the actual eyeballs, which—spoiler alert—aren’t all that different.



But don’t get too excited about strategy here. Every enemy dies in a single hit. Yup, one shot is all it takes to wipe out this diverse rogues' gallery. Still, at least there’s some variety, right?

But wait, there’s more! These enemies aren’t just here to die—they’re piñatas! Yes, when you obliterate them, they’ll graciously spill goodies for you:

Coins: Because what’s a survival-horror game without currency? Expect single coins to slowly build your fortune, or bags with a whopping five coins for those lucky moments.

Power-ups: Four thrilling options to spice up your rampage. Who needs a balanced enemy roster when you’ve got loot to collect?
So, go ahead and pop these pixelated piñatas. At least their deaths come with rewards.

Ah, the precious power-ups—your lifeline in the chaotic world of Numanuin. There are four of them. At least, I think there are four. Let’s break it down:

Aid Kits: Shaped like hearts, because why not? These little lifesavers add extra lives, so you can die more often without that pesky game over screen. As you upgrade them, they’ll grant 1 to 3 lives max. Super handy, since more lives mean more rewards. It’s basically the "get rich by not dying" strategy. Anyway, by this I mean that you can continue getting rewards while alive, but if you die... well, game over, right? xD get it?

Speed Boosters: Represented by speedy little boots, these increase your movement speed. Sounds great, right? Well, until you max it out and start zipping across the screen with just a light tap of a key. Fun becomes frustration faster than you can say, "Where am I going?"

Gun Reloaders: Now this is where the magic happens. These beauties increase your firing speed, making them the most useful upgrade by far. When you’re surrounded by hordes of enemies, this power-up is your best friend. It’s basically the MVP of the game.

Exploders: And here we have the odd one out. Shaped like explosions and almost as exciting, these are—let’s be honest—comically useless. In their base form, good luck hitting a single enemy. Fully upgraded, you might occasionally take one down. There’s even an achievement tied to these, so you’ll probably just grab them to tick that box and move on. Spoiler alert: That’s their sole redeeming quality, give achievements.

So there you have it—four stellar options to help you in your survival. Some are lifesavers, others… well, they exist. With my luck I only get "exploder". xD (or just pray for the Gun Reloaders).

Let’s break it down a bit more:

Coins: You’ll need about 450 coins to buy everything in the shop—though, let’s just round up to 500 coins to be safe. You get these by slaughtering enemies, of course. But once you’ve spent your hard-earned coins on upgrades, they become completely useless. Aside from a few achievements (we’ll get to those later), coins serve no purpose. So, congrats on collecting them, I guess?





Mini-Game: Ah yes, Flappy Bird—but with an upgrade!, A CAT!!! Once you reach a certain achievement (which we’ll discuss later), you’ll unlock this mini-game that’s shockingly similar to Flappy Bird. Spoiler alert: It’s only good for unlocking that one achievement and… that’s it. No more. It’s just there to pad the experience. By the way, this doesn't count towards the "The Best" achievement, so if you last 4 minutes in this minigame, it won't really count for anything.

Rounds: The rounds? Endless, or at least they feel that way. After about 8 or 9 rounds, the difficulty spikes so hard that getting past them seems almost impossible—unless, of course, you’re some kind of prodigy. If you manage that, I salute you.

As for the rest? It’s a pretty intuitive game with simple options and mechanics, so I’m not going to waste your time explaining the obvious.

Now, with all that said, let’s move on to the next part of this journey.

So, you’ve lost all your lives (tragic) and decided to check the global leaderboard, huh? First, you’ll notice me—the game’s top player—sitting in a respectable 5th place, thanks to my legendary impatience. But at the top? None other than Kitty, reigning supreme with a staggering 4-hour run.

Now, how do you dethrone Kitty and claim the coveted #1 spot? Simple:

Kill every enemy—well, almost. Leave one poor soul alive.
Run laps around the map. Literally. Just keep moving. All enemies are slower than you, so as long as you don’t get stuck on those annoying metal wires (you’ve been warned), you’re golden.
Repeat for 4, 5, 6, or 7 hours. That’s it. Just circle the map like an eternal hamster on a wheel.
Congratulations, you’re the new top player! But, honestly… do you really value your time so little that you’ll spend 4+ hours running in circles for this? xD

There you have it! A legendary list of achievements. Some easy, some a bit more time-consuming (read: torture), but all are definitely worth it. Enjoy!

Numanuin is an easy game to platinum, but it can get tedious after a while. The grind for achievements, especially after the first half hour, can start to wear you down, so you’ll need plenty of determination to push through. Think of it as a casual game—don’t expect anything too groundbreaking. The music is decent, but it can become repetitive, so don’t hesitate to lower the volume and play your own favorite music or podcast.

That's all from me. Hope you enjoyed this guide and found it helpful! Happy gaming!

PSDT: I was going to add more things, but, it's my first guide and I still don't know how to edit, I'll be making corrections and all that over time xd

In a world devastated by thermonuclear war, where law and order were as real as unicorns, we, the cats, are the last survivors. Humanity went down the drain, but not us. Why? Because we’re clever, relentless creatures, and, well, a lot smarter than the average human. And, of course, we have that inexplicable ability to survive anything. Things got a little tricky when a terrorist group decided the only thing left to do was destroy everything. They had the most advanced, top-secret weapon at their disposal, but that didn’t help them much. Why? Because we’re cats. Who better to save the world than us, the most powerful creatures on the planet?

So, with the weight of the world’s fate (and the need for a good nap) on my shoulders, I set out to stop these villains. But before you ask, yes, I’m a cat with a mission. Don’t ask how I got the intel or how I ended up with the top-secret weapon. Just know that I’m a very, very capable cat. Why? Because we’re cats, and we own everything. The world is ours, but now we also have to save it from humans. Seems fair, right?

When I arrive at the terrorist hideout, I’m greeted by a scene that looks straight out of a low-budget thriller. The leader, with a beard so big it could house a small forest, is giving a speech about how he’s going to destroy what’s left of humanity. Meanwhile, the other terrorists, dressed in ridiculous outfits that wouldn’t even scare a dog, are all watching intently. Why do villains always have to give speeches? It’s always the same!

"The end is near! Humanity doesn’t deserve to exist!" the leader screams, adjusting his mask, which, by the way, looks more like a coffee maker than a terror device. I, being the good cat that I am, am completely unimpressed. I’m more concerned about the box in the corner that looks like it might have something interesting inside. But no, mission first.

When one of them activates the ultra-secret weapon, it’s like a low-budget sci-fi movie. A countdown appears on the screen, kindly informing us that the end is near. But it’s not a big deal because we’re cats. If there’s one thing we know how to do, it’s ignore important things. The leader, all dramatic and serious, stares at me like it’s the end of the world. I look back at him with that deep stare that only cats can pull off, as if I’m contemplating whether I should give his plan a chance or just go take a nap instead.

"This is the end! This is what humanity deserves!" he says, while I continue watching a bug that just passed by. The chaos, the drama, and the countdown? Totally irrelevant. I just want to know what’s in that box. And it’s at that moment I realize, oh yeah, I’m supposed to save the world.

But of course, like any good cat, I can’t do all that without the proper tools. On my way to the super weapon’s control panel, I encounter several enemies. First, there are the piranhas, fast as lightning, followed by the snails—slow but deadly if you’re not careful. The orcs, big and ugly, try to block my way, and of course, I can’t forget the eye balls, those damn creatures that seem to be able to see you from every direction. Then the ogres show up, ready to destroy everything in their path. And, of course, there’s that other enemy... the one I can’t quite remember now, but I’m sure I fought it too.

To deal with all this, I find the speed boots, which let me move with superhuman agility, and the reloaders, which allow me to reload my gun faster, giving me an edge over my enemies. Not to mention the hearts, which give me extra lives when I’m on the brink of death (although, let’s be honest, who’s going to kill me?). And of course, the explosions. Oh, the explosions! Totally useless most of the time, but who doesn’t love a good blast for fun?

As I make my way through all this, the terrorists can’t understand how a simple cat is defeating their war beasts and dodging their advanced arsenal. Still, I can’t help but think of something. In the midst of all the chaos and destruction, I see something flying through the air. It’s Flappy Cat! The brave little feline is zooming around, avoiding obstacles and racking up points as if this were just a game. He’s a hero who deserves his own video game, if you ask me.

With impressive agility, I reach the control panel of the weapon. The terrorists don’t know what to do. Some wonder if I’m some kind of “hero,” while others are questioning why they didn’t include a cat option in the manual for mass destruction. But there’s no time to discuss that. I press a button on the screen, and... nothing happens! But I don’t stop, of course. I press another, then another, and finally, like any good cat, I just lie down on top of the control panel because, frankly, saving the world is exhausting.

At one point, the leader comes over and, almost as if it were fate, I find the hidden button on the back of the panel. Yes, because top-secret weapons always have a button on the back. I activate it, the countdown stops, and everyone is standing there, staring at me in shock.

"How did he do it?" they murmur. "How can a cat save the world?"

And I, being the good cat that I am, just give them a disdainful look and turn around to return to my well-deserved nap, leaving the humans to continue their absurd plans of “destruction” while I, in my infinite feline wisdom, keep the world’s secret.

In the end, we all know the real hero was the cat. The world is safe, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t more boxes to explore or beds to claim as territory. Because, after all, we’re cats. And we’re always winning, even when we have no idea what’s going on.
