Dive into every aspect of this game and uncover the secrets to achieving all the achievements. This guide provides detailed instructions, tips, and tricks to help you complete the game to its fullest. Whether you’re a casual player or a completionist, this guide is your ultimate companion for mastering NUMANUIN.
What is “NUMANUIN”?
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.
So, Who Do We Play As?
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?
Who Are We Shooting At? – Enemies
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.
Power-ups: The Help We’ll Get
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.
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.
So there you have it—four stellar options to aid you in your survival. Some are lifesavers, others… well, they exist. Choose wisely (or just pray for the Gun Reloaders).
A Few More Details…
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! Once you reach a certain achievement (which we’ll discuss later), you’ll unlock a 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.
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.
How to Be #1?
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
