Hoomanz! is a stealth-adventure game packed with coziness and humour, featuring non-combat gameplay & family-friendly content. Play as Shoo, the mythical guardian of Planet Erf with a hidden dual nature, to scare away all the ignorant invading Hoomanz. Darkness is nature’s friend, light is its enemy.


On planet Erf, darkness is nature’s friend and light is its enemy. As Shoo you must navigate through the dark, otherwise you’ll get chased and squished with a hug!
Dark Shoo: Fierce, fast, scary and fully prepared to deal with the Hoomanz.
Light Shoo: Slow, vulnerable, cute and extremely huggable… and Shoo hates hugs.
Don’t let them catch you!


When you scare a Hooman, they’ll get yeeted off the planet – you’re just that scary (or they’re just that fragile). But it’s not as easy as it sounds – You must stress the Hooman first. You do that using the environment and its tools.


Lure them with a cute purrr, throw bottles, snap twigs, sabotage lights, frozen yeti jumpscares, dance around dangerous traps… Shoo’s toolkit is full of mischief. There’s no “right” way to scare off a Hooman, so get inventive!


Dash to get out of a sticky situation, or to simply explore the whimsical atmosphere of planet Erf’s nature. Champion through dash obstacle courses to save creatures and more.


As you progress through the story, your environment will get more harsh, puzzles harder and the need to save planet Erf even more dire!


The game is packed with humour. From idle Hoomanz playing the banjo (if you can call it that), slipping on ice and generally making weird sounds, to cute underpants, their panicked waddling, hilarious screams (recorded by us Koffeecuppers) and much much more!

Cute, adorable, fun. Can't blame the Hoomanz for wanting to cuddle the little fella to death.
It's a nice relaxing game. Saw and wishlisted it at Gamescom 2024, I think. Consider, that the recommendation for playing with Controller is spot on. The game has been designed for that, That's its nature and if you play with keyboard, like me, then sometimes there will be a challenging time with moving in precise directions. This is not negative, just a fact. My only criticism is about the Music. It's enjoyable but repetitive and after a short while I needed to turn it off.
I loved this game! I found Hoomanz on keymailer when it was just a demo and though, wow thats really cute! Luckily, I was given the chance to check it out and this is how I feel about Hoomanz after completing it 100% Pros: - COLLECTABLE SKINS - The dark version of collectable skins (the cooler versions!) - Game can be played with one hand. - I liked that each area had it's own gimicks. Cons: - Game can feel short. - Music could have used some work. Some of my viewers found it repetitive.
Cute short fun stealth game. Loved the demo and picked it up right after. Could have been a bit longer if new mechanics were introduced but overall a nice experience worth it's price. I've managed to finish all 12 levels in around 5 hours with all collectibles picked and all hoomanz scared.
initially i thought this was gonna be one of those generic ahh steam games but after trying the demo i really enjoyed it. i did recieve this key for free but the gameplay is quite engaging. the game is fairly short, you can beat it in about 2- 3 hours depending on your strategy during levels, and about 5 hours of gameplat if you want to complete everything and unlock all achievements. as i said befoe the gameplay is quite engaging, each level requires you to scare a set amount of hoomanz to complete the level, each scaling in difficulty and its up to you to scare them all and how youll do it. this game does offer lots of replayability as you can speedruns levels once youve got an idea of how to efficiently complete them. over all with the recent price drop id highly reccomend this game, even if you do just 1 playthrough youre gonna get atleast 5-6 hours of gameplay, so thats about 1$ an hour.
I played this for the first time tonight and I absolutely loved it. I have to say that the art style is super cute and I love all the skins that you can unlock in the game. So far I would say that the Dragonfruit skin in my favorite. The soundtrack for the game is also really good and I love the song that you have on your menu screen. I will say that I wish there was a way to move the camera around so that I could see behind or below me better. There were a couple hoomanz that were hard to hit with the freeze bombs because I couldn't get a good angle on them. This isn't a game killer for me, but would make the game a little more enjoyable. So far I've only made it through the first two sections. I cannot wait to play the game again. I definitely recommend it.
esta muy entretenido, se me hizo corto,de echo el hecho de que sea así lo hace viable parta todas las edades
Hoomanz! ist ein sehr putziges Stealth-Game, allein die Tatsache wie Misserfolg "bestraft" wird ist absolut süß! Die verschiedenen Level sind gut machbar, aber ab und an auch herausfordernd, sowohl etwas für den absoluten Stealth-Game Pro (weil es mal etwas anderes ist) und eine absolute Empfehlung für jeden der mit Stealth-Games wenig oder noch gar keine Erfahrung gemacht hat. ich hab 3,4 Std gebraucht, man kann es definitiv schneller durch spielen, aber man kann sich auch mehr Zeit nehmen ;) Optik eine klare 10/10, Herausforderung 7/10 Spaß am Spiel 100%.
Hoomanz on Erf be bad! Erf be better without Hoom!
A sneakily cute adventure in scaring hoomanz. A sort of stealth puzzler where you are a cute little rodent in the light but a devious little shadow in the dark. Smooth controls and easy to pick up mechanics make this enjoyable for any fan of the genre. Love the character design of the hoomanz and the way they get absolutely rocketed off the screen when scarred. Would recommend to anyone looking to yeet some hoomanz.
