Introduction
Welcome to the achievement guide for Nyan Cat: Lost in Space! I had to break this guide up into two parts, since I'm guessing there is a hidden word limit somewhere - that or my computer was being tricky since I think my other walkthrough was longer - as my computer would stop allowing me to type in certain places that I attempted to change and it fixed itself when I made the second portion.

Every achievement available in game is listed below in alphabetical order, to make it a little easier for you to all find. I've tried my best in giving some tips on how to make it easier to obtain them, though you don't have to listen to them. Play the game the way you want to after all!

If you have any tips yourself, or noticed something that I may have missed/messed up on, let me know in the comments below! I'll try to fix any errors that I may have made. And if you know an easier way of getting the Veteran achievement, pleasepleaseplease let me know @.@

Enjoy the guide and good luck getting those achievements!
Achievements I
Always Energized: 5 energy drinks collected in a game
  • In a sitting of the game - without dying - collect five energy drinks. This is probably the easiest achievement you can get, so long as you don't fall off and kill Nyan. As a power-up, it gives you a faster speed and jumping can get a little tricky if you don't time them properly.
Anorexinyan: Ran 25 seconds without collecting any food
  • No food collecting. Seems a bit impossible, right? Since literally everything is food. I wouldn't worry about this achievement until you come across a Copper/Green Magnet. This magnet will push away anything you get near that is food related, so you can still collect coins. However, it doesn't last very long so once it goes out, try as hard as you can to not touch any food for the remaining seconds or buy a Power ++ for a few coins to keep it a little longer than usual.
Bomb Killer: 100 bombs deactivated
  • Pretty explanitory. Just click on the bombs and they deactivate. Touch them with Nyan and he will be killed instantly.
Bonus Nyan: x250 score multiplier reached in a game
  • In the right hand corner of the screen is your multiplier. It goes up whenever you collect a cow item and doubles when you collect a cow. Red Jewel power-ups will also give you a 2x Multiplier on every cow and cow item you collect. Milk Glasses will turn all food items into cow items, so grab those when you can. You can also buy a boost item before the game to start you off with a score of 50x. However, it will run out eventually and you'll need to begin again.
City Boy: Played 10 times on Nyan Cat City theme
  • I'm pretty sure you have to buy this theme at the shop on the starting screen (the pink button with the shopping cart on it), but it should be pretty easy to grab (I believe it sells at fifty coins). Then, go back to the Select Game Mode screen and hit that blue Change World button on the bottom. Just play and make Nyan commit suicide from the lower platforms or a bomb and play again.
Cow Collector: 100 Cow items collected
  • Collect 100 Cow items. Now, for some reason, only the cows count. I don't get it, not sure if it's a bug or the Achievement image is there to lead you astray (though I'm sure it isn't) but it quite literally means the cow only. An easy way to get this faster is by using as many Red/Blue Magnets as possible, as well as upgrading your magnet's range on the start-up screen's shop menu. It drags in the cows too, so you'll reach 100 in no time!
Dog Dodger: 5 times jumped over a doggy in a game
  • Jump over the dog five times in one game sitting. Touching Doggy doesn't count, so you'll have to jump him without getting injured. However, it's okay if you get hurt during a chain as you could be on four successful jumps, get injured on the fifth, make the sixth successfully and still unlock the achievement (basically, the counter won't reset). This can be done in Classic Mode if you want, but for an easier grab, I'd try for this in Tac Nayn's level, since you'll have more chances of running into Doggy. Stay on the middle mostly and if you see him a platform lower or higher ahead of time, try to make it.
Gold Platform Addict: Jumped on Gold Platforms 1000 times
  • Jump and land on a gold platform a thousand times. Every hundred times, steam's achievement pop-up will let you know how far you are to a thousand, which is really helpful since you can only see the counter for the bombs and distance. Always try getting the Gold Nyan Statue power-up if you can, since it will turn every normal platform into a gold platform (bouncing, sliding and falling platforms don't change so avoid rows of these). This sort of achievement is something I would personally wait until the end of your collecting to focus on, especially if you are doing some of the more focused ones.
High Roller: Stayed on the highest platforms at least for 30 seconds
  • The very top or the next highest platforms need to be your running/jumping area for thirty seconds. Using BubbleNyan, SuperNyan and RocketNyan power-ups will help too, since they will take you wherever you want or need to go. Try to stay on the top ones and only drop to the next highest if necessary.
Low Roller: Stayed on the lower platforms at least for 30 seconds
  • The same as the last one, only the opposite. Stay on the lowest platform for thirty seconds. Be careful though, since there can be large gaps that you'll be unable to make and will fall to your death instead.
Achievements II
Marathonyan: 42195 meters completed
  • Complete a total of 42,195 meters in general. You can see how far you've gone on the Trophy menu, where it will tell you how many km you have traveled, the second listing.
Meeting Tac Nayn: Tac Nayn touched 9 times
  • Tac Nayn is that adorable, little, evil, waffle cat that looks pissed all the time and plays metal when you pass near him. You don't have to do anything to him, just run straight at him without bothering to dodge him.
Multi Face: Played with a skin other than NYAN CAT
  • Choose a skin other than Nyan Cat. You can buy them in the shop on the menu for 50 coins or 100 coins when it comes with a theme. Before jumping into the game you want, select the change skin option and then the thumbs up when you find the pack you want. Then thumbs up again when you select your Nyan, and you are good to go. Let me know who your favorite NyanSkin is, mine's the SkeletonNyan from the Halloween pack.
Safe Nyan: Ran 1000 meters without touching any kind of enemies
  • This one can be a little tricky. Buying a head start boost before the game will take away the clouds that tell you how far you've gone but they do get you a little closer, faster and without getting damage. Another good idea is to try and get as many SuperNyan and RocketNyan power-ups as you can. You can't touch anyone: Tac Nayn, Doggy, Blue/Red Spaceships, Bombs. Nothing for a thousand meters.
Tourist: Played in a world other than Space
  • Really simple, just change the theme of your world in the Select Game Mode menu. Hit the thumbs up when you've found a theme that you can play and start it up, you'll get it instantly.
UFO Escaper: A UFO abduction survived
  • Let one of the red spaceships take you. Literally, throw yourself into them. I mean it. The blue ones won't do anything but damage you, but the red ones will suck you up for a bit, dropping your score before spitting you back out again.
UFO Visitor: A UFO abduction survived 25 times
  • Pretty much the same as the UFO Escaper achievement, only you need to get sucked in by twenty-five of these bad boys.
Veteran: 100 enemies eliminated with Nyan Love
  • Probably the hardest achievement, since Nyan Love is sooooooooo hard to come by. I cannot stress how difficult it is (I'm currently five hours in with a score of 20/100). Nyan Love can appear anywhere and typically once you find it, you're either seeing it behind you from going down a platform or your too far up that by the time you get close, you literally miss it by a hair. Even worse, once you get it there are usually no enemies around. Bombs do NOT count. However, Doggy, Tac Nayn and Spaceships do. Good luck ... I mean it.
Veteran Bomb Killer: 2000 bombs deactivated
  • It sounds like a lot, but it's pretty easy. The closer you get to 1000 meters, the more likely these will pop up. Like I said before, just clicking on them will deactivate them but touching them with Nyan will kill him. I find that both the top and the bottom of the levels typically have the most bombs and some power-ups, such as RocketNyan and SuperNyan, make it easy as well if you're good at high speed clicking.
Warrior: 10 enemies eliminated with Nyan Love
  • Easier than the Veteran achievement, just try to get it and hope for the best. If you spot it ahead of time, make it your goal, no matter what you are currently doing achievement wise, to get that power-up.

cleveland *****er 16 Sep, 2023 @ 7:42am

"Always Energized ... is probably the easiest achievement you can get" are you fkn kidding me ??!? i'm nearly halfway thru the list and i've been busting my balls trying to get it more so than any other achievement here !!! i swear it's one of the least common power-ups that the RNG throws at you, and when you do see one, it's in a spot that's impossible to reach relative to where Nyan Cat is 🤬

the only "tip" I have for the veteran achievement, that personally worked for me, was to just enter a run and leave almost immediately if you don't find nyan love within like the first 10 seconds. This is what helped me get the last ~40 kills I needed faster than before :nyancat:

bruh im 108 hours in and i still couldnt complete that damn "Veteran" achievement. I feel bad about myself.

So i finally completed all the achievements, these 8 hours were so painful i will never get them back.





at least i got the best emoticon :nyancat:

lol so yeah this is gonna be weird but

i was right, these achievements are really bugged, but i got them somehow.
all i had to do was reseting my scores, and then in my first game, i got anorexyan, and Bonus Nyan on the second one.

so if y'all having the same problem i had, just reset your scores and give it a try, if care more about the steam achievements than the in-game stats, just like me

These achievements are really buggy, like, da hell.
I can't get Anorexinyan even tho i even get past 25 seconds.
And don't get me started on Bonus Nyan, i even got past 250x ( I got like, 536 or some shit ) and the freaking achievement didn't even appeared. This is frustrating :(

Eliminated over 100 enemies (~120) with Nyan love... and nothing! :fengxi: Achievement does not give. Very upsetting. The time spent on it very much. :sad_crystal:
Ps. Didn't anyone have a problem like this?
