Secret Achievements and Starting Tips

By Sporefreak

Simple tips on how to get achievements.
As an achievement hunter I hate going into games blind, I like knowing if I should play on the hardest setting just because there is an achievemt for it or go for the Normal setting so I can enjoy it a bit more.
This game has NO achievement for playing on hard, Hard only disables checkpoints (If you die you restart the whole level) so play on normal unless you WANT to restart everything should you make a mistake.

Starting Notes

Resources like crystal shards, wood, stone, etc, etc are unlimited, So don't stress out about collecting everything you see like I did for the first world. (Though you will need a lot of wood and stone especially)
If you need more resources, just jump into any portal and collect some more,most of them reappear each time you start a level. (Not all it seems)

All the town quests are super easy, they are all "Kill those" or "Get these"
So look at the map, or simply use the compass at the bottom of the screen to find active quests,
(The find item quests are marked on the map with red)

More will unlock as you progress through the game, just do some levels and then get the quests as they unlock. (You can only have ONE active quest at a time.)

There are more then 3 buildings, use A and D to switch houses when you enter the "Build" menu. (I didnt know this until i completed the 3 hub and didn't get the achievement)

Finally,

THERE IS A BUG WITH THE ACCESSORIES ACHIEVEMENT, DO NOT BUY THEM ALL UNTIL YOU HAVE COLLECTED ALL THE ONES INSIDE THE LEVELS

I thought this was patched but boy oh boy was I WRONG.

Secret Achievements

There are 7 "Secret" Achievements.
Most are easy to get but if you happen to have missed one

1: "Secret area I" Find the secret area in the Triple Cheese Trouble level.
2: "Secret area II" Find the Secret area in the Gloomy Honey Bees level.
3: "Secret area III" Find the secret area in the second Town/Hub
4: "Secret area IV" Find the secret area in the Odd Space Fair level.
5: "Too many deaths" Die 10 times
6: "Looter" Open all the coffins in the hand mission
7: "Curiosity killed the cat" Interact with all the search points in the mansion (The Miracle Manor)

Secret 1:
Jump up on top of the first elevator then onto the secret platform just before going to talk to the Mouse for the first time.
Secret 2:
Walk UNDER the platform before talking to the bear, walk right until you find the mask/secret area
Secret 3:
There is an island close to the top right you have to fly to using the vampire costume
Secret 4:
Go to the game that reqires the bomb costume, go straight forward (Away from the screen) and jump over the fence with the blue alien sign, there is a chest there.

Accessories

I'm finding it very complicated because of the motion of the camera. I've tried the heels a lot more than 10 times and so far nothing!

I'll try it a little more, but if it does not it will be a pity, I wanted to be able to platinum this game, but this camera is killing me!

Thank you and a great new year for you !!

You should be able to turn the camera manually, I dont remember what the keys to do so are but I remember being able to angle my camera as needed.
Practice with making the jump isnt that bad od an idea either, there were a few jumps I failed to do the first 10 or so times I tried.

Hello, how are you? I would like to take a question with you, I saw that you made 100% of the achievements of the game, I wonder how it was to unlock the achievement Master Platformer? Does she have any secrets? I did all the red crystals of Lowleen Town and Crater Peaks, but on the Bleepside Lake map the last red (or penultimate) crystal, which stands after a purple spinning platforms is almost impossible to reach in it, the platforms turn the camera rotates along and the last few jumps always fail! Is there a secret there? some way to improve the camera, or if the game is zero, does Ginger get any ability to help get the red crystal?
Thanks for listening! hugs!
