Introduction
This guide is divided in two main sections:
  1. Campaign Walkthrough
  2. Secrets Walkthrough
Since it is difficult to explain the solution to the puzzles it is based on videos I made and contains timestamped links to the parts you need help with. If you have any further questions feel free to post in the comments. Also, please inform me if you find incorrect information in this guide or links that are not working properly.

Needless to say that this guide spoils the entire game.
Campaign Walkthrough
You can watch the entire campaign walkthrough video here:

Alternatively, you can select a world in the guide index on the right side and find timestamped links to a particular part of the game. Note that there are no links to the sections in the hub.
Secrets
There are eight secrets hidden in the four worlds, two in each of them. Each secret is hidden somewhere "outside" of the regular puzzle area. Look for ways to get out into the open to find them. Good Luck!

Or you can just watch the video I made on how to get all eight secrets:

If you want to know more details about where and how to find the secrets without watching the whole video reveal the spoiler-hidden remarks below or click the timestamped YouTube links. Locations refer to the puzzle numbers assigned above in the Campaign Walkthrough.

    EDIT: I just noticed that there is a far easier way to get to the eighth secret than I originally found ... I was just overthinking things I guess and I thought the developers would hide the last secret much better ;)

As far as I remember there was no way back to previous chapters of the game.

Well. Another question. If i came already to 3rd World, can I get the 1-2 World secrets? Or should I restart already?

Honestly, I am not sure how to answer your question because I do not remember. However, I would assume that you have to get all secrets in one and the same save slot for the all secrets found achievo.

Should I find all secrets in one life? Or can I find secrets on the 3-4 worlds, then restart, get 2nd life-slot, find secrets on 1-2 worlds and get the ach? :health:

That's right, Mactanius. But some players just want to get some pointers for the main campaign and doing everything in one go might spoil too much for them. Don't worry about how I choose to waste my time ;)

Thanks for the guide, but its kinda a massive waste of time doing the whole campaign and then going for the secrets after, making you do the whole thing all over again, instead of just doing the secret while going through each world the first time.

@cabezotta: Ooops ... must have missed your comment. Thanks for your kind words but even bigger thanks for this awesome game! I thoroughly enjoyed puzzling my way through the maze and getting a profound understanding of how to read and manipulate the surroundings.
