List of Awards
This table has two description columns - the first, Description, is the official subtext, if existant, taken from the game data. The second one is notes made by me, about the exact requirements, directly the game code.
Some awards require you to meet the requirement multiple times in a match to appear. If you want to specifically go for one of them, watch out that you don't get too many other awards in the same run, because some (for example Ironman Award) have a higher priority than others, and they might "block" the award you were going for.

You can find hints for awards marked with a star * in the Additional Notes section below.

Additional Notes
This little section is for little things not everyone might know about the game or the awards... including some things which are in the Lessons found in the Archives, but I think it's nicer to have everything in one place.
  • Most Evasive, Most Zen and other dodging awards: Dodge by pressing any shoulder button (Shift on keyboard). If you hit any arrow during this dodge, you will catch it out of the air and take no damage.
  • Most Twitchy: The "Grace Period" is a time window of 3 frames (0.05 seconds) which starts when you get hit by an arrow while not dodging. If you are able to press the Dodge button while in the Grace Period, you will still catch the arrow and survive, even though you have techincally been hit.
  • Most Fashionable and Usurper Award: Duck over your own hat or anyone's crown to pick it up. Also works with the Reaper's crown, by the way...
  • Pickpocket Award: Bump into another archer while you have no arrows to steal one from them.
  • Fetal Position Award and Cannonball Award: Hold Down to duck, or, when in mid air, fall faster.
  • Bottle Rocket Award: If you only touch the edge of an explosion, you will be pushed around without getting hurt.
  • Most Conductive: Catching a Bolt Arrow releases a small electric shock. Any opponents caught in it will be killed.
  • From The Grave Award: Only possible with the "Return As Ghosts" variant enabled. Touch a living player from the side to kill them, but watch out, you can still get stomped!

This guide is incomplete, but the wiki helped me out. http://towerfall.wikidot.com/awards

yeah, if you have time, can you update those with DW content?

Would be nice to see this updated with Dark World content, and numbering the awards would make the list much more useful.

Anyone who's played much Quest Mode can tell you that bolt arrows can turn a good number of times.
Suyooo  [author] 14 Sep, 2014 @ 12:25am 
No, it isn't. Bolt Arrows can turn multiple times. I checked the game code, and I don't think it lies.
Also, added the hint about electrocution into the notes.

Derp, nevermind googled it.

Right angle award is wrong, using a bolt arrow you need to bounce it so that it forms a 90 degree angle. Bolt arrows can't bounce twice.

But I'm confused by the electrocution one, I don't even remember there being a way to electrocute people...

Here's a whole bunch of updates on various awards, elaborating further on the requirements, and for some, correcting them to the true criteria!

Any techniques for getting the Consolation Prize?

Nice guide, I was wondering what Most Devious meant...
