Overview
This guide is meant to be an overview of all the achievements and where to find them. Of the 17 (as of writing) 10 are achieved by simply advancing the game until you reach the ending. All but one, Power Napper, are achieved as part of 100% completion of the game. Nothing is missable.

While this guide aims to provide information for the runes and Voyager achievement, it does not contain where stars or elemental gems can be found.
Power Napper

This is the only achievement that is not obtained as part of 100% completion. Simply do nothing and idle for a cumulative total of one hour. Since it's cumulative it doesn't need to be all at once and you'll probably end up obtaining it naturally while you figure out some of the tougher puzzles.
Starman Junior, Starman, Starman Deluxe, & Final Starman
These four are obtained by collecting 25, 50, 100, and 120 stars respectively, as their achievement descriptions say. There are 120 stars in total.

If you are curious about the 11 new stars added as part of the Mysterious Update, 2 have been added to each of the main islands, except for snake stacks which has 1 new star adding up to 9 of the new 11. The eight on the stone, water, ice, and fire island are in rooms which combine elemental golems. There are one of these rooms per island, two stars each. The one in snake stacks is in the room below where you land. The remaining two are special and related to new island wide puzzles in Tidal Reefs and Frozen Spire. The one in Tidal Reefs involve finding hidden shells and solving puzzles for crabs. The one in Frozen Spire is on a screen below where you get the jumping cape. it involves the birds. Some hints for those are below.

Tidal Reefs

Hint 1: On the screen blocked by the shell block look at the bottom right. This is a hint as to where all the shells are.

Hint 2: For the crab puzzle, think addition.

Frozen Spire

Hint: Focus on the image on the left instead of those at the bottom.
Turtle Rider

This is the first achievement you will get. Get to the right most side of the island and get on the turtle.



Rock Climber

For this achievement set foot on Stoney Cliffs, the first of the four main islands. It is directly north of Ancient Island



Rock and Roll

Activate the rock elementals This can be done on Stoney Cliffs at the top middle screen. You will need to collect six of the twelve of the earth elemental gems first and bring them here.



Tidepooler

Set foot on the second island, Tidal Reef. To get here, make your way to the turtle spot on the far left of Stoney Cliffs and take the turtle. Keep in mind you will need five stars. From here head left on the over-world and you should reach it.





Slip and Slide

Activate the water elementals in Tidal Reef. You will need six elemental gems and need to bring it to the deity here.





Firewalker

Visit the third Island, the Raging Volcano (Technically Frozen Spire is also visitable at this point but the star requirement is higher). This one has a 15 star requirement, so keep that in mind.



Turn and Burn

As you might guess activate the fire elementals. You'll need to head to the deity with six fire gems.





Ice Climber

Set foot on the Frozen Spire. This achievement won't actually pop up until you enter the second screen of the island. Keep in mind you need 30 stars to actually get access to the island.

Huff and Puff

Unlock the ice elementals in Frozen Spire. Like the other elementals this one requires six ice gems and visiting the the deity here. It is located in the center of the island. However due to the nature of the birds it can be tricky to navigate here. To get to the deity, from the start of the island, navigate to D3 and take the bird here. This should take you to D1. Head down to D2 and solve the puzzle here so that you have access to this bird.





Pathfinder


This the final story achievement. As the description suggests visit the sanctum.

This only possible through Ancient island and after activating the four deities. You just have to set foot on the island. It's not necessary to solve any of the puzzles or beat the game.
Gemologist

It's exactly as the description says. Generally these are found on their respective elemental island, although not universally. Some are found on the smaller puzzle islands scattered about. There are 12 of each color.

Spoilers, there are actually five types, not 4 like the achievement image implies. The fifth type, obsidian also has 18 instead of 12 as of the Mysterious update. However you don't need the black gems for this achievement.
Voyager

As the description says. As of version 1.2 there are 16 islands. Refer to the map below for the location of all islands. Keep in mind accessing some parts of the ocean require stars, whirlpools, or solving other puzzles.

Also fun related fact, the world map is a turtle.

Master of Runes

There are six runes to collect as the achievement image suggests. Luckily most of these are collected as part of progression but there are a few not necessarily needed to see the ending.

Earth Rune:

This is located on Stoney Cliffs on the same screen as the deity. To solve, but the bottom box right and then up twice. Head up to the crystal tile below the box you just pushed and push the other box left without leaving your spot. Then head right and up to collect the rune stone.



Water Rune:

This is on Tidal Reef on the same screen as the water deity. To collect it, go to the bottom left of the screen. Push the top water block to the left onto the spikes. Then move the bottom block into the pit to fill the pit with water. Go back to the top block. Push it right and then up once. Go around it and to the top without stepping onto the loose pit in the corner. Now push it all the way down to the bottom of the screen. Now step on the temporary floor and continue to push the block leftwards onto the switch. The rune will now be collectible.



Fire Rune:

This is on Raging Volcano on the same screen as the deity, same as the last two. On the left side of the screen are three exploding boxes. Push the top box left twice into the lava. Then move what was the middle box up one, left twice, and then up one more time. Finally push the remaining box up two times, left once, and then up another two times. Finally enter the the path from the second box using the fragile tile.



Ice Rune:

This is on Frozen Spire, screen with the deity like the other runes. On the right side, step on the temporary platform and push the cloud up. Go to the box next to you and push it up two, right one, and then up one more time. Push the top cloud right. Then, push the cloud below it down and then to the right. Walk to the right, onto the temporary ice platform you just created and ten down one. From here push the box right once. head right, over the hole you just filled and then down to push the box onto the switch. Exit the right side from the path you just created and head towards the center area of the screen. Slide right on the ice, up, and then right again and finally down to collect the rune.



Dark Rune:

This is one of the two optional runes in the game. It can be found in the far west of the map on the snake island. You will need 45 stars and preferably the jumping cape. From where you land, head to the screen above. This one is difficult to explain in detail. Push the box on the right side into the hole. Then, step on the black space and spawn a clone. You must now use the clone to trigger the three bells. I can't offer much advice other than the clone has inverted movement to you and it can walk through the black smoke. This puzzle is mostly trial and error.





Time Rune (Green Rune):

The other optional rune. This one can be accessed pretty early if you know what you're doing. The gimmick here is that the boxes at the top retain their position even after undoing moves. First push the box on the right upwards into the hole. Undo moves until the temporary tiles are regenerated. Now walk forward and push the other box to the left. undo moves again until you're on the other side. Now walk on the temporary platforms on the left and push the box onto the switch. Undo again until you are on the other side. Go to the bottom and break the directional block that is now accessible. Push the wooden box on the left left, up and left again through the portal. Go around and push the wooden box into the hole. Break the directional block to free up some more space. Completely reset the screen.

Push the two wooden boxes upward to fill in the holes. Then from the path on the right side, cross the temporary platforms and push the green box down. Undo until you are back across. Go around and push the green box you just moved right five spaces and then up twice. Go back to the temporary path on the right and use it to push the box right once. Undo to get back. Now push the green block up three and left twice onto the switch. Break the directional block that is now accessible. Do a complete reset.

First, repeat the steps in the first paragraph so that the top switch is activated again. Then, push the two wooden boxes up to fill the holes again, making sure you do the right one first and then the left one. The order is important. Now push the newly unlocked green block through the portal to the right. Push it through the right four times so that it is between the two stone blocks to its north and south. Now, undo until the left box undoes itself out of the ground. Push this box into the final hole on the far right before the switch. once the hole is filled, continue to push the green block onto the switch. The rune will now be obtainable. Go up and collect it.





Mysterious Update: Insight, Illumination, and Enlightenment
This section is dedicated to the new achievements added in the Mysterious Update, except for Final Starman, which can be found in the stars section.

These three are related to the new collectible added in the update. There are 30 total. To get started collecting them, you will need the new circlet item in snake stacks. To obtain this you will need to collect the eight new red triangles scattered around the island. The first four involve getting clones onto specific pentagram spots near the collectible. once they are on them you will be teleported to that spot. Once you have the first four the new puzzle in the heart area will become solvable. To grab these you will need to dislodge both boxes. The first can be obtained by sacrificing clones to fire and moving them left at the bottom of the screen until the block outside of the teleporter exit is destroyed. The second involves separating the two shadow boxes and then pushing one left then right the pink then green teleporter. Push it above the wooden box, and then get a clone to push the wooden box into the shadow. This will destroy it then have a clone destroy the box. Use the boxes to push down the button or trap clones in a way to get them to push the buttons so that you can collect the remaining pieces. Once you have all eight the circlet becomes obtainable.

With the circlet a few things will happen. One, on certain screens symbols will appear on the ground. get objects onto these spots and you will unlock something, typically a pyramidos. second, hidden breakable blocks that were previously uninteractable will become revealed and destroyable. third, on certain screen black symbols will appear on the wall as shown below. This particular one, found at the bottom of snake stacks and the solution to the one in the heart room, is particularly important as it will tell you some of the location symbols . The floor in this room is a rough sketch of the world map, use the whirlpools to position.

Generally the clues work like this: First a symbol for the island it is found, short lines below mean smaller related islands. Next where on the island it can be found. This is commonly screen transitions from where on the island you start/land. Then the remainder are the steps to be taken to reveal the secret. Most of these are little steps, starting from some specific prominent point, but there are later much more difficult puzzles that use different symbols.



Additionally with the circlet black sparkles will appear on islands similar to the blue ones that mark stars still present. As you might guess, these mean there are still pyramidos on the island. Keep in mind though these are for the actual collectible and not the wall clues. There can still be wall clues on islands with no sparkles and islands with sparkles might have all their wall clues solved.

@Tal Tallon the filled in line is the screen border, and the 2 dotted lines are like footsteps moving toward it

i wanna point, the symbols directions are wrong
the 'right' is actually left and left is right, down and up are correct

How do you decipher what "one screen up" is from the Mysterious Update? I don't understand how that image references UP
