Intro

I noticed this game while it was on sale recently and I picked it up and finished it rather quickly. There were a few quirks and buggy achievements that were difficult but I managed to beat it in three hours. This guide will help you power through with ease with some descriptions and pictures of achieves for an easy 100% on your steam account for this game. If you like the guide please Like, Follow and leave a comment with any questions or problems. Without any further delay let's get on with it shall we?

Achievement List

This details the achievements and requirements:

Honor Roll: Complete the Training Facility

Island Hopper: Complete the Tropical Isles Stage

Desert Nomad: Complete the Barren Desert Stage

Hot Stuff: Complete the Volcanic Crater Stage

Frozen Ball: Complete the Snowy Peaks Stage

Lord of the Skies: Complete the Sky Ruins Stage

Cliffhanger: Complete the Towering Mountain Stage

Galactic God: Complete the Space Construct Stage

Gladiator: Survive for 100 seconds in the Arena

Laser Surgeon: Survive for 60 seconds in Laser Jump

Epic Crater: Survive for 100 seconds in Crate Chaos

The Impossible: Clear every stage in order with no fallouts

Level Completion Achievments

The completion of any of these levels in any order will score you their respective achievements. To unlock "The Impossible" you must beat all levels without dying in their order. This can simply be done from start to finish if you just restart your current level if you die. Dying does not void the achievement, just complete each level without dying. Each level is no more then a few minutes long so it shouldn't be too difficult to do.

Honor Roll: Complete the Training Facility

Difficulty Without Dying: n/a
Other Potential Achievements: n/a
*Note: This is the tutorial and should be completed first among all levels, although unknown if it counts towards "The Impossible" achievement.

Island Hopper: Complete the Tropical Isles Stage

Difficulty Without Dying: Easy
Other Potential Achievements: n/a

Desert Nomad: Complete the Barren Desert Stage

Difficulty Without Dying: Medium
Other Potential Achievements: Speed Demon
*Note: Be wary of gusty winds that may push you off course. "Speed Demon" achievement should be awarded on the last ramp of this level.

Hot Stuff: Complete the Volcanic Crater Stage

Difficulty Without Dying: Moderately Difficult
Other Potential Achievements: n/a
*Note: Death is common. This was my least favorite level...

Frozen Ball: Complete the Snowy Peaks Stage

Difficulty Without Dying: Easy
Other Potential Achievements: Speed Demon
*Note: Hitting any three speed boosters consecutively will unlock "Speed Demon".

Lord of the Skies: Complete the Sky Ruins Stage

Difficulty Without Dying: Moderately Difficult
Other Potential Achievements: n/a

Cliffhanger: Complete the Towering Mountain Stage

Difficulty Without Dying: Moderately Difficult
Other Potential Achievements: Free Bird
*Note: This is the only level that I have successfully achieved the "Free Bird" achievement personally.

Galactic God: Complete the Space Construct Stage

The Impossible: All areas in order with each completed without any deaths (Will only be awarded on this level)
Difficulty Without Dying: Hard
Other Potential Achievements: Free Bird, Speed Demon, The Impossible
*Note: "The Impossible" achievement is awarded after the completion of this level if all requirements have been fulfilled. "Speed Demon" and "Free Bird" achievements have a tendency to not be awarded due to bugs. Other methods will be later described for these achievements.

MiniGame Achievments

You have three very simple minigames to choose from apart from the campaign that have their own respective achievements. Arena, Laser Jump and Crate Chaos. I will discuss my methods including pictures to help you achieve maybe the easiest achievements in this game.

Arena:
In arena you have one objective... Survive. Other moving orb enemies will be launched at you consistently, forcing you to trick them off the side or hide under them.

Gladiator: Survive for 100 seconds in the Arena
Strategy: In the above picture, you can see that hiding overtop of them is a viable option and will easily get you 100 seconds survived.

Laser Jump:
In laser Jump, you play a pretty quick game of jump rope with an ever faster moving laser that speeds across the floor. You are expected to jump over said laser or game over.

Laser Surgeon: Survive for 60 seconds in Laser Jump
Strategy: All you really need to do is stick to one side of the room and jump over it. It will bounce off the wall to the side of you saving you the exra jumps.

Crate Chaos:
In Crate Chaos, you will be bouncing on off the explosions of giant TNT crates. This is one of the more difficult minigames.

Epic Crater: Survive for 100 seconds in Crate Chaos
Strategy: This minigame revolves around your air control, and this can get difficult when you're exploding. To help with this, you should aim for the center of crates upon land. Try Power Braking over crates to stop your Orb from spinning around on contact.

Miscellaneous Achievements

These are, in my opinion, the easiest spots to get these achievements. You may get these achievements randomly through your gameplay.

Speed Demon: Reach a speed of 100 mph
Level: Barren Dessert Stage
Description: Simply hit any three boosters in a row will unlock this achievement. This ramp should get the unlock.

Free Bird: Pull off 7 seconds of air time
Level: Towering Mountain Stage
Description: This was my least favorite achievement in this game. From my understanding this will not unlock often, and this is my only solution. Base jumping off the tallest pillar in this level is the only way. Ramping directly off where my screenshot is aiming along with 2 power breaks to slow your fall will unlock this achievement.

The Impossible: Clear every stage in order with no fallouts
Description: This is not the hardest achievement to get in the game, and you shouldn't be deterred. With a small amount of effort you can get this with your play through. Play the levels like you usually would just restart the level you're on if you die.

A couple useful skips with double jump:
- Barren Desert: go down the slope to your left, then go back up the slope, jump and double jump at the right time to skip the whole first section.
- Volcanic Crater: go on the first step up to the locked door, jump at the tiny rocky platform to your left (which is "blocked" by the falling plate) aiming at the rocky ceiling of it. When returning, again jump up at the ceiling and make it back to the central platform from there. Again, whole first section skipped.
- Towering Mountain: honestly not sure how you're supposed to do the section where you encounter the first speed boost of the level. My way is to angle my camera a bit to the right and aim at the jutting rock that forms part of the wall. Use the double jump and hit it to redirect yourself on the higher level that has the next button.
- Space Complex: many gates can be skipped by just ramming into them, jumping and double jumping at the right time.

For anyone attempting The Impossible, here are a few tips:
- You can't go back to the main menu to change your ability. Learned this the hard way.
- Double jump in my opinion is the most useful as it allows for a couple skips that drastically lower the time and frustration spent on levels, although it does make the final big jump much harder in Barren Desert, Sky Fortress and Space Complex, but after a bit of practice these can be done quite consistently. But they are super frustrating.
- This is crucial: your horizontal acceleration when you press the arrow keys DEPENDS ON THE ANGLE OF YOUR CAMERA. For the most acceleration, place your camera horizontally.

You can get free bird by just creating a very high level lol

i googled the achievement, multiple people claim you won't get it if you don't do it in a single sitting,. i know that you're allowed to reset, i wasn't talking about that anyway. doing all stages without mistakes? challenging. having to do them all at once? overkill.

Expert [author] 26 Aug, 2016 @ 7:47am

I do think you can set down the game and come back to it at a later date. Just with my experience, I did it in a single sitting. It is worth mentioning that you simply reset the level you're on to still be eligible for the achievement upon death.

some rando 26 Aug, 2016 @ 5:08am

the impossible is asking too much. if you could stop playing in between levels and continue later it would be fair enough, but having to do them all in one sitting is unreasonable. so respectfully, i disagree with it not being the hardest to get

Expert [author] 14 Jun, 2016 @ 2:02pm

BlaXpirit has the right idea. You can just simply reset the level that you're attempting to beat if you end up dying. You may not complete the level using checkpoints if you'd like to earn the achieve. There is no need to repeat past levels, just the one you failed to do in one life.

LastNonak 11 Jun, 2016 @ 4:50am

Wait ^^ Does this mean, you can die on a level and still will be able to get the achievement by repeating it? You don`t have to repeat the whole game then?

BlaXpirit 22 Feb, 2016 @ 3:05am

I confirm what you're saying about the no-death achievement. I did it in one sitting, using "power brake" (it's more important than double jump on the last level, which I learned the hard way). I died more than a few times, even used "restart from checkpoint" for practice, but of course restarting the level afterwards.
But uh "This is not the hardest achievement to get in the game" is crazy talk.

BlaXpirit 14 Feb, 2016 @ 2:15am

I just got the Free Bird achievement at the Arena, while being totally swarmed by those balls. I think an important part of it was being on top of them and not touching the ground.
