To get the full 200 points you need 2 playtroughs. On the first one you just have to beat the game with all puzzle pieces and getting to the final stage. The second one will be your speedrun. This may take 1-3 tries and gets you really frustrated.

1.Playthrough:
Use the achievement guide and videos on youtube to get all pieces in every level and beat the final stage. This is really easy if you know what to do. It should take about 2-5 hours depending on how much you use the guide. But remember, going through it without even doing it by yourself will take all the fun out of it. Please only use it, if you just don't know what to do.

2.Playthrough:
This will be for the last and the only hard achievement in the game. Beating the whole thing in under 45 minutes can be really tough to get. Before you do it, watch the videos, so you know what you're doing. This may take some tries. If you are skilled enough or get lucky you might do it on your first try.

There are 12 achievements with a total of 200 points

  • Travel all the way across World 2.

    World 2 is the first world you'll have access to in the game. The first level is a simple tutorial and the remaining ones have no twists in them. The game pretty much plays itself at this point. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

    There are 4 levels with a total of 12 puzzle pieces.
    Three Easy Pieces (3 Puzzle Pieces)
    The Cloud Bridge (4 Puzzle Pieces)
    Hunt! (1 Puzzle Piece)
    Leap of Faith (4 Puzzle Pieces)

    See the achievement "Solved World 2" for help on completing the level/getting all puzzle pieces.

  • Travel all the way across World 3.

    World 3 is the second world you'll have access to in the game. The levels aren't too difficult but now anything with a green aura is immune to your time travel abilities. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

    There are 8 levels with a total of 12 puzzle pieces.
    The Pit (No Pieces)
    There and Back Again (1 Puzzle Piece)
    Phase (2 Puzzle Pieces)
    The Ground Beneath Her Feet (2 Puzzle Pieces)

    See the achievement "Solved World 3" for help on completing the level/getting all puzzle pieces.

  • Travel all the way across World 4.

    World 4 is the third world you'll have access to in the game. The levels begin to get more and more confusing, now enemies will move based off how you move and time will change based off the direction you move. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

    There are 7 levels with a total of 12 puzzle pieces.
    The Pit (No Pieces)
    Jumpman (3 Puzzle Pieces)

  • Travel all the way across World 5.

    World 5 is the fourth world you'll have access to in the game. I actually found the 5th world easier than the 4th, you control a shadow of yourself who does basically whatever you do when you rewind time. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

    There are 7 levels with a total of 12 puzzle pieces.
    The Pit (1 Puzzle Piece)
    So Distant (2 Puzzle Pieces)
    [Unnamed] (2 Puzzle Pieces)

    Fragile Companion (1 Puzzle Piece)

    See the achievement "Solved World 5" for help on completing the level/getting all puzzle pieces.

  • Travel all the way across World 6.

    World 6 is the fifth world you'll have access to in the game. The levels are difficult as hell now, you get a ring that will make everything near it slower, this seems easier but since the game now wants you to have quick reflexes and perfect timing things can get tricky. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

    There are 7 levels with a total of 14 puzzle pieces.
    The Pit? (No Pieces)
    Phase? (2 Puzzle Pieces)
    Cascade (3 Puzzle Pieces)
    Impassible Foliage (3 Puzzle Pieces)
    Movement by Degrees (2 Puzzle Pieces)
    Elevator Action (3 Puzzle Pieces)
    In Another Castle (1 Puzzle Pieces)

  • Fit together all the world 3 puzzle pieces and align the puzzle in its frame.

    Collect all the puzzle pieces in the world and then finish the puzzle in the main room to unlock the achievement.

  • Complete the game.

    After you've completed all the puzzles of Worlds 2-6 go to the level select screen and climb all the way to the top of the ladder. From here you can access World 1, World 1 is fairly simple but everything goes in reverse.

    Since I'm too lazy/tired to type everything out... here's a video.

  • Complete a full speed run of the entire game, beating the challenge time.

    Once you've finished the entire game (after receiving the achievement "Closure") go into the main menu by hitting start and then select "Speed Runs." From here select "Full Game." Now you've got 45 minutes to beat the game (collecting every puzzle piece mind you) this isn't impossible to do but it may take two or three tries at the minimum.

    My times when I finished the game in 44:56 (phew!) were...
    4:06 to complete world 2's puzzle
    8:52 to complete world 3's puzzle
    18:34 to complete world 4's puzzle
    30:42 to complete world 5's puzzle
    39:58 to complete world 6's puzzle
    44:56 to complete world 1

    The main thing to remember is simply to go as fast as possible and know exactly how to do each level as quickly as possible. I made what I would assume is a perfect run and only just barely finished. Solve the puzzles as soon as you get the last piece and end up in the house, they don't count towards your time taken.

    You can't use the menu to do "Return to Clouds" so when you have to go back to level 2-2 to get the two missing puzzle pieces you have to continue through 2-3 and 2-4. This also gets annoying when you screw up on a mission that you can't fix (like Irreversible.)
