Recommended 100% route
Do not 100% each level on sight. Movement unlocks through the story, and later tools open earlier chests.
- Finish the main story from Tick Town
- Buy the Tick Town shop extras, including 2 Dye Flasks and 2 Rainbow Ingots
- Sweep Volcano, Sea, Hills, then Desert with the full movement kit
- Turn in Music Boxes, cards, kittens, glass, and ingots
- Check the 25 Steam achievements before calling the file done
Story first vs clean-up
Prison of the Beast and Veiled Chambers currently have no collectibles. Skip them on the sweep.
Dye flasks and Echoes are optional for trophies and required only if you want a full item clean-up. Current guides say nothing is missable because every listed level can be revisited.
Time estimates do not agree. Official FAQ: about 16 hours. Some trophy pages say 9–12 hours. One guide says about 20 hours. Use 16 hours as the official planning number.
