Drake OPhile Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 -Estimated achievement difficulty: 5/10 -Offline 775/1000 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg -Online 225/1000 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg -Approximate amount of time to 1000 20-24 hours (depends on skill, some luck) -Minimum number of playthroughs needed 1 (you can replay individual levels) -Number of missable achievements None! -Do cheat codes disable achievements? No cheats -Does difficulty affect achievements? No. -Glitchy achievements None! -Unobtainable achievements None! -Extra equipment needed? Xbox Live Silver is required for online achievements. Introduction: Create is a pseudo-3D two-dimensional puzzle game that looks and feels like a nostalgic reimagining of the old PC classic The Incredible Machine. Create lets the player solve object-based puzzles as well as offering tons of opportunities to let your imagination go crazy by building all sorts of contraptions and Rube Goldberg devices full of vehicles, balloons, furniture, firearms, and all sorts of other objects! The game also features a Little Big Planet-ish twist where new objects and creative tools are unlocked by collecting "Sparks", Create's form of redemption tickets. Each Spark unlocks one new object. Playthrough: Create is not a hard game (though it can be challenging at times), it will just merely take a while to complete. There are 141 challenges in the game and each one has to be completed with its highest score (where applicable) to collect all 610 Sparks in the game. This can be tedious, but Create is such an engaging game you'll quickly find yourself going "just one more level" at 3AM. Save for a few particularly hard levels the majority of the game is easy and fun, just time consuming. Clean Up: You do not have to complete each challenge with the top score on your first play through, you can go back and revisit any world at any time and try any challenge again. Create saves your last setup for each challenge so you can fine-tune your solutions at a later time if you choose to do so. There are a number of achievements that have goofy requirements (eat 50 pieces of toast, pop 100 balloons) that you may obtain during your first play through of the game. If not you can go back to any open-ended challenge and do a quick grind. Online: There are 14 online achievements in Create, most of which are relatively easy and won't take up much time at all. If you do not have Xbox Live then you cannot obtain these achievements, but if you do you can unlock them at any time before, during, or after your play through of the game. Conclusion: Create is one heck of a fun time and it's pretty lighthearted and whimsical to boot. Fans of The Incredible Machine, and possibly Little Big Planet, will find something to enjoy as will any puzzle fanatic. It's not a very hard 1000/1000 to obtain but it is an undertaking that'll eat up quite a bit of your free time. --------------- Give Something Back 10G Upload a Creation To upload a creation all you have to do is upload either something you've made in any overworld or Free Create.

Drake OPhile Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) A Monster Start 10G Solve your first Challenge Upon starting Create you'll be tossed right into the overworld where the game will give you a quick rundown of what you are supposed to do. Follow the instructions and your first challenge will unlock (it's on the brick wall right under the "create" marquee). This challenge requires you to place a ramp so the monster truck can drive over the logo; follow the directions and you will complete the challenge.

Welcome to Future World II 20G Unlock Future World II Story related achievement, will unlock with natural progression of the game. New worlds are unlocked when you have collected enough Sparks. You can check the requirements of any level by hovering your pointer over it and taking notice of the number. You earn Sparks by completing challenges and chains; more information on these are provided in the guide for the "Bright Spark" achievement. Centurion 20G Collect 100 Sparks See "Bright Spark". We Love 284 40G Collect 284 Sparks See "Bright Spark". Only 109 to Go! 60G Collect 501 Sparks See "Bright Spark". Bright Spark 120G Collect all 610 Sparks Arguably the most difficult achievement in the game, but not impossible to accomplish. To collect every Spark you MUST complete every challenge in every world at or above the top tier score and you also MUST complete all 5 chains on each overworld. There are various types of challenges, below are some tips for each of them: Object Challenge - These challenges require you to do something with a "key item" (denoted with a crown and a neon box). You either have to move it somewhere, protect it, or otherwise interact with it in some form. For the first few worlds the game will use these challenges as tutorials for how to use certain tools and objects. In later levels you will have to use what you've learned to accomplish each task with a given inventory. Because each of these challenges are unique there is not any universal advice, instead try to familiarize yourself with the "common" objects in the game (ramps, balloons, bouncers, teleporters, etc) because you will frequently receive these in your inventory. Pickup Party - These challenges are a harder form of the Object Challenge, though sometimes you are given free rein to your entire inventory of unlocked goods. To earn Sparks in these challenges you will have to touch them with the target object. The Sparks are usually in plain sight and on most occasions they can be reached with a well-placed spring-loaded ramp or a bouncer. If you're allowed to use teleporters don't pass on them, use them to "cheat" and easily nab out of the way Sparks. Contraptions - These challenges require you to build either a mobile or immobile device to move, protect, or guide a given object. To make a moving device you can only connect the girder and wheels, you cannot use the blue pieces as they will pass through the girders, they do not interlock (you need to use the hinge piece to make a free-swinging attachment. To make immobile devices like bridges or shields you can use the blue blocks, but no wheels or girders (again, they do not interlock with each other you need to use a hinge). Usually you can get away with making relatively simple devices that only take a few parts and some trial and error to complete, especially on challenges where you have to carry something to a goal. If you have to make a bridge, remember to build braces for it so it can "hug" the walls and floor and stay put! Scoretastic - By far the hardest type of challenge in the game, if not the most frustrating. Scoretastic challenges give you a key object that you must move along a gauntlet of hazards to reach a goal. You score points by touching "new objects" (objects the key object has not touched during this challenge), getting the key to do flips or air time, grabbing gems, and for interacting with certain objects (glue, bouncers, balloons, etc). For their difficulty, though, it is very easy to cheat at them. Once you unlock the Bouncer object (the orange circle that looks like a pinball bumper) you can place lots of these in your challenge to rack up a strong multiplier and earn crazy points for flips and each bounce. You can also abuse the Teleporter item (the two purple orbs connected by a tether) to effortlessly toss your key item across the level by stringing multiple teleports end to end. Generally by trapping your key item in small groups of Bouncers for short periods of time you can quickly reach the target score, then follow it up by either setting up a traditional arrangement to carry the item or just using the teleporter trick. Chains - There are 5 Sparks on each overworld unlocked by completing "chains". These are unofficial challenges that show up at random while you are working in a given overworld or completing challenges. You may notice periodically that a column of light shows up somewhere in the overworld. This is a chain. To start it, look at the top left of your screen and you'll see an icon for a specific customization tool. Select this tool (props, texture paint, stickers, flower paint, or background stickers) and place the objects close to where the column of light is. When you place enough items the light will move. Follow it around and continue to complete its requests and eventually it will give you a Spark. It's best to do these side-missions in between challenges. Don't save them until the end because you'll end up having to sit around and wait for them to show up. It would be outrageous to give advice for each and every challenge. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory, though if you ever find yourself stuck you can easily view actual solutions to ANY level by using the "Search" function while browsing user submissions. Simply set the search parameters to match your current overworld and challenge number to view some solutions if you ever get stuck. Many challenges have more than one solution, so find one that works for you and keep tweaking it until you get it right as sometimes you need near pixel-perfect placement in some challenges. Additionally I have been hard at work saving solutions and tricks to unlock achievements under my own EA Create profile. If you search by Gamertag do a search for "Dracophile" and you can check out solutions to lots of tricky levels.

Drake OPhile Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Impressionist 20G Use every brush in Paint mode When you open the paint brush menu there are three options: Flowers, Sky, and Texture. Using the Sky option go all the way to the left (or right) and pick the last brush, then make a mark or doodle, then move on to the next one. Do this all the way across and the achievement should unlock when you reach the other side of brush options. It is best to try this achievement after you obtain all or most of the Sparks as you will unlock new brushes as you progress through the game. On Safari 20G Place all types of animals throughout the game There are 48 animals total. They do not need to be placed all at once, just once at one point in time in the game. It is best to attempt this achievement when you have all or most of the Sparks because new animals are unlocked rather frequently. (Utahraptors, Crocodiles, and Komodo Dragons are the best though!) Raging Debate 10G Place the Create team's favorite animal! You will unlock this while attempting "On Safari", but if you're curious to know what animal it is, it's the penguin. Free Creator 20G Save a Creation or a Challenge from within the Free Create level Free Create is the world denoted by a large spinning star (to the immediate left of the "create" logo in the main overworld). It is unlocked after you complete your first few challenges in the first two worlds of the game. In Free Create you are given every option in the game to create something, literally, from the ground up. You can be as creative as you like, but for a quick achievement just place one piece of land and hit "Save" and the achievement should unlock. Creative Pride 30G Finish five Create Chains within one level See "Bright Spark". Working up an Appetite 15G Eat 50 slices of toast within Challenges (not player generated Challenges) Once you have unlocked the Instant Toaster and Plate objects go to any challenge that lets you use your complete inventory and preferrably one that has a static key object (it helps if you do this in an overworld that has lots of even and flat surfaces). Start the challenge, but rather than complete it place an Instant Toaster anywhere on the map, now place the Plate right next to it. Fill up as much of the available ground as you can with this object pairing and then press Start to begin the challenge. The toasters should launch their toast up into the air and land on the plates. Once this happens press Start to end the challenge, and then again to start it. Keep doing this until the achievement unlocks (you can then exit the challenge). Grand Design 10G Solve a Contraption-o-Matic Challenge with a contraption built of 40 or more parts The 40 parts do not have to belong to one large contraption. Load up any Contraption challenge that gives you 40 or more pieces and construct a vehicle/device that will solve the challenge (you can also just load a completed challenge and start from here). Now, go somewhere out of the way and place all of your remaining parts into one big mess that won't interfere with the challenge objects. Start the challenge and upon completion you will receive the achievement. Michael Multiplier 20G Reach a x20 multiplier in a Scoretacular Challenge The easiest way to do this is by using the Bouncers to cheaply throw your key object back and forth until a 20x multiplier is attained. You do not have to complete the challenge, once you unlock the achievement you can restart or exit. Pop! 10G Burst 100 balloons within Challenges (not player generated Challenges) This should come naturally as you progress through the game, but if it does not and you want to boost the best way to do this is similar to the Toaster method. Load up any challenge where you can use any object and place a row of heavy items (like an Anvil) somewhere. Now attach balloons to all of these objects and above these balloons place a Burster (the spiky metal ball). Start the challenge and wait for the balloons to pop, then stop the challenge and continue restarting it until the achievement unlocks. Blast-off Bedlam 10G Use every type of rocket within Challenges (not player generated Challenges) Depending on how skilled you are with rocket-based objects you may unlock this naturally through the game. If not you can follow suit with the Toaster and Balloon achievements and simply place one of every rocket-type item and upon starting the challenge the achievement should unlock. It is better to attempt this achievement after you've unlocked everything or almost everything as there are many rocket items (such as the Dart Rocket) that require several hundred Sparks to unlock. String 'em Up 10G Attach 50 objects which have string to another game object If you are grinding for the "Pop!" achievement you will get this in the process of doing so, as balloons have strings on them. Items such as the Tow Rocket also count toward this achievement. It should come naturally in the game, though if it does not it will unlock when you grind for "Pop!". Road Trip 15G Drive 2,000 meters in vehicles within Challenges (not player generated Challenges) This will unlock probably before you get to the third or fourth world, especially if you take breaks to fool around with all of the vehicles you unlock early on in the game. If by some chance it does not you can load up any challenge that has long straight ways and let the vehicle of your choosing floor it down the road until the achievement unlocks. Explosive Nature 10G Set off 50 explosions within Challenges (not player generated Challenges) This will definitely come naturally as you progress through the game, likely around the Space world challenges as they feature quite a few mine-based puzzles. Magnetic Personality 10G Solve Challenge 10 in Transportopia entirely with Horseshoe Magnets This can be tricky, but there are tons of solutions available for you to watch on the online Create community. If you do not have access to Live, the best way to accomplish this is to pull the gas can to the left using magnets facing straight down. To accomplish this place a row of them just beside the gas can, high enough so the force of the magnet will cause the can to scoot but NOT lift upward. Once you master this technique all you have to do is copy it until you can drag the can to the parked Sand Buggy and the achievement is yours. Down, but not out 25G Complete a car based Challenge after all its wheels have burst (not player generated Challenges) The easiest missions to attempt this on are the object challenges in the Space world that require you to guide the Moon Buggy to its destination. When you unlock the Space Mine object all you have to do is get the Moon Buggy's front and back wheels to hit a mine and they will break off, likely in one hit if the impact is hard enough. Try to bounce the Moon Buggy back and forth between a cluster of mines like you would with Bouncers in a Scoretastic challenge. Once the wheels are gone you can then use Teleporters or spring-loaded ramps (or other devices) to launch the scrapped car to the goal.

Nozza Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Nice guide but I have 2 things to add... Achievements tiles and paragraphs. So it looks like this: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1587/UP31Z58=.jpgImpressionist 20G Use every brush in Paint mode When you open the paint brush menu there are three options: Flowers, Sky, and Texture. Using the Sky option go all the way to the left (or right) and pick the last brush, then make a mark or doodle, then move on to the next one. Do this all the way across and the achievement should unlock when you reach the other side of brush options. It is best to try this achievement after you obtain all or most of the Sparks as you will unlock new brushes as you progress through the game. The paragraph bit mainly relates to the description of the achievement to then your description. It breaks things up and with the tiles it adds the colour and we know what to look out for etc. Also if you have a wall of text it off putting so paragraphs again will help!

jamie1000013 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Why isn't this guide available under the Achievement Guide page for the game yet? The OP has to submit it in the submission page and then Pants Party or another guide team member processes it and puts it on the site. To OP an easy way of getting the achievement pictures is: Use Firefox and then copy the achievement list and then paste it into one of your posts. This has only worked on firefox for me other browsers seem to only take the text. Feel free to PM me if you need anymore help. Great guide though.

Sigmund666 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 There are some things you can do. Some Spanish guy posted most of the solutions for most levels. Check youtube and search for the following: Nivel x (this might be 1 to 10) isla X (1 to 14) Most solutions give you a nice indication of how to work, you might improvise to make it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake OPhile Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Put in the images and submit it! That way it will show on the games main page. I am not fond of X360A's submission protocol. It is too clunky and I've done it correctly in the past with guides and they get turned down. This guide is here, it is named as such as to attract the attention of passersby, and it is supported with the praise and thoughts of the community so it will always be on the first page of this forum. That's good enough for me. I know I am helping out by having this here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
