When i tried the trial version of the game i was amazed. I didn't expect it to be so good and fun to play. Graphics and music are nicely done but what intrigued me most was the idea that i was inside a human body.

The game is fairly easy in my opinion but it has a few moments that you will die a lot if you do not choose the right armament for your ship and your play-style.

 

CONTROLS:

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/ls.png : Move your ship around

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png : Shooting (directional)

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/lt.png /http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rt.png : Auxiliary item (at start you have only one so press either of those. At a later stage you will be able to have 2 auxiliary items. Buttons correspond to left/right auxiliary)

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/lb.png /http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rb.png : Display Map

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/start.png : Pause game/menu

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png : Confirm (Menus only)

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/x.png : Upgrade menu (Available only at upgrade posts)

 

 

Transmission achievement is glitched and will not unlock if you played the trial version first and bought the game after.

Some people reported that they had no problem with that as it unlocked after replaying the 1st level while others still had problem unlocking it (me also). If it will not unlock (as in my case i tried 4 times) then in order to get this achievement you have to exit the game and go to the dashboard. Then load the game and start over. The achievement will pop-up. If it not then As a last resort to fix that is to delete the game and download it again. Then simply load the game and start over.

 

Breakthrough

 

It is possible to collect 170http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png in your 1st playthrough and get the rest 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png on the challenge mode for a total of 200http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png.

 

But i will guide you to a more simple and easy method. (Spoilers ahead)

 

My best advice is to not try the Loco Motion on your first playthrough because you can do it at any time at stage 1-2. It requires to do do a speed run equipped only with moving parts and is very easy to do so no worries .... just have fun with the game and do it after you finished the game.

Start the game and as soon you Enter the Body the achievement will pop up. Cold Blooded and Amoxicillin will come over time so do not worry about them as they require to kill specific enemies that you can find all over the game and in great numbers. It is essential to know that If you want to go for the Up and Atom you must not spend your atoms as it requires 50,000 atoms at hand and the ones spend on upgrades do not count towards it. My advice is to only Upgrade your main guns (the ones you start with) and if you like more speed you can upgrade the engine. You can still upgrade these two to max level and near the middle of the 4th level (4-2) you will have the achievement and after that you can upgrade anything you like. If you do not want to do this you can replay any level at any time to collect the 50,000 atoms.

When you find the last upgrade shop on level 1-2 you will have the ability to equip an auxiliary item. Pause the game and connect a second controller. Equip the Link Gun on your ship and soon you will have the Team Player achievement. If you want to do this in a second playthrough then if you already collected all parts for the guns and auxiliary you will still miss the Link Gun. When you join a second controller the Micromania achievement will pop up.

When you will have your 1st (max) level 3 upgrade equip it to all your ships slots to get the Fully Buffed. Then equip your favorite equipment and continue with the game.

Diving Deeper will unlock when you finish the 1st of the 5 levels and upon completion of the game you will get the Alive or Dead? achievement.

Upon collecting all bucky balls Fullerene will unlock. (See the video guide below) If you miss some do not worry just reload any stage you like to collect them. If you collect a ball and leave the game it does not count as it is not saved. To save the collected ball you have to finish the level or go to an upgrade post.

 

Now you only miss the Survivor achievement which is to complete 3 rounds in Challenge mode which is self explained. Go to challenge mode and do it. :-)

 

 

 

 

Achievement Guide

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1664/-AFo7w==.jpg Cold Blooded 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

. Kill 25 nanite enemies that emerge when you kill host organisms.

 

This will unlock through game progress and you do not have to worry about it because you will encounter a lot of them. Nanite enemies are the tiny ships that shoot red bullets and will emerge after you killed a bigger one.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1664/-eGQfA==.jpg Fully Buffed 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

. Equip a bot with only max level parts.

 

Self explained. It will come eventually through time BUT if you want to unlock it faster when you have any ONE of the upgrades to max level just equip it to all your available slots in your ship. The achievement will pop up and then you can equip anything you want and continue with the game.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1664/+EN7hQ==.jpg Amoxicillin 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

. Kill 1000 Bacteria.

 

Self explained. It will come eventually through time. Bacteria are the harmless yellow-greenish microorganisms you will see floating around.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1664/+NqCSg==.jpg Transmission 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

. Enter the body.

Start the game and it will pop up in a matter of seconds.

(Note: This is glitched if you played the trial version and then bought the game. To unlock it first try to replay the first level. If it will not unlock then exit to Dashboard and load the game again. If after all these still you do not have the achievement then as a last resort delete the game and download it again. Then start over again.)

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1664/+Tp62Q==.jpg Diving Deeper 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

. Complete the 1st of 5 worlds.

 

Self explained. Cannot be missed.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1664/-iBhWg==.jpg Loco Motion 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png. Beat a level using only movement parts.

 

For this one you have to complete a level by equipping in all your ships slots only movement parts such as paddles, flagelums, rotors, or hydrojets. You can do this easily on level 1-2 at any time. Just reload this part of the game when you feel doing it. Remember to equip only engines before you load the map.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1664/+UVmPg==.jpg Survivor 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

. Beat 3 rounds in Challenge Mode.

 

Self explained. Challenge mode is not available at first. As you progress through the game you will unlock the stages for the Challenge Mode. Beat 3 rounds and will pop up. I recommend to do this after you finish the main game because all upgrades and equipment carry over to challenge mode. This is a great help because on Challenge mode you only have 1 life.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1664/+xtzbA==.jpg Team Player 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

. Kill 25 enemies while using the Co-op Link Gun.

For this one you will need a friend to play with you. (It can also be done alone with a second controller alone but is fun with a friend.) You have to equip the Co-op Link Gun on your auxiliary slot. (if you try this alone you only need to equip it on your ship).

Keep the ships close together and fire the link gun using the appropriate auxiliary button and then drag the "link" on an enemy. Continue doing this until you kill 25 enemies. It is easily done on the first level when you get the auxiliary slot. Stay near the upgrade post and enemies will re-spawn continuously. If your teammate dies no worry, he will re spawn after a few seconds.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1664/+aODFg==.jpg Fullerene 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

. Collect all 20 Bucky Balls.

You have to collect all Bucky balls. This is not difficult as you will find them easily. If you have trouble doing it watch the videos below.

Note: If you leave the map upon collecting a ball then you have to replay the level. To save the ball you just collected you have to finish the level. This is not a problem as most of them are near the exit of the level. Alternatively you can enter and exit an upgrade post to save the collected ball.

 

Part 1

(stages 1-1 to 3-3)

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3y-0EpC51A]YouTube - MicroBot Fullerene achievement (Part 1 of 2).flv[/ame]

 

 

Part 2

(stages 3-4 to 5-4)

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZzM0cBxQwE]YouTube - MicroBot Fullerene achievement (Part 2 of 2).flv[/ame]

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1664/+4KKow==.jpg Up and Atom 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

. Amass 50,000 Atoms.

Atoms is the currency of the game. You use these for buying upgrades. For the achievement you need to have the hole amount at once. The atoms you spend for upgrades DO NOT count. So keep your atoms until you reach the 50,000 and only upgrade what is necessary for you to keep passing the stages. After you get the achievement spend them as you like. You can collect more atoms after you finished the game by just reloading previous levels so if you want you can play the game as you like and after you complete it just replay some levels to acquire the atoms needed.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1664/+mJyMA==.jpg Micromania 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

. Collect 'em all - parts, that is.

 

You have to collect all weapons and auxiliary. Basically you will need all upgrades plus the link gun witch is available only in Co-op mode. If you already have all others and you miss this one just join a second controller and it will pop up immediately. To find all the pieces for the upgrades you have to kill certain enemies. Actually you have to kill enemies that have equipped the weapon you need the parts of. (e.g. If you need the Shield then you kill enemies with shield, if you need the Gas then you kill enemies who through gas and so on. Some upgrade parts are also located around the levels.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1664/+KWerQ==.jpg Alive or Dead? 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

. Find the source of the hostiles and destroy it.

 

Just finish the game and it will pop up after the boss battle.

i am not promising anything because it will take some time to play it again on a second profile (due to New years eve) because on my original profile i cannot see the bucky balls that i already collected (all of them actually). If i find some time i will make a video tutorial about them. Until then as advice i would say.

 

On the first 3 of the 4 levels on every stage you will find them in the room just before the exit teleport. On the fourth level of every stage you will find it at the beginning ... usually on the 1st or 2nd room.

1 or 2 balls are behind breakable things so break everything you find.

The puzzles on 3~4 balls of them are very easy to solve. (if anyone need help to solve a puzzle, post here and i will help, until i will be able to make a video tutorial)

 

If somebody else have made a bucky ball tutorial i would be grateful and happy to post it in my guide.

 

Until then ... HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL AND YOUR FAMILIES!

How long does it take to finish the game?

Just wondering?

 

I think it took me about 8 hours to max it out. Played half of the game in coop.

 

@Throrin: You can just drop in with a second profile and replay a level. Drop out with the second profile at the beginning and the Bucky Balls will still be visible.

 

 

I think the Bucky Balls are easy to find but I made a small guide. Just as Throrin said most of the Bucky Balls are in the area before the exit. Because of the fact that most of the levels are kind of randomly generated I cannot give an exact location.

 

Bucky Ball locations

 

1-1 last area before the exit

1-2 last area before the exit

1-3 last area before the exit (3 switches)

1-4 after the boss fight on the right side of the room

 

2-1 last area before the exit (in the small maze)

2-2 follow the first blue arrow on the map

2-3 right before the exit

2-4 small area to the right

 

3-1 room before last area (there is an "ambush")

3-2 last area before the exit (destroy the red "bubbles")

3-3 last area before the exit (shoot at a switch to open the gate)

3-4 after the boss fight the upper wall opens

 

4-1 last area before the exit (shoot the switch near the four yellow balls)

4-2 small puzzle before the exit (shoot the lowest one and then use hydro-nuke on the remaining two)

4-3 last area before the exit (shoot the four switches and then the bubble in the center)

4-4 after the boss fight shoot at the switch right before the exit to open a gate on the right side of the boss room

 

5-1 follow the first blue arrow on the map

5-2 follow the first blue arrow on the map (shot at the switch until the Bucky Ball comes out)

5-3 at the bottom of the first area

5-4 you have to wait until the boss is coming after you - grab the Bucky Ball before you kill him

 

I hope this helps! (and sorry if there are any mistakes, i usually don't write in english..)

 

 

Cheers!

Having a nightmare with buckyball three.

It looks as if I have to trigger a switch to release a glowing ball thingy then in quick succession trigger two more switch to provide a clear path through to the catcher. This will then open a wall and allow access to the buckyball.

I've tried this again and again but the ball either falls short or doesn't even enter the first gate. I have no idea what I am doing wrong but I have been at it for an hour now. I even tried towing it with the harpoon, changing weapon & motor load outs. I can't work it out ... Anyone have any ideas?

Road Map updated and is now complete with a breakdown section.

(Note: I will try today to record a walkthrough video for the Bucky balls)

 

Excellent guide - Quick question about the BuckyBalls though: Can you tell which Ball you have collected and on which stage in-game?

 

Sorry But NO! :-(

 

 

Having a nightmare with buckyball three......

Open them from left to right. (open the furthest 1st, then the middle and last the one close to the ball that needs to travel to the switch)

Yep i know i forgot to update the post .... because i am in progress to make a video guide about the bucky balls i just need to record a few more and then edit the video. Hope i finish it today (or latest is tomorrow).

 

I made the correction on the road map for the time being.

 

Thank you again for your help my friend. (i credited your help on my guide).

 

is it possible to make a (mini) guide how to get all the upgrades (what to kill for what weapon or part)

 

Sorry my friend but it is not possible to make a guide about that. The drops are random and cannot point you to a location. But i updated the info on the achievement on what you have to kill. Basically you kill the enemies that have equipped the part that you need.

================================

EDIT:

 

Video recordings of the Bucky Balls Locations are done. I just need to edit the videos to 1 file and upload it to youtube and to post it here .... of course. This however is going to be ready tomorrow (approximately in 14~15 hours from now) because in Greece the time is 1:00 AM and i have to go to sleep.

Sorry about keeping you wait a little longer!

Does anyone know what's the best way to defeat the boss on 2-4? I use 2 electron guns and 2 lancets so it takes a lot to bring my microbot down for those melee enemies but the boss just doesn't die. I'm saving my atoms for the achievement (I got 35k now) so I'd rather not upgrade. Any ideas?
