Hello and welcome to the TrueAchievements walkthrough for Human Fall
Flat. This is a physics based puzzle platformer with some pretty unique,
and at times frustrating, controls, which has the player navigating
through 9 different levels traversing the terrain and completing puzzles
to get to the exit at each level.
This walkthrough will be broken up into sections based on levels, and
one section for achievements you might still need to work on after your
first run through. Each level will have a text and a video walkthrough
accompanied with it.
You're looking at about a 6-8 hour completion on average. It also might
take you a bit to get used to the controls, but I'll cover that in the
general hints and tips. When I started this game the controls honestly
frustrated me to the point where I had to stop playing for a bit, but
once you're used to it you'll be climbing objects in no time.
Speaking of controls, lets head over to the General Hints and Tips so we can dive into the controls in more detail.
Basic Button Controls:
First thing I'm going to do is lay out the control scheme for you. It's pretty basic and minimalistic:
= Jump
= Collapse yourself
= Left arm raise
= Right arm raise
= Move around
= Look around
Gameplay Tutorials:
Here I'm going to outline the key tutorials the game will teach you,
just so you don't have to waste time in game looking at them and get
familiar with them here:
Controlling your arms:
If
you pick up one of the first few walkie talkies, controlling the
positioning of your arms is introduced and it's a very simple topic. You
use the left trigger to raise your left arm and the right trigger to
raise your right arm. Once they're raised, you use the right stick to
look around, and your arm will position itself where it's looking. For
example, if you need to press a button to open a door, hold your arm out
and look at the button to get your arm level with the button.
Climbing:
Now
climbing isn't introduced until level 4 - Mountain, but it's definitely
worth knowing about. If you hold your arms above your head and place
them on top of a ledge, move the right stick down and you'll pull
yourself on top of the ledge if your arms are wrapped over or just at
the top of the ledge. This works the same for ledges higher up. You can
jump up or across to higher or farther ledges and, as long as your hands
or arms are over or just on the edge of the ledge, you can move the
right stick down to pull yourself up on top of the ledge.
The Cheese Method:
Okay so now I'm going to introduce a method that can be used to skip the
majority of the map most of the time if you feel so inclined, or it can
even help you get up to some tricky spots. For at least three
achievements that I can think of you have to make use of this method so
give it some practice as it's very useful.
So essentially this cheese method will let you climb up massive walls
which you'd not be able to get up otherwise. What you need to do is walk
up to a wall with your arms raised up and jump towards the wall. Let go
of one arm and start swinging your body. Tilt the camera so it's
looking up at you. Position it directly in the centre of the screen so
your body is swinging side to side without hitting the wall (if your
camera isn't centred you might tilt a bit and hit the wall, killing your
momentum). Once you've gathered momentum, at the pinnacle of your
swing, try and get the hand that isn't already attached to the wall to
grab onto the wall at a higher point. Once you're attached at a higher
point, you can then let go of the wall with your other hand and raise it
to the level you're on. Repeat until you're over the obstacle you're
trying to get over.
This description is a bit confusing so below is a clip I made showing
the use of the method to skip to the end of the Carry level.
Study it, master it, and you'll be flying through this game.
With the basics out of the way, let's head to the next page to start our adventure.
Just a quick note. There is an achievement for completing the game in one sitting. This means that you cannot exit the game at any point and reload a checkpoint. So keep this in mind if you wish to do all of this in one playthrough.
Video Walkthrough:
Text Walkthrough:
We start off at the first level, Mansion. Right away we can earn two
achievements my either rubber banding your controller or simply holding
it for a bit in one spot. Position your camera so you're facing out into
the great beyond (aka the edge of the map), and walk off. You'll fall
down and fall right back onto the map again, unlocking your first
achievement:
No escape 11 (10)
Fall and respawn once
Unlocked by 26,277 tracked gamers (88% - TA Ratio = 1.06)29,966
Now you can rubber band your controller for a few minutes while facing
the edge of the world and allow your character to walk off 99 more
times, unlocking:
Let it rain 43 (20)
Respawn 100 times
Unlocked by 6,398 tracked gamers (21% - TA Ratio = 2.16)29,966
With those two easy achievements out of the way, we can actually start
playing the game. You can pick up the yellow walkie talkie for a
tutorial but if you read and memorized the hints and tips you won't need
it. Walk up the stairs and push open the doors to reach two more sets
of stairs and our next achievement opportunity. You need to jump from
where you are to the area across the gap. I actually nailed it my first
try when I originally got the achievement and thought "wow this is
easy", but as you can see in the video walkthrough I had a tough time
doing it again, and doing the cheese method is also tough because your
body can go under the platform. So what you need to do is run with your
arms in the air (waving them like you just don't care is optional)
towards the gap and jump as close to the end of the platform as you
possibly can. Once you latch on to the other area, pull yourself up and
you'll unlock:
Mind the gap! 21 (10)
Take a big shortcut in the level "Mansion"
Unlocked by 6,844 tracked gamers (23% - TA Ratio = 2.09)29,966
Now once you're in your new area, you'll see a massive statue of
yourself(?) standing over a fountain. Walk up the stairs to the left or
right of this fountain and walk around to the fence behind the statue
and stand so you're right behind its head. Climb up onto the fence and
then from here, jump and climb on top of the statues head. Once you're
standing on it, you'll unlock:
Pigeon Simulator 19 (10)
Stand on the head of the statue in the intro
Unlocked by 8,143 tracked gamers (27% - TA Ratio = 1.91)29,966
Now jump down and climb back up the stairs and continue on and you'll
see a door with a green exit sign above it. To open this door, simply
hold out your arms so they're pressing both buttons at the same time.
Once you do this, the door will open. Walk through and you'll fall,
unlocking:
Leap of Fail 20 (20)
Complete "Mansion"
Unlocked by 28,988 tracked gamers (97% - TA Ratio = 1.01)29,966
Now on to level 2.
Video Walkthrough:
Text Walkthrough:
When you're done falling, you'll land on level 2. First thing's first,
walk over to the yellow dumpster up against the door. Pull it away from
the door and push it over by the debris surrounding the train. Now walk
behind it, and jump and grab onto the lid of it and allow yourself to
fall back down, opening the lid on it. Now you need to walk over to the
debris and pick up 5 pieces and place them in the dumpster (I'd suggest
using the smallest pieces you can for this as it's easier). Once you
place 5 pieces in, you'll unlock:
Public service 22 (10)
Place 5 pieces of debris in a dumpster
Unlocked by 6,038 tracked gamers (20% - TA Ratio = 2.22)29,963
Now you need to climb in the dumpster and go for a little joyride. It's a
bit awkward and tough to get the dumpster to move, but what I did was
go to either the front or back of it, grab onto it with both arms, and
jump. That way I'd be pushing the dumpster without actually jumping out
of it. I rode it from beside the debris to almost the edge, then turned
around. Repeat this process and you'll get:
Convertible ride 77 (30)
Ride 50m in a dumpster
Unlocked by 4,598 tracked gamers (15% - TA Ratio = 2.55)29,963
You can also track this achievement to see how far you've gone. Now that
those are out of the way, continue through the only door in the area,
and immediately to your right you'll see a bench flipped upside down
(kids these days eh?). Since you're on a roll with being such a good
human, you should take it upon yourself to make this right. Walk in
front of it and grab it and push it forwards to flip it right side up
again. Now the annoying part is getting it up against the wall, as you
can't simply push it from the front. What I did was go to one end of the
bench and pull it as far as I could towards the wall, then went to the
other end of the bench and did the same. I repeated this until the bench
was flush against the wall. Once you do that, you'll get:
Perfectionist 22 (10)
Align a flipped bench with a wall
Unlocked by 6,141 tracked gamers (20% - TA Ratio = 2.21)29,963
Now that you've done your civic duty for the level, turn around and
you'll see some red train cars in an L shape. You'll want to pull the
one that is parallel to the bench you just fixed towards it's yellow
bearings so you're able to push the train car that is parallel with the
door you want to go through onto it's yellow bearings and out of the way
of the door. Once you've done that, head through the door into the next
area. You'll see two more red train cars, one on the ground and one on a
raised platform. Jump on top of the red train car on the ground, and
then jump and pull yourself up to the red train car on the upper level.
Head to the left of this and push the train car off the ledge so you can
proceed through the door it was blocking.
In this next area you'll be in a park with a red box car. What you need
to do is go on the red box car and grab onto the wall. While you're
holding onto the wall, you need to walk to the left, and as you're doing
this, you'll notice the box car moving towards the right (physics!).
Keep doing this, readjusting yourself so you don't fall off, until
you're able to jump to the platform with the next door and push the
button to open the door and head into a hallway where you have to push
another button to open another door to head on through.
Climb up the set of stairs and you'll see three box cars. Climb up the
second set of stairs and walk onto the red box car. Grab onto the pillar
and walk to the right, pushing the box car to the left. You can only go
so far though, so once you reach the end you'll have to go to the
second pillar and repeat. Keep doing this, repositioning if necessary,
until you're able to hop on the box car with wooden planks on either
side of it. From here, hop across to the long box car and walk down it.
Walk up the set of stairs over here, push the button to open the door,
and walk on through. As you're falling, you'll unlock:
Choo Choo! 22 (20)
Complete "Train"
Unlocked by 25,465 tracked gamers (85% - TA Ratio = 1.08)29,963
All aboard! Next stop, level 3!
Video Walkthrough:
Text Walkthrough:
Welcome to level 3, and I'm sure as you can tell by the name of the
level, you're going to be doing a lot of carrying. I'm going to give you
some good news right off the bat as I earned the achievement for
walking 1 km in this level, so odds are you will too. And if not this
one, then level 4 for sure.
Tourist 22 (20)
Travel 1km
Unlocked by 24,376 tracked gamers (81% - TA Ratio = 1.10)29,966
Now back to the fun stuff, first thing you need to do is pick up the box
close to you and place it on the button. Doing this will open the door
to the next area. Now we are going to be setting up for the Tower
achievement, which requires us to stack all 4 boxes in the level on top
of each other. If the text is too hard to follow, definitely use the
video walkthrough for it. The level is broken up into 4 areas, with the
first area being the area you spawn and the last section being the area
with the exit door. Grab the box on the ledge to your left and carry it
back into the area where you spawned. Now grab the box that is currently
on the button and take it off. Grab the box you took from the second
area and place it on the button.
Now before we continue we're gonna take a little pause for another
miscellaneous achievement. Place the box that was previously on the
button in the middle of the door heading to the second area. Head back
to the button and take the box off of it and place it beside it. You'll
notice the other box is holding the door open. Jump on top of the box
stuck in the door and keep walking forward until you limbo through the
door, unlocking:
It's stuck 18 (10)
Jam a door and go through it in "Carry"
Unlocked by 9,470 tracked gamers (32% - TA Ratio = 1.77)29,966
Now go back and place the box you took off the button back onto it to
open the door again. Take the box that was stuck in the door and bring
it into the second area. Now go and grab the box off the button in the
starting area and, while holding it, jump off the edge. You'll fall and
respawn with the box in the second area.
Going
to make a note of this here so you don't think you can do this with any
box. The reason this box respawned here is because this is it's
original spawn. That's why we swapped the original box on the button
with this one.
Now that we have that all straightened out, you need to place the box
from the first area on the button in this area. This will open the door
to the third area and make sure you bring the box that spawns the second
area into this third area. Once you're here, bring this box onto the
lift and push the button on the lift to raise it up. Once you're up top,
place the box on the button to open the door to area four. In this
area, you need to drop down and grab the box. Carry it over to the lift
and push the button on the lift to raise it up. Once you're at the top,
carry the box onto the red box car here and place it at the far left end
of it. You then need to grab onto the wall and walk to the right to
move the box car to the left. Once it's over far enough, grab the box
again and jump over to the ledge and head back into the third area.
Now that you're back in the third area, place the box from the fourth
area on the ground by the ledge that has the door to the second area.
Now you need to place the box from the third area on top of the box from
the fourth area. Once you manage this, jump and pull yourself up onto
the ledge leading to the second area, and grab the box from the third
area off the top of the box from the fourth area. Once you do this,
carry this box back into the second area and drop it. Take the box that
is on the button in the second area and drop it somewhere away from the
box you just brought from the third area. Place the box from the third
area on the button, and carry the box from the first area into the third
area and place it anywhere. Now take the box on the button in the
second area and jump off. You should land back in the third area and
have all four boxes in the third area.
Now you just need to stack all the boxes. Grab two boxes and stack them
on top of each other on ground level up against the ledge that has the
button to open the door to the fourth area. Push the lift button on the
ground level to call the lift back down and grab the only box left on
ground level, take it onto the lift, and push the button on the lift to
take it up to the top. Place the box that you brought with you on the
lift on top of the two boxes that are already stacked, then take the
last box off the button for the fourth area and place it on top of all
three boxes. Once you do this successfully, you'll unlock:
Tower 52 (20)
Stack all 4 boxes in the level "Carry"
Unlocked by 4,490 tracked gamers (15% - TA Ratio = 2.58)29,966
Now for the easy part, finishing the level. Take one of the boxes off
your beautiful tower and place it back on the button to open the door to
area 4. Grab one of the other boxes from your tower and bring it with
you through the door and place it on the button just in front and to the
right of you as soon as you walk into area 4. This will open the door.
Now simply hop across the box car or take the lift, walk through the
door, and as you're falling you'll unlock:
Don't Get a Splinter! 22 (20)
Complete "Carry"
Unlocked by 23,719 tracked gamers (79% - TA Ratio = 1.12)29,966
