Verlet Swing: 100% Achievement Guide – Verlet Swing

This guide will show where to get the achievements as early as possible.
If you have found an earlier level to get an achievement, let me know in the comments!

NOTE: Most of this game’s achievements come from beating levels (More than half of them), so the most important thing you need is to practice. Because of this, this guide won’t be of much help, except for a few cases. Still, I hope it can help you!

Museum trip: Complete Checkmate, History
After level 20 “Maze Runner”.

Went very, very, very, very fast: Reach more than 130km/h
Level 26 “Bubble Trouble”.

If you touch a bubble, you’ll bounce with more speed. Try to hit one from above and fall into another one, getting more speed than needed for the achievement.

You could also bounce between two bubbles, but it may be more difficult.

If you’re having trouble, it could be easier in Level 49 “Catch a ride!”


Ouch, that hurt: Die while moving really fast
Die after getting the +130km/h required for the previous achievement.

It was wet: Complete Mobymart
After level 40 “Tunnel II”.

Now I’m hungry: Complete Nimis Non Laute
After Level 60 “Waste Disposal”.

Wait, how far does this go?: Hook something extremely far away
Level 72 “Singularity”.

Hook to the bottom of this computer. Beware that you’ll first hook to the orb in front of you so just wait a moment.


Turned it off, then back on again: Complete Wondercon 1998
After Level 80 “Tunnel III”.

(It’s Crimson because it resembles hell, isn’t it?)
Remember that Daikatana ad, “John Romero’s About To Make You His B****”? That’s what this section wants to say.

Just one more attempt mom!: Die 50 times in the same level
Honestly you can get it in any level of this section. For me it was in Level 87 “Thorns”.

It turns any children into grown ups. Game was on easy mode until this very moment where your swiftness and aim are put to the test. The goal will tease you a lot because you’ll die a lot of times near it. It’s a trial by fire.

But it may seem like not such a big deal after the next levels…

An eye for an eye: Enter through the goat eye in The Depths
Level 90, “The Depths”. (You can leave this one for later)

You can see it from the start.
The problem is that, apart from getting through that goat’s eye, you NEED to get to the finish line.

Here’s a video showing how. Go to 16:01:

Event Horizon: Find the Julbock’s hidden entrance!
Level 93, “Julbock”. (You can leave this one for later too)

Get to its rear, hook to its last vertebrae and swing inside.

Here’s a video showing how:

How did I even get here?: Complete Crimson Court
After Level 100 “Sorry”.

I forgive you: I beat the final level and all I got was this crappy achievement
At least you have bragging rights, I guess.

I’d say you’re ready to go back to all the levels and get perfect rankings.

If you need help, here’s this video. It will help you with every achievement in this section (and also if you’re stuck in a level):

“Git gud” too.

When it loads, Right click to look around and access the other commands:

In the bottom you’ll see some items. Select some and drag them around.
(Who would’ve thought you were a head all along!)

Then hit Save on the top to get:

After that, when you’re masterpiece is ready, hit Publish:
