BeforeJam · June 28, 2017

Hi, I am BeforeJam and this is my guide for ★★★★★ 1000 Top Rated. If you liked this guide, feel free to sign up and contribute. We have a great community here and I could not have written this guide without their help.

Overview:

Estimated trophy difficulty: 1/10.
Offline trophies: 22 (14(S), 7(G), 1(P))
Online trophies: 0
Approximate amount of time to platinum: Less than 20 minutes.
Minimum number of playthroughs: 10: 1 easy, 1 medium, 1 hard, plus 2 more of any difficulty and 5 more after that, which you do not have to solve.
Number of missable trophies: 3 – First Break, Close One and Record Hunter are missable if you somehow get amazing, unbeatable times for all the puzzle difficulties on the first try.
Glitched trophies: 3 - First Break, Close One and Record Hunter are all glitched, but still unlockable.
Does difficulty affect trophies?: Yes, you must finish an easy, medium and hard puzzle

Note: as of June 28, 2017, this game has been pulled by Sony from the PlayStation Store, rather hilariously less than 24 hours after launch. If you have the game on your account, you can still download it and play it. But if not, there is no way to buy this game and add it to your PS4.

Welcome to ★★★★★ 1000 Top Rated, a game with a positively marvelous title specifically designed for earning trophies. You should have no problems at all earning all of the trophies for this game, it’s super simple. It’s currently priced at ninety-eight cents on the US PlayStation Store, in case you were wondering how much it costs to get a shameful platinum trophy.

It's a slide puzzle game with 1000 stock images that are randomly cycled through. That's literally it. This is from the same top minds that stuck 100 stock images into a thirty dollar package of themes and avatars and threw it up onto the PlayStation Store. But hey, at least this time we get a platinum trophy out of it, and at ninety-eight cents, why not download this wee game which somehow, amazingly occupies two gigabytes of storage space?

This game is a simple slide puzzle with three difficulties. Each difficulty has the exact same scramble, they're not randomly generated. This means that each puzzle difficulty has its own solution that works universally with that difficulty, no matter how many times you select that difficulty. See It’s a Start, Getting There, and Hard One for each of easy, medium and hard difficulty's solution.

Step 1: Complete each trophy

Each trophy’s requirements are not difficult in the slightest. Simply put, you must do the following things, in the order that I recommend doing them:

Take more than two minutes to solve a puzzle. (Taking Time)
Beat your record time by less than one second. (Close One) (Note: Glitched; this part is not required)
Beat your record time twice on a puzzle. (Record Hunter)
Solve a puzzle of each difficulty. (It’s a Start, Getting There, and Hard One)
Solve five different puzzles. (Puzzle Legend)
Open ten different puzzles. (I am the Puzzle Starter Kappa)

During this step, you will earn all of the trophies in the game.

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/5992/79e.jpg First Break

Improve your best result for first time.

GLITCHED AND MISSABLE

Currently, this trophy is coded so that its requirements actually unlock Close One and Record Hunter. See Record Hunter as for the real requirements to unlock this trophy.

You must improve your best time on a puzzle. For best results, wait a duration of time before finishing one puzzle (combine this with Taking Time for convenience).

After that, complete the puzzle, then select it again from the menu and finish it in less time than you did the first time. The trophy will unlock immediately after.

Note that this trophy is missable if you somehow get amazing, unbeatable times for all the puzzles on the first try. You will likely not have to worry about this, but keep it in mind anyway.

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/5992/532.jpg Close One

Improve your best result by one or less second.

GLITCHED AND MISSABLE

Currently, this trophy is not coded correctly. See First Break as for the real requirements to unlock this trophy. The below requirements are written as if this trophy is not glitched.

You must improve your best time by a minimal amount, one or less second. Each puzzle has a timer in the top right corner. First, complete any puzzle (see either It’s a Start, Getting There, or Hard One for solutions). Then, record the time you got for that puzzle.

After that, return to it and input all of the buttons required to finish it except for the last one. Wait for the timer to reach three seconds before your best time, then input the last button required to finish the puzzle. The reason three seconds are needed are because of a delay between the last movement and when the game registers the completion of the puzzle.

If done correctly, you should complete the puzzle in less than one second of time fewer than your record. The trophy will unlock immediately after.

Note that this trophy is missable if you somehow get amazing, unbeatable times for all the puzzles on the first try. You will likely not have to worry about this, but keep it in mind anyway.

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/5992/180.jpg Record Hunter

Improve your best time for 2 times.

GLITCHED AND MISSABLE

Currently, this trophy is coded so that its requirements actually unlock First Break. See First Break as for the real requirements to unlock this trophy.

Similar to First Break, you must improve your best time twice. This can either be on one puzzle difficulty or two. For best results, wait a duration of time before finishing one puzzle (combine this with Taking Time for convenience).

After that, complete the puzzle, then select it again from the menu and finish it in less time than you did the first time. Repeat this for a second puzzle, and the trophy will unlock immediately after.

Note that this trophy is missable if you somehow get amazing, unbeatable times for all the puzzles on the first try. You will likely not have to worry about this, but keep it in mind anyway.

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/5992/ae9.jpg Taking Time

Solve a puzzle in more than 2 min.

Open any puzzle. Before solving it (see either It’s a Start, Getting There, or Hard One for solutions), wait a total of two minutes. Simply put the controller down.

After waiting for two minutes. Solve the puzzle. The trophy will unlock immediately after.
