Introduction:
After a wormhole is discovered on the outskirts of Mercury, NASA believes that the ships that have gone missing for years have more than likely traveled through the anomaly. It'll be up to two brave pilots, Colin and Chris, and their steady ships, Greetings and Salutations, to investigate the wormhole and discover the truth about what happened to all those fateful voyages that preceded them. When they get to the other side, however, instead of being met with familiar faces, they are met with enemy foes who want nothing more than to take them down. So arm your ships and ready your weapons, as you're about to battle them in an old fashioned game of brick breaker! That's right, the two ships at your command are none other than the two paddles on board in this crack, shatter, and destroy adventure game. You'll play through 40 levels as you collect pick-ups, unlock codices, and most importantly, take down the enemy barriers in your way so you can make it back to Earth safely.
Walkthrough:
This game will require two complete playthroughs of the campaign; one on Normal (the starting difficulty) and one on New Game + (unlocks after you've completed the campaign once).
Step 1: Play through the Campaign in 24 Hours or Less
The first thing you're going to do is play through the campaign. There are 40 levels to complete, none of which are too crazy difficult. As you play, you want to work on getting as high a score as possible for the Codex Collectibles (for In Books) and the S Ranks (for
Notorious), but don't worry too much if you don't get them on this initial playthrough as you'll be able to use level select once the campaign is complete. Be sure to also collect as many power-ups as you can to aid towards those individual trophies (see
Notorious for more information on getting a high score). You'll more than likely unlock a handful during this step, but which ones you do will dependent on play style and a little bit of luck.
You want to keep an eye on your hearts/lives and if/when you lose them all so you can make progress towards Dead Man's Party,
Money for Nothing, and
You Never Give Me Your Money.
You'll earn the following trophies once this step has been completed.
Caught A Glimpse
From Chaos
Black Star Deceiver
Message in a Bottle
Us and Them
Spiderwebs
Easier to Run
Welcome to Paradise
Surfacing
It Only Took A Day
Step 2: Complete the Campaign on New Game +
Now that you've completed the campaign once, you've unlocked New Game + and will need to replay the campaign. You can do this one a little differently, though. Along with NG+, you will also unlock the ability to level select. New Game plus can be turned on/off with in the level select menu. You can play the levels in any order, you just need to make sure you play them all. You'll know when one is complete when you're showing a "+" rank on the level select menu (NG+ must be turned ON). If a rank is not showing, it means you haven't completed the level yet. As with your first run, you want to make sure you're actively collecting all the power-ups you come across to work towards the individual pick-up trophies. You may have already earned some in Step 1, so be sure to keep track of your own progress towards these to make sure you're not doing any unnecessary grinding. Once you've completed the campaign in New Game +, you will earn the following:
Break It Down Again
Step 3: Miscellaneous Trophies / Clean-Up
Now that you've played through the Campaign twice, it's time for some miscellaneous clean-up. You have more than likely earned most of these trophies in the previous two steps, but which ones you did depends on your play style and your luck with the power-ups. Along with grinding out collecting the individual pick-ups, you also want to play each game mode at least once as well as work on the scores related to the Codex Collectibles and the S Ranks. Gameplay tips for the score related tasks are provided under their individual trophies, so if you're having any issues, please reference those for more information.
For the power-ups, some of the trophies can be earned in modes outside of the Campaign, so if you're still missing any after you've completed NG+, take a look at the individual trophies to better determine where you need to go to work on grinding them out. Outside of those, the only other two you might have leftover are I Alone and
Two Princes, though these will more than likely unlock naturally while playing through the campaign. Just in case they didn't though, the recommended levels to use to try and get these are provided under their respective trophy descriptions.
After you've completed all of the miscellaneous tasks, you'll earn the following (if you haven't already, of course):
