Introduction:
The Adventures of Shuggy is a 2D platformer containing 116 different levels with a slight learning curve toward particular puzzles where you collect green gems. This game is pretty easy to get the full 200 in and you can even get it done in a day if you push yourself. As you complete each level more will become available to you as the object remains to collect all the green gems. As you progress, new mechanics will be explored as you attempt new levels such as time travelling, swinging on ropes, rotating levels, turning into zombies, shrinking, growing, flying, teleporting and more. The game takes place in an old Scottish mansion recently inherited by young Shuggy, a cartoon vampire. To clear the mansion of evil spirits you must venture through the five different areas of the mansion: The Dungeon, The Boiler Room, The Gallery, The Graveyard and The Clocktower. Between sections you will receive comic book cut scenes and the occassional boss encounter per area.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting this game, make sure you have a friend or neighbor that can complete the 36 co-op games with you for the "Teamwork" achievement. This achievement cannot be done in online multiplayer. Local only.
1st Step: Single Player-
The obvious thing you will do first is start up a Single Player game and complete all 116 stages of Adventures of Shuggy. You can unlock 11 of the 12 achievements in this mode clearing levels and perfcting each of the four areas. If you puzzle abilities are good enough you may even get the 3 etcetera achievements. Below are the achievements you will get through regular play:
- "Master of Time"
- "Shmu Herder"
- "Dungeon Perfectionist"
- "Boiler Room Perfectionist"
- "Graveyeard Perfectionist"
- "Gallery Perfectionist"
- "Clocktower Perfectionist"
- "Castle Reclaimed"
2nd Step: Local Co-op-
This step can actually be done first to assure your 100% completion. Find a friend, relative, or neighbor that lives with or near you to do this. The Co-Op stages are just like Single player except they require 2 players to solve. There are 36 levels in all. Your partner does not need to be that skilled as some players have been able to get this done with their mothers and or girlfriends. You get the following for finishing Co-op:
- "Teamwork"
3rd Step: Etcetra Achievements-
There are 3 miscellaneous achievements that you may miss if you zoom through the levels too fast. And they each pertain to the following stages: In One Way, Spike Dodging, and Extending Platform. These levels require you to complete them a certain way but just follow the videos and you'll get them with time.
- "Ninja"
- "Face the Fear"
- "Abridged"
Conclusion:
Adventures of Shuggy is cute and fun puzzle platformer game that has very starightforward achievements. Just make sure you have a loyal co-op buddy that lives near you and you should have few issues unlocking them all. Some of the levels may take some time to figure out what you need to do so just follow the video guides if you ever get stuck.
