This achievement is for finding one of your fallen friends about 2 rooms into the game.

Start a new game and watch the cutscene. When you can move,

• exit through the bottom-right
• continue down past 2 sets of lasers
• head right, and fly through the glowing shadow above your fallen friend

It takes 1 minute for the opening cutscene, plus 40 seconds of gameplay.

This will likely be the first achievement you will earn, and the next four will follow rapidly and are just as easy. Just explore the first few areas, and you will find the items that pop their respective achievements. This one gives you a shield power, a bit of a misnomer as it is actually a weapon. One pulse (press A) will repulse a nearby attacker, and a second pulse on the same enemy will cause it to explode and leave behind one or two energy orbs to pick up if you need them. Later enemies may take more than two hits, but will drop more orbs. It may take awhile to get the timing down, but soon you will be swatting those pesky gnats like a champ.
