How to unlock the Perfection achievement in Time Pilot - Definitive Guide

I am with the first two posters on this achievement. I tried off and on for about 2 years also to get the Perfection Achievement. A good friend of mine Bugaj75 made a video of this very hard achievement and deserves all the credit. I am posting it so that it might help one person in getting it! If you found this video solution helpful please don't forget to vote positive. Good luck!

Took me years but finally got this today after trying on and off I think the bottom left is actually the only direction which 'works'.

Don't be discouraged. One day you'll wake up and give it a try, and round 3 will be "the good one".

It's what happened to me anyway hahahaha

I got this after spending the last two days on it. I found using a turbo controller helped to avoid having to mash the a button. I used an emulator online to practice level 4 over and over instead of having to get up to it each time.

2 years? Now I don't feel so bad about the 30 hours over about 2 months that I spent!

A nightmare.

Firstly, keep the original graphics. Yes, the clouds obscure shots and enemies occasionally, but the enhanced graphics introduce all sorts of distracting shrapnel, AND reduce the size of the enemy sprites.

I found that wearing headphones to keep me 'in the zone' helped with concentration, though it hardly seems essential.

Get in the habit of shooting in a constant arc. Like Geometry wars, just waggle the left stick in gentle quarter circles whilst shooting CONSTANTLY. You'd be surprised how often what looks like certain death will turn out OK as your bullet stream cuts through a gaggle of biplanes.

When you get good enough to reach stage 4 consistently, break out of the habit of restarting immediately on death. It's worth finishing out the stage for practice against the enemies' ungodly speed.

--

Stage 1: Just spin wildly. Focus on the area around your ship to avoid the arcing bombs and bullets, but you should be fine.

Stage 2: In my opinion much harder than the helicopter stage. Try to keep heading in a single direction (I always went with SW out of habit after watching Buga's video) and ignore the giant ships as they don't contribute to your level total, and take more shots than you realise.

Stage 3: Keep heading SW, traversing in a lazy circle around homing missiles if they get to close to your tail. Once you get the hang of shaking them, the level is plain sailing.

Stage 4. HELL. Here all craft travel at the same speed as you. Despite guide's suggesting that you continue to travel largely in the same direction, I found the only way to progress was to take the fight to them as per stage one. Like the helicopter stage, homing missiles should be dealt with by spinning gently around them, however you must be extra wary of all other ships when performing your aerobatics.

--

Don't give up! Everyone has skill and concentration ceilings. If you reach a point when you keep dying on stage one, call it a day.

I found being hyper-aggressive on stage 4 and simply shooting as many ships and missiles as possible as quickly as possible was the best way to go. There's no point in running. If you avoid shooting the ships tailing you, you'll cause two things, neither of which are good:

The first is you'll have a large number of ships around you, preventing you from turning in certain directions, making it more likely for you to die. The second is that you'll prevent ships from spawning in front of you since there's a limit to the number of ships that can be on screen, meaning you'll spend a lot longer on the level, making it more likely for you to die.

Instead, you need to take the ships head-on. Be courageous. It might be scary the first couple times, but you can turn into a ship head-on, get super duper close to a ship -- pixels away from death -- and then shoot it out of the sky. Stages 1 and 2 are great for practicing this. Once you're able to do this, you'll find yourself completing the levels much, much quicker, and you'll also find yourself having an easier time since you only have to deal with a couple ships on screen at one time. Good luck. This isn't easy, but anyone can do it with enough practice.

This is by far the hardest and most frustrating achievement in Time Pilot. First off, you need to play without the expectation of getting it on your first try, or fiftieth. Switch to the old school graphics because it's less distracting--seriously, do it. For the most part, it's a good idea to go in a certain direction at any given time. This makes it so the game puts most of the ship spawns right in front of you. If you get one on your tail then you'll need to dodge him by swinging your ship around. This is a great technique on the helicopter stage because once the homing missiles fly off the screen, they never come back. Good luck!

As for me I found myself with 180 for over 2 years because this achievement was so frustrating but I found the best way is just getting used to each lvl and just say you lose a life dont restart, instead, continue until game over thats how I accomplished it 10 min ago this will make you get used to the difficultys and speeds, good luck, youll need it
PS: for me on the last lvl my heart was literaly pounding like never before the suspence was intence!! when I got it I almot got a stroke. I was glad :)

For this achievement, you need to reach 2001 (complete the fourth stage, 1982) without losing a life. With each stage, the difficulty increases, so this one will take some practice and a little bit of luck. Luckily, to get to this stage can take as little as 5 minutes, so while it might not take long, it can definitely be intimidating, frustrating and overwhelming.

The concept is simple; as you play each stage, just shoot everything and avoid the projectiles and other aircraft until the “boss” appears. Destroy it to continue on to the next stage, all without losing a life. Repeat this three more times. Please refer to the video below for more tips. Good luck!
