How to unlock the silver cubes achievement in Topatoi - Definitive Guide

You will earn this trophy for collecting all cubes on levels three to five.

Level 3 - the castle of peril

Straight after the first checkpoint you have to climb a wall using timed platforms. Note the timing and pattern of these platforms as well as the position of the few solid ones and carefully cover every section of the wall to collect all cubes. Once you reach the next ledge hit the checkpoint and move around the base to collect all cubes (at this point you should have 63). Back at the checkpoint jump and follow the wall around to the right again noting the timing of the platforms and using the solid corners to draw breath. Don't worry too much about the batch of cubes directly above the checkpoint as you can pick this up shortly. Continue around to the right following the arrows and collecting all cubes until you reach the next ledge and checkpoint. If you missed any cubes above the previous checkpoint carefully drop down to the right to sweep these up and suicide to respawn back at the above checkpoint.

Collect the cube to the left of the arrow when the timed platform is closed and then jump up and follow the timed platforms around to the right again until you reach the next ledge and checkpoint (at this point you should have 121 cubes). Carefully push the three balls off the switches to activate the central moving platforms and ride them up to the end of the level.

Level 4 - swinging up

This level introduces seesaw platforms which are very easy to navigate; move to one end to raise the other and then speed boost and jump as required. As mentioned before using the shadows to position cubes is really useful in this level.

At checkpoint one you should have 27 cubes and this is followed by a tricky seesaw to platform section, aim for the middle platform at each stage and use your shadow to guide your landing. Time can run out very quickly on this level so collect as many blue blobs as you can, especially large ones.

Once you reach a section with 4 seesaws with many cubes in the centre, carry on passed to the next checkpoint before returning for the cubes. After collecting these (you should now have 64) return to the checkpoint and continue upwards. The remainder of this level is made up of straighforward seesaw sections.

Level 5 - rough ride

This is the first of two scrolling levels where you are constantly riding a moving platform (similar to the end of level one), keep as far forward as possible and use speed boost between jumps to reposition yourself. During the first section you have an awkward left hand platform and later a right hand platform to collect cubes from and towards the end of this section you have to move left and right to avoid walls, move using speed boost and remember that collected cubes stay collected even if you die. Therefore if you miss a couple of cubes don't suicide straight away especially if there are more awkward cubes just ahead, carry on to collect a few more first making your next run through that much easier.

This strategy is particularly useful during the next section where you have to drag a block through to use at the end, if you're having difficulty then ignore the block and just concentrate on cubes on your first run through. When you do drag the block make sure you go left as soon as you jump the force field ready to drag the ball onto the switch, before reaching the next checkpoint with 53 cubes.

The final section of this level sees you riding on various smaller moving platforms which is not too difficult as the remaining cubes are all on your natural path. Be wary of the centre obstacles towards the end and try to avoid the temptation to jump these as it's much easier to avoid them entirely by positioning yourself on the left or right hand edges of your platform.
