Once you have completed the game once, you can activate the red crystal in the hub under where your usual portal is.
Level types and enemies are randomly placed. Enemies are scaled to your level, but on the plus side you get triple the amount of special attacks. So it works out nicely.
You're awarded points for:
Pacifist Orb
Coins
Kills
I focused on the Pacifist Orbs as much as I could, as these award the most points. It took me a couple of attempts but a run of 7 levels was enough for 25,000 points. The achievement will unlock as you're still playing.
Thanks to Clad Master for the help with this.

seems like all the unlocks are random. pretty annoying cause you might get some of the skills, weapon, or perks you like, but not like the others. plus the more you unlock, the more other junk you don't want that can come up. guess it encourages trying different things.
in regards to the solution: personally, on the regular mode i try to always go thru and get all pacifist orbs, then jump to the top with a warp block and kill and collect as much as i can, triggering all the alarms too. it takes longer but you level up a lot. my first time trying New Game+, i did that and got 11,000 points and reached player level 7 just from beating the first level. to compare, after dying on level 2 i tried again, and there was no warp at the end so i just finished that level and only had 2000 points. you could probably score 25,000 from just beating 2 or 3 levels I'd guess.

Dumb question can I pick the musket gun or is to just randomly given to your character?

After beating the game for the first time, you unlock what the game calls New Game Plus. In reality, it's an endless score attack mode. It's accessed at any time from the red crystal in the temple, directly under the portal.
How this "New Game Plus" Mode works is that you progress through levels like normal, but the level you're on and the enemies present are random, meaning the first level could be the ice level but the enemies could be zombies, spiders, and vampire bats. To offset the higher difficulty enemies and levels, all enemies scale to your level, so you never have to worry about being underpowered. On top of that, you get triple the amount of abilities. The last additional thing, which is what ties into this achievement, is that you get a score on the bottom of the screen now too. You need to reach a score of 25,000 in this mode, and the achievement will unlock immediately.
You get points for picking up coins, picking up Pacifist Orbs, killing enemies, opening cages, and opening chests. You could, therefore, approach these levels the same way as levels in the regular game, and maximize points that way. However, RNG is an even bigger issue in this mode, since the enemies and levels are randomly selected. It's also impossible to be overleveled, meaning it's even easier to get caught off guard and die quickly. Plus, those damn lightning node enemies can show up anywhere and ruin your run.
Assuming you have the Dwarf Turret ability, since you likely used it to beat the game and unlock this mode, this mode becomes way easier. Having the Lockpicks skill is also huge for this mode, since you can get lots of points from opening everything and collecting all the coins. What I did in this mode was progress down like normal, but don't try to stay Pacifist. The orbs don't give huge points, and there's virtually no way you're getting to the bottom in Pacifist and then teleporting back to the top. So, just kill all the enemies you come across. If you reach a situation where enemies are too great in number, or traps are in your way, or whatever (this was practically a guarantee, in my experience), drop two of your Dwarf Turrets, let them kill but follow them down as they break the ground. You'll likely plummet quickly down to the boss level. Quickly drop your other four Dwarf Turrets and let them annihilate everything. Collect all the coins you can, and then head to the next level and repeat. Basically, progress like normal, killing enemies, as long and safely as you can, but if you aren't confident or safe, drop a couple Dwarf Turrets and follow them down, spamming the rest of your Turrets to finish off the boss.
Doing this, it should only take around five or six levels to reach the score needed to unlock this achievement. You just have to hope to not get any really bad RNG, but otherwise, this achievement isn't that bad.
