How to unlock the Halfway Point achievement

    I really recommend practicing the lastest stages before attempting this one, as they are a lot harder than the five previous ones. Enemies are also a lot tougher, so you will find enemies in those levels easier too.

    If you can finish all stages collecting diamonds and killing bosses one by one in Story Mode, you should be able to do this on your first or second try. Let me give you the best tips I can, because you have to finish the first 5 stages without dying:

    * Start ALWAYS trying to get diamonds. Shoot rainbows above enemies and press down over them. That way, the rainbow will become some stars that will kill the enemy and make him a diamond. Try to get most diamonds possible in the beginning of the stage, when there are usually many weak and predictable enemies.

    * Once you have 3-4 different diamonds, start playing normally, but as fast as you can. Pick all powerups you see. If you can´t get one that´s below you, use the rainbow+down trick to pick it with the stars.

    * When you have both speed and rate (range isn´t needed as much), focus on going a lot faster up, and try to build chains. Chains are when you kill enemies really fast, building a combo. You´ll see the number on the left of the screen. Focus on getting 7 chains, and everytime you see time crystals fall to the screen, use again the raibow+down trick to pick them up.

    * When picking a star item, try to get as many enemies as you can, because you will need all seven diamonds in each level to be safe. Normal stars are hard to control where they will hit when you pick them, but use star wands wisely. If you get the yellow one, try to jump only when there are many enemies on screen. If you get the red one, try to press down on rainbows only when there are many enemies on screen.

    * If you have trouble in any part of any level, use your Rainbow Jump to kill all enemies on screen and get some more time. I suggest building to 7th level of Rainbow Jump and use it on the 5th level, as it´s the hardest.

    * You should have all diamonds if you play as I say by ~600 meters into the stage. If you still don´t have them all, focus on getting the last ones. Try to kill enemies in the correct position to achieve that.

    * Once the boss appears, he will have half the life because the diamonds. You can use the same strategy with all bosses, as far as you know how they attack so you don´t get in their way. I suggest buiding many rainbows up above the scientist (which usually is the weak spot), then pressing down. If you break many rainbows at once, he will get more damage. Try not to go too up, just focus on killing him.

    * Once you kill the boss, you will get to the next level. Pick all three items firstly, and then build rainbows above crystals and use the down trick to get them all easily. You should have at least around 200-300 seconds at the start of each level. If you get less, you should focus more on chains and not being hit. If you have more, focus on getting the diamonds so you have less trouble going up.

    You´ll get the achievement after reaching the 6th level. You can keep playing to go up in the leaderboards though, as this strategy works for any level.
