How to unlock the Loopist achievement

    Find a metal beam and a large room, grab onto one end of the beam and start swinging in the air. I found it easiest with a clockwise rotation, so I would start by swing the beam anti-clockwise until it was parallel with the floor and then swing it back the other way. The momentum should carry it round and the beam will push your character round for one spin.
    If you keep the momentum going, four rotations in succession should be no problem - after some practice.
    I've seen some people do this in the big room that's bottom left from the 'Heart Room', but I did this in Extended in a room with a magnet.
    You should also be able to do this in the large cavern with the furnace - when completing the puzzles in the rooms to the left of that cavern, the last puzzle will require a metal beam. Just bring that with you out and completing the spins in this cavern should be the easiest place as it is massive and it should be much easier to avoid walls.
    This video from "aka Scratch" demonstrates the achievement.

    syyloneI was only playing around with a lever when I got this one, believe it or not. I just flipped it as far left and right as it would allow several times and somehow the game counted that motion as loops.

    Forget about "momentum", "left and right", "up and down"... the best and easiest way to get this achievement is available in Extended Level.

    "Near the beginning your robot will get smashed and have limited functionality. You will then get repaired. In the large open area of the place where you get repaired is one of the metal planks. I was able to easily swing this one around for the trophy. Try to grab near the edge so you are perpendicular to the plank, not so it's just hanging straight down below you."

    kiomxBy far the best, tried other methods for about an hour, got this first try and actually did 50 loops in a row just for fun!! Couple clarifications... you should get repaired first, don't be like me trying while still broken haha... and then, there's two large areas, one to the right of the repair machine and one to the left. Go to the RIGHT. The gravity here works in a different way such that you can easily loop by actually doing loops in your controller, instead of the whole momentum/up/down technique

    During Chapter 2, you'll reach an area with a blueish-grey metal structure in the background and you'll have to grab some rubble from a room to the left to raise the water level below in order to complete an open electrical circuit. Use the steel beam and grab onto the end of it, then rock back and forth to get momentum and then turn into the swing to do 4 quick loops in a row for this one. I found it easiest to use both joysticks to do the loops once I got going. This can also be unlocked in Chapter 5 by wedging yourself in the gap between two of the moving pipes.

    Check timestamp 0:13:12 in the walkthrough video for this one.
