Fall Human Flat Advice:Tips

This walkthrough will be broken up into sections based on levels.

Hello, and welcome to the TrueAchievements walkthrough for Human Fall Flat. This is a physics based puzzle platformer with some pretty unique, and at times frustrating, controls, which has the player navigating through 12 different levels traversing the terrain and completing puzzles to get to the exit at each level.

Each level will have a text walkthrough, and the first nine levels have video walkthroughs accompanied with them.

You're looking at about a 8-10 hour completion on average. Be warned that there is an achievement for completing the entire game in one sitting for the Speedrun achievement, and this will now require you to beat the Aztec, Dark, Steam and Ice levels as well in addition to the main 8 levels (all levels released after Ice are considered separate Extra Dreams and do not count towards the achievement). Whilst you can technically get all achievements in one playthrough, you'll have to set aside a hefty bit of time to beat the entire game in one sitting whilst getting all the other achievements as well. It's best to play through the game at your own pace getting all the other achievements, and then play the game once more focusing purely on beating the levels as fast as possible and nothing else to get the Speedrun achievement done which will take you about 2-3 hours.

It also might take you a bit to get used to the controls, but I'll cover that in the general hints and tips. When I started this game the controls honestly frustrated me to the point where I had to stop playing for a bit, but once you're used to it you'll be climbing objects in no time. Speaking of controls, lets head over to the General Hints and Tips so we can dive into the controls in more detail.

Here I'm going to outline the key tutorials the game will teach you, just so you don't have to waste time in game looking at them and get familiar with them here:

Controlling your arms:

If you pick up one of the first few walkie talkies, controlling the positioning of your arms is introduced and it's a very simple topic. You use the left trigger to raise your left arm and the right trigger to raise your right arm. Once they're raised, you use the right stick to look around, and your arm will position itself where it's looking. For example, if you need to press a button to open a door, hold your arm out and look at the button to get your arm level with the button.

Now climbing isn't introduced until level 4 - Mountain, but it's definitely worth knowing about. If you hold your arms above your head and place them on top of a ledge, move the right stick down and you'll pull yourself on top of the ledge if your arms are wrapped over or just at the top of the ledge. This works the same for ledges higher up. You can jump up or across to higher or farther ledges and, as long as your hands or arms are over or just on the edge of the ledge, you can move the right stick down to pull yourself up on top of the ledge.

The Cheese Method:

UPDATE: As of the release of the Ice and Steam DLCs, this cheese method now seems to have been, if not completely patched out, made significantly harder to use. It can be used to skip large sections of the map or to help you get up to tricky spots. The steps for pulling it off are still below if you want to try it out, and the places where it can be used to help out in certain places will still be noted in the walkthrough, but don't worry if you can't get it to work as alternative methods will also be described at those points in the walkthrough.

Essentially, this cheese method will let you climb up massive walls which you'd not be able to get up otherwise. What you need to do is walk up to a wall with your arms raised up and jump towards the wall. Let go of one arm and start swinging your body. Tilt the camera so it's looking up at you. Position it directly in the centre of the screen so your body is swinging side to side without hitting the wall if your camera
