Jellyfishing

This is a walkthrough and an achievement guide for the game Jellyfish, seeing as how the game doesn't already have one (that I noticed), and this game doesn't tell you what to do most of the time, so it can be a bit confusing to get through.

I will be providing advice on achievements, a walkthrough, gameplay basics, and the tips from in-game.

Disclaimer

I am not 100% sure about all of the advice I give in this guide. I might be wrong about some of the ways to do stuff, or the achievement activation, but this is what I found works.

And I have been unable to get the Super Hunter achievement yey, but I have provided a theoretical way to get it below. It would be amazing if someone gave me some tips for that one, but other than that achievement, everything is all here, at least everything I could figure out.

If any of this stuff is wrong, please let me know, and I will change it, and credit you. If you are having any troubles with getting any achievements or completing any of the levels, just comment.

Level 1&2 Planula Larvae (Surfing)

Level 1 and 2 are practically identical, so they will be squashed together. The biggest difference between the two seems to be in the 1st level you can't fail, but in the 2nd one you can. So just do, in level 2, whatever you do in level 1.

Level 1:

Level 1 tip: "Try to raise."

It seems that the only controls are moving back and forth. You need to pick up the yellow dots, and they will give you a bubble. Each of the yellow dots are on different levels, and you'll need a certain amount of bubbles to get to each of the levels. It appears that where the dot lands is random, if it isn't I haven't found a way to activate it.


Level 2:

Level 2 tip:"Do not fall."

Basically do whatever you did in level 1, just try harder to not fail. You won't need enough bubbles to float to the surface, like the previous one, you just need to collect a bunch of bubbles.

Level 3 Polyp (Feeding Yellow Sponge) & Level 4 Ephyra

Level 3 is made up of two stages. And level 4 is included here, because it's not hard enough to need it's own section.

Level 3:


Level 3 tip:"Yellow sponge needs to be fed"

Stage 1:
This level gets a little more complicated with movement. You can go left and right, and now you can jump. When in mid air, you can control the angle that your mouth is facing, first you need to kill the blue sponge that is eating all the green dots. I don't know exactly what to do to kill it, but I have found standing near or on it tends to help, maybe trying to block the flow of food to it. After you kill it, the green dots with float towards your mouth. When you have the green dots inside of you, you can't jump, but now you can press up to spit them out, and left and right will now be how you angle your mouth. You'll need to spit them out into the mouth of the yellow sponge to fed it. Just position yourself similarly to how I am in the screenshot below.


Stage 2:
After you finish feeding the yellow sponge, it will start spitting out white stuff. Stay near the yellow sponge, and press up to extend your body and bite the white stuff. Eat enough of that, and you will go to the next stage.


Level 4:

Level 4 tip:THERE IS NO TIP! I DON'T KNOW WHY!

Just swim up, until the next level.

Level 5 Medusa (50/100)

Level 5 tip: "The undercurrent is too strong, try somewhere else."

Just collect the green balls in this level, and you will start to gain more traits, at this point, the current will basically push you along, so no need to do much until you get enough green balls. After collecting 50/100, swim down.

Level 6 (Protect the crab!) & Level 7 (100/100)

Level 6 and 7 are both in this section, because level 7 has nothing much to do in it.

Level 6:

Level 6 tip: "Protect the crab, the tentacles are your weapons."

Not really much to this one, just wait by the crab, and when a missile comes towards you, go in the same direction it is, so your tentacles are facing it. If a green glow appears, you hit the missile, if a red glow, it hit you.



Level 7:

Level 7 tip: "The crab can help attaching the grass."

Swim back to the surface and find where the grass was in level 5. Swim over it, and the crab will attach to it, and will hold you like a kite, you will float up and pick up the green balls, until you get 100/100 or more.

Level 8 (Hunting for snails)

Level 8 tip: "Catch the snails."

This one is, in my opinion, the hardest one, as I cannot figure out how to do it properly. But I have some ideas. You have to get the snails tangled into your tentacles. And the hard part is often times that snails get loose. So far, staying completely still seems to be the best method to eat them quicker.

Level 9 (Mating)

There are a total of 3 stages in this level, there is chasing, kissing, and dancing.

Level 9 tip: "Try to chase the lover and then face to face."

Stage 1: Chasing
Follow behind the jellyfish lover, and they will spit hearts out behind them from their mouth, if you don't get too close they won't even move, and you can sit behind them until the next stage.


Stage 2: Kissing
This one is a bit harder, you'll need to follow them at their side, if you get too close, they will go faster, and wait till you are a head of them. When they spit a heart out in front of them, you can quickly swim to the heart and collect it. You will need to repeat this until the next stage.


Stage 3: Dancing
This one is easy, just see where the bight balls of light are and swim in the circle according to where they are.

Achievements

Each of the achievements seem to apply to completing a level in a certain amount of time. It seems 2 minutes or under works.

Super Surfer:

Super Surfer applies to level/s 1 and/or 2 (Bubbles).

Perfect Fighter:

Perfect Fighter applies to level 6 (Protecting Crab). This ones doesn't seem to relate to health at all, as I got hit twice in it, and still got the achievement, so it must relate only to speed.

Super Hunter:

As it turns out, this one has NOTHING to do with the snail hunting level, as I once thought. Instead it has to do with eating 50 Algae (the green balls) without missing one.

Perfect Lover:

Perfect Lover applies to level 9 (Mating). This achievement doesn't seem to care if you miss a couple of hearts, as long as you eventually get enough hearts, and complete the level quickly

Note: Lover achievement calculates after stage 2. If it does not trigger upon stage 3, quit immediately and reboot the game.

Hunter Achievement seems to rely on a good glitch...though to be safe, I collected 50 green balls on stage 5 without missing one. Upon reaching stage 7, I (as another user suggested) immediately closed the game and rebooted it. Upon rebooting stage 7, I grabbed the first ball that showed up, it triggered. Don't need to hook the crab up.

Will try again Although never noticed, but from the past several times i must some fluke

[Frankenstein's Raven]

Yeah, that is totally a bug, but it worked! Thanks for figuring this out, Marklar! I never would have guessed it had to do with the algae and not the snails....

[marklar]

an update: I was able to unlock this achievement on level 7, right after you fight to protect the crab.
quit from level 7 as soon as it starts, and after collecting the very first particle (number 51 for me) the achievement triggered. i'm not sure if it was a bug or not..

[marklar]

The Dev kindly replied about how to get "Super Hunter" So it appears that you have to eat 50 algea particles without missing any. and its nothing to do with snails.

[Frankenstein's Raven]

Yeah, the Super Hunter one really sucks! I found that to eat the snails really fast you have to be still when eating them, but when doing this really fast, it still doesn't work.

[DealDieD]

WTF !!! I believe you can do it.But you don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Achievements :Super Hunter
It is difficult to kill all, and the scene will be cut immediately.
Can't close to start this stage again

I played 5 hours to find the truth. (24 rounds)

Faster, more suspicious, and having to timer (58 seconds but still not received)
I try every method
Kill together2,3
Kill small to large/large to small
Don't kill 5min.
