🎪🎪🎪 Achievement Hunter Review 🎪🎪🎪 My Time to Beat: 2hrs 100% achievement difficulty: low difficulty ( a bit of logic needed ) Achievements: 15 Type Breakdown: 100% collection of stars and finishing levels Playthroughs: 1 ( short puzzle levels ) Missable: none Grinding: not really but can be considered a bit as you try combinations to optimise the number of moved for 3 stars Restricted: yes ( license expired in nov 2025 ) DLC Achievements: no Speed Run: no Multiplayer: no Time gated: no Known bugs: I've encountered 3 stars not unlocking even if i had the same number of movements when I got 3 stars later; figured that you can do it fast and will work, be careful to not press any key when the box is traveling through the portal or that will be classified as a key press and will add to the count ( did that mistake too ) 🎪🎪🎪 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45888692-Morrivale%2527s-Achievement-Circus/] More achievement hunting reviews [/url] 🎪🎪🎪

A moderately long set of straight line escape puzzles. Has move counter for perfect achievements. Can be troublesome.

very fun to try and get least moves possible for three stars on every level. good variety and really makes you think. use guide under game for help, though it may not have the shortest route for all problems

Solid slider puzzles with a pretty good challenge level if you go for three stars. I really liked the mechanics in this one. They're pretty simple, but they added a lot to the puzzles without making them frustrating or tedious.
