Introduction
Hi all!

As the description above says, this is a collection of video solutions by yours truly for every stage in the game. Video solutions for all the Challenge levels can be found in the guide linked below:



A few quick notes:
  • The sound on all of these videos are distorted, and I'm not too sure why, but I assume it was due to using WeGame to record them, instead of proper video capture software.
  • All videos are only 480p quality, so they're pretty blurred if played fullscreen.

So, without further ado...
1. Savory Salutations
1-1. The Trouble Begins
You can get the first achievement, Hot Pie Bottom (steal 10 pies) on this level, if you're quick while floating down.

1-2. Rooftop Mysteries

1-3. Oddly Placed Trash

1-4. Pastry Last

1-5. A New Beginning

1-6. A Recent Recollection

1-7. Switch Troubles

1-8. The Power of the Stack

1-9. The Power of a Smack

1-10. A Friend in Need

1-11. New Talents
2. The Ticking Tarts
2-1. Baked to the Future

2-2. Buffet Runner

2-3. Busted Cretin

2-4. A Sprinkle in Time

2-5. The Pie and the Pendulum

2-6. Me Myself and Pie

2-7. Numerican Pie
This level is actually rather fiddly. Make sure to approach the first smacking clone by walking along the floor, not by jumping over it, or it'll hit you higher than you want, the second clone sending you into the movable wall.

2-8. Catcher in the Pies
The trick here is to make your smacking clones directly above the first small crack between the paving tiles. That way, you'll get the optimum positioning and flight course.

2-9. Citizen Clone

2-10. The Final Countdown
This one is rather cunning. See, clones follow the recorded movement, whether it's physically possible or not, in this case levitating upwards without a platform. This means you can position yourself to smack it without having to trigger the switch in the first place.

Also, you're probably better served by creating a fresh clone for pies 9-12, spawned on top of nine, and then smacked through the last three.
3. Dangerously Delicious!
3-1. Smoke on the Horizon

3-2. Out of the Baking Tin...

3-3. Delicious Conundrum

3-4. A Clone in the Dark

3-5. Counting Blue Cobblers

3-6. Smackdraft
If you smack the first clone as the flame jet blocks the path to pie #1, and then smack the other five as quickly as you can, you should make it easily. Just be sure to not go too fast, or you'll end up making a smacking clone, and sending yourself flying.

3-7. Furnace Envy

3-8. Digested Development

3-9. Flame on, Sweet Prince

3-10. Douse It Good
The final clone needs to be towards the left side of the switch, or else it'll miss pie #11.
4. Spelunking for Sweets
4-1. Pie-rates of Winterpants

4-2. Bottom-sicles
For levels like this, where each clone takes you progressively further along, it's a good idea to try and ride atop the last clone that you made, since it'll take you precisely where you need to go. Just be careful to not get brushed off somewhere you can't recover from!

4-3. Flooded Sweets

4-4. Sittin' on the Clock in the Bay

4-5. The Winterbottom Tango

4-6. Evil Red

4-7. Pie Own Worst Enemy

4-8. Drop Dead Red
For the first clone, when you're heading for the pie, make sure to jump BEFORE you're on the slope. For some reason, whenever I jump from on the slope, it just starts floating downwards.

4-9. The Quick and the Red

4-10. The Great Escape
5. Circular Conclusions
5-1. Trip with a Spoon

5-2. Stage Lights

5-3. Stage of Enlightenment

5-4. Spotlit Sweets
The clone needs to land close to the center of the seesaw, so it can pass on the spotlight, but still on the right side so you get catapulted upwards.

5-5. Aromatic Acrobatics
When on the actual pie run, as opposed to the dry run (heh), don't press left or right while trampolining, or you'll skew your landing destination.

5-6. Pies and Prejudice
This is in all honesty, the hardest level in the game, which is why it took me about twenty takes to get this right. The hard part is going from on top of the first clone to a position where you can smack it through the last of the pies. That's why I hit the second clone in midair, so I can use the momentum from jumping to come down behind the first one, and smack it while I'm still airborne.

5-7. Curtain Call

5-8. P.B. Clone Home

5-9. The Pie and the Clone

5-10. Just Desserts
Thanks
  • Me, for being awesome and doing this,
  • Soüp, for pointing out that I really should make a Steam Guide for this, considering I already did the videos years back.
  • SpaceRook, for his helpful videos from the XBLA version of this game.
  • rastansaga360 (whose YouTube channel has now disappeared), for some more helpful videos.

For 5:6 i found if I stacked 3 clones, and whacked the middle one way, the top one would fall into place to be whacked the other way. A lot less finicky than getting jumps right.
Thanks making all the vids :)
