Medal Game Walkthrough Table of Contents

Theia is a fun little puzzle game along the lines of Sokoban, but with enemies. I was keeping track of level codes and solutions, and ended up with a pretty thorough written walkthrough of the game. So here it is!

Scoring points:
When you die, you get -1000 points. When you continue, you get -5000 points. For each life remaining after a level you get 500 points at the start of the next level, so it starts adding up pretty quickly. Score medals do not stack (getting God Score doesn't give you the other two), and score medals are only awarded for beating the game; you can't quit and get a medal. The Newgrounds scoring app will only show your latest score, not necessarily your highest.

Gameplay points:
When you are burrowed, enemies can't see or hit you. When there is a movable rock between you and an enemy it cannot see or hit you. When there is another enemy between you and an enemy it cannot see or hit you. You can usually dodge an attack once you see it coming, but not always.

Terrain:
- Regular grass has full movement speed and is burrowable.
- Sand has half movement speed and is burrowable.
- Stone has full movement speed and is not burrowable.
- After the second boss a new red terrain appears which has full movement speed and is burrowable.
- Walls and minerals are non-traversable

Enemies:
Bubba - Big orange brutes. They don't move, only attack in the direction they're facing, and have a bit of range. Green Bubbas attack faster than their counterparts, and light orange Bubbas attack somewhere in between.
Piggy - They move when you move, and attack when they're facing you and close enough to hit. Blue piggies do the opposite of what you do. Pink piggies do what you do. Light green piggies do what you do horizontally, and do the opposite vertically. If you're walking against a wall, they will continue to move even if you're not.
Leaf Thrower - They don't move, and have a ranged attack where they throw a leaf at you. The purple ones will freeze you in place if you're in a position where the leaf will hit you, so watch out. They will try to attack you through rocks, walls and enemies, but whatever's blocking them will take the hit for you.

Bosses:
Spider - level 12. Feed it cabbage to slow it down, and stay as close to the bottom of the screen as you can. Take advantage of burrowing when you can.
Brute - level 20. Unblock the flow of lava and then follow him when he runs away. He has a ranged attack that only fires down, but is kind of quick.
Piggy Wiggy - level 33. Quicktime events.

Stage 12: L3Z7 - First boss level. Feed him lettuce to slow him down (and for a medal get), and race to the bottom

Stage 13: M9Y0 - Die to a piggie for medal get. Blue piggies do the opposite what you do. Walk in front of one of the orange dudes and immediately walk down to get out of range, and send the blue piggies North. Walk against the rock to get the ones below out of the way. Push the rock down just far enough that you can get by, then go around under it and push that one far enough that you can burrow. Go under it and exit

Stage 14: N3W2 - Pink piggies do as you do. Move right then down, then push the boulder in front of the Bubba and proceed to exit

Stage 15: O8V4 - Pale green piggies mimic you sideways, and do the opposite vertically. Go up and to the right, then maneuver yourself to the bottom right corner area and head left to exit

Stage 16: P8U1 - Walk down to get the two piggies on the right together at the alcove, then go back to the middle of your aisle and push the rock to the right. Piggies take time to swing. Maneuver yourself so you're at the start of the middle row at the bottom, and move left until the piggie takes a swing at you, then quickly move away so it misses. This will separate the two piggies. Get them in line with each other horizontally and walk past them, then burrow to the exit

Stage 17: Q8T9 - Move left a bit, then move down until you're against the piggies beneath you. Move right until you're past the exit point, then walk down to get the piggies out of the way. Proceed to exit

Stage 18: R4S1 - Move right until the first set starts to swing, then move back out of the way and proceed again. Rinse and repeat for the rest of them.

Stage 19: S8R0 - Use the piggies as blockers for the Bubbas, just like rocks

Stage 20: T2Q6 - Second boss level, Move the first boulder to the right (will take two pushes as the boss attacks you on the first one), then clear a path to the lava. Outrun it to the boss and he'll make a break for it, then proceed to the exit. DO NOT take the path on the right, it is a dead end. Make sure you stay on the brick path or you will move too slow to outrun the lava. ONE MISSTEP ON THE SLOW PATH WILL KILL YOU. Medal get when you clear the lava to exit. Do not burrow when the lava is coming; you need to be at the foot of the path when the boss makes a run for it in order to get out in time.

Stage 21: U0Q3 - Get killed by a green thing - medal get. Move the rock on the right as far left as you can. Burrow past the gems and cross to the left. Move up until you can walk directly right, then do so. Push the rock up so it blocks the bottom of the two green things on the right. Get the second rock out and push it up to block the green thing up top. Proceed to exit

Stage 22: V2P0 - Green Bubbas swing much faster, but follow the same rules. Move the rock in the bottom right out of the way and get the piggie up past the first two green Bubbas. Position the piggie as a blocker (be patient) and use him to block your way past the central green Bubba. Burrow past the remaining green Bubba to the exit

Stage 23: W8O8 - Burrow in the square and position the pink piggies on either side of you FACING VERTICALLY. Unburrow and walk straight to the exit

Stage 24: Q9N4 - Position the piggie as a blocker and move past the Bubba, burrow to the exit

Stage 25: Y2M2 - Purple blobs freeze you if they see you. Burrow to the bottom and move the righthand rock up to block the left attack chamber, then move the lefthand rock up to block the top attack chamber. Go behind the first green Bubba and then down against the second and walk all the way left to get out of its range, then inch down until you can burrow to the exit

Stage 26: Z0L6 - Burrow to the top left and move that rock to block the middle purple thing from seeing you, and put it in such a position that it also blocks the bottom purple thing from attacking upwards. Move the next rock to block the top purple thing attacking left and the middle one attacking up, and move the last rock to block the top one attacking upwards. Proceed to exit

Stage 27: A6K1 - This level is all manual dexterity. You need to start at the top of the aisle, dodge the feather downward and move right, then quickly move left and up as the Bubba attacks you, then get past it and dance past all the flying feathers until you can burrow. Then just burrow to the exit

Stage 28: B6J0 - Use the alcoves to get to the left aisle. Be sure to maneuver the piggie out of the way so he doesn't kill you when you get there. Take your time to position the piggie as a blocker for the green blog tossing feathers along the top, face left, come to the surface, and make a break for the exit

Stage 29: C8I2 - This level's pretty simple, but it's easy to lose a life by mistake if you forget to burrow when crossing from left to right. Block the bottom throwers first, then the middle one on either side, then the top ones from throwing sideways. From the stones along the top, use the leftmost one of the right hand pair to block the purple on the right from throwing left at you, and use the rightmost one from the left hand pair to block the centre one from throwing down at you, and proceed to the exit

Stage 30: D4H5 - Use the piggie as a blocker to get by everything. Remember that the piggie walks in the other direction from you vertically, so you'll have to position it on the right so that when you're walking down past the Bubba, it's walking up past it and blocks the Bubba's view

Stage 31: E8G6 - While burrowed, arrange the piggies so that they're close to you on each side, and so that you're in line with the ones highest up on the screen. Position yourself for your beeline and before you unburrow move down just a touch so the piggies get some space between them. Then unburrow and make a break for it

Stage 32: F6F3 - This level is all about blocking the right enemies at the right time. From where you start, move the bottom left rock so it's in line with the enemies below and to the right of you, then move two rocks so that they protect you along the vertical road, and move the bottom of those rocks right against the enemy below you. Take the last of the four rocks and move it so it blocks the two enemies in the top right, then take the free rock from below them and use it to block the central enemy attacking right. Now burrow and go around the top right corner to come out in the bottom right and nudge the rock down there up, then push it left so it also blocks the central enemy attacking down. With the two remaining rocks block the bottom right enemy attacking left and then the bottom left enemy attacking down, and proceed to the exit

Stage 33: G6E0 - The end boss is a series of quicktime events. In order: right for the initial dodge, then LRLRL. Up to head for the cliff, left to move towrad it, right to keep from falling off, then spam up until you jump on the stalactite. DUDULDU to get back to solid ground. Next is L, then just spam R after L and spam L after R until you're eaten. Then click the mouse 60 times as fast as you can. Congratulations, you win!

Edit: I got some requests for a video showing levels 31 and 32, so here's one with those and the boss.
