There are 12 achievements with a total of 200 points.

Traversed World 2

Travel all the way across World 2.

World 2 is the first world you'll have access to in the game. The first level is a simple tutorial and the remaining ones have no twists in them. The game pretty much plays itself at this point. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

There are 4 levels with a total of 12 puzzle pieces.
Three Easy Pieces (3 Puzzle Pieces)
The Cloud Bridge (4 Puzzle Pieces)
Hunt! (1 Puzzle Piece)
Leap of Faith (4 Puzzle Pieces)

See the achievement "Solved World 2" for help on completing the level/getting all puzzle pieces.

Traversed World 3

Travel all the way across World 3.

World 3 is the second world you'll have access to in the game. The levels aren't too difficult but now anything with a green aura is immune to your time travel abilities. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

There are 8 levels with a total of 12 puzzle pieces.
The Pit (No Pieces)
There and Back Again (1 Puzzle Piece)
Phase (2 Puzzle Pieces)
The Ground Beneath Her Feet (2 Puzzle Pieces)
Tight Channels (2 Puzzle Pieces)
Irreversible (3 Puzzle Pieces)
Lair (No Pieces)
A Tingling (2 Puzzle Pieces)

Traversed World 4

Travel all the way across World 4.

World 4 is the third world you'll have access to in the game. The levels begin to get more and more confusing, now enemies will move based off how you move and time will change based off the direction you move. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

There are 7 levels with a total of 12 puzzle pieces.
The Pit (No Pieces)
Jumpman (3 Puzzle Pieces)
Just Out Of Reach (2 Puzzle Pieces)

Traversed World 5

Travel all the way across World 5.

World 5 is the fourth world you'll have access to in the game. I actually found the 5th world easier than the 4th, you control a shadow of yourself who does basically whatever you do when you rewind time. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

There are 7 levels with a total of 12 puzzle pieces.
The Pit (1 Puzzle Piece)
So Distant (2 Puzzle Pieces)
[Unnamed] (2 Puzzle Pieces)
Crossing the Gap (3 Puzzle Pieces)
Window of Opportunity (2 Puzzle Pieces)
Lair (1 Puzzle Piece)
Fragile Companion (1 Puzzle Piece)

See the achievement "Solved World 5" for help on completing the level/getting all puzzle pieces.

Traversed World 6

Travel all the way across World 6.

World 6 is the fifth world you'll have access to in the game. The levels are difficult as hell now, you get a ring that will make everything near it slower, this seems easier but since the game now wants you to have quick reflexes and perfect timing things can get tricky. Once you finish all the levels you'll unlock the achievement.

There are 7 levels with a total of 14 puzzle pieces.
The Pit? (No Pieces)
Phase? (2 Puzzle Pieces)
Cascade (3 Puzzle Pieces)
Impassible Foliage (3 Puzzle Pieces)
Movement by Degrees (2 Puzzle Pieces)
Elevator Action (3 Puzzle Pieces)
In Another Castle (1 Puzzle Pieces)

See the achievement "Solved World 6" for help on completing the level/getting all puzzle pieces.

Closure

Complete the game.

After you've completed all the puzzles of Worlds 2-6 go to the level select screen and climb all the way to the top of the ladder. From here you can access World 1, World 1 is fairly simple but everything goes in reverse.

Since I'm too lazy/tired to type everything out... here's a video.

Speed Run

Complete a full speed run of the entire game, beating the challenge time.

Once you've finished the entire game (after receiving the achievement "Closure") go into the main menu by hitting start and then select "Speed Runs." From here select "Full Game." Now you've got 45 minutes to beat the game (collecting every puzzle piece mind you) this isn't impossible to do but it may take two or three tries at the minimum.

My times when I finished the game in 44:56 (phew!) were...
4:06 to complete world 2's puzzle
8:52 to complete world 3's puzzle
18:34 to complete world 4's puzzle
30:42 to complete world 5's puzzle
39:58 to complete world 6's puzzle
44:56 to complete world 1

The main thing to remember is simply to go as fast as possible and know exactly how to do each level as quickly as possible. I made what I would assume is a perfect run and only just barely finished. Solve the puzzles as soon as you get the last piece and end up in the house, they don't count towards your time taken.

You can't use the menu to do "Return to Clouds" so when you have to go back to level 2-2 to get the two missing puzzle pieces you have to continue through 2-3 and 2-4. This also gets annoying when you screw up on a mission that you can't fix (like Irreversible.)
