A Little to the Left Walkthrough Guide
This guide provides standard solutions in A Little to the Left.
Tips for starting
Placement can be very specific for a level to register as completed. Listen for a ding to verify that things are placed right. If the level doesn’t feature dings, keep slightly moving the object around until you get it.
If you’re presented with a bunch of items, several having duplicates, you’re probably looking at a symmetry level. Place the ones with no duplicates somewhere along the center line, and try to work from there.

Where is My Cap?
In level 3, place every pen cap on the wrong pen, without simply trading between two pens to unlock this achievement. This sounds confusing, but the best way to achieve this is to first place the pens in order (I used line order), then place each cap on the pen to the left of the pen it belongs on. Here’s a screenshot for clarity:
A Balanced Meal
In level 7, stack all items on the center circle to unlock this achievement. Okay, this achievement is a bit of a nuisance, so here are my tips:
- Do not let the trays get too close to their intended positions, they will lock in place and cannot be moved after that.
- Stack the largest trays on the bottom, with the smallest on top. If all the smaller trays are stacked on the largest tray, the only the largest tray technically needs to be stacked on the circle.
- Place the food items in their intended positions on each tray as you move along, EXCEPT the apples. I just slapped the apples on top.
- Food will fall of the trays, it’s okay, just add them to the top later.
- If you think everything is stacked and you have not yet triggered the achievement, grab the bottommost tray and slide it off of the center, food may have fallen off of your trays without you noticing, or maybe your tray shifted a bit too far off of the center circle. Return it to the center circle.
If you still can’t get the achievement, know that this one is quite specific, just keep trying.
Here’s what my stack looked like when I got the achievement:
Can do Altitude
In level 12, stack every can on top of each other to unlock this achievement. This is most easily done by making 2-3 stacks and joining them.
In No Rush
