Achievements

Achievements are in-game goals that the Player can set. They don't have any rewards in themselves, but the platform that the Player plays on might have out-of-game rewards. This page lists all Achievements on the Steam version.

### A Really Nice Pat On Your Back

"Destroy 10 000 enemies."

Enemies are the main obstacles, and they're everywhere as well. The Player should focus on Stages with lots of weak Enemies like Prop Planes.

### Against The Odds

"Destroy all enemy towers on Stage 5."

Challenging Achievements like this should be done on Normal Difficulty.

### Unstoppable Grog

"Ram through an enemy wave with your Energy Shield."

An easy way to do this is the first wave of three Green Gunships on Stage 1.

### Heat Ray

"Burn through 10 enemies with your laser."

The Achievement is worded somewhat unclearly, but it means ten Enemies at the same time. The giant wall of Prop Planes on Stage 7 is good for this.

### Lord Of Destruction

"Destroy at least 15 enemies with one Mega-Bomb."

### Fidelity Medallion

"Earn 100 medals."

On Steam, there are only 108 Medals total. This is due to no Bonus Stage 1 or Nightmare Difficulty, so most of the game needs to be finished to unlock this Achievement.

### They're No Good In Your Pocket

"Save 5 power-ups at the end of the stage."

When doing a simple Stage on a low Difficulty, this Achievement is very easy to get as there's no need to spend Power-Ups in the first place.

### Little Bit Of This, Little Bit Of That

"Use 3 different power-ups in a single game."

Simply one Energy Shield, one Laser, and one Mega Bomb should do the trick.

### I've Got The Power

"Use any 5 power-ups in a single game."

Likely gathered in the same run as the previous one.

### Cheater! Just Kidding, You're Cool!

"Complete Stage 8 without using power-ups."

One of the hardest Achievements, as Power-Ups are very overpowered and make the fight easy. The Missiles Upgrade can deal constant damage over time, albiet slow.

### Yeah, I'll Have A Bag Of Those

"Collect 200 000 stars."

While Handsomely Rewarded is easy to grab, as maxing out all Upgrades costs more than 100K Stars, getting 200K Stars is much more of a grind. The Star Doubler Card is very useful for this.

### Stellar Superstar

"Collect all the stars in Stage 3."

This requires destroying every Enemy.

### I Kind Of Liked It Back There

"Rescue 1 000 people."

Survivors take time to rescue, and there aren't nearly enough of them compared to Enemies. This Achievement is also a grind.

### The Command Is In Your Debt

"Rescue 5 VIPs."

VIPs are very rare, and may only appear after unlocking all 9 Stages. Beyond that, they simply replace a Survivor.

### Party Animal

"Rescue your friends 20 times."

Due to the fact that it requires having people on a friends list who play the game, and the effort of going to rescue them, this Achievement is one of the worst.

### House Of Cards

"Find all the cards."

This Achievement is very grindy. Cards have a low chance of spawning to begin with, and given the fact that the level must be beaten without dying to add it to the deck, it can be quite tedious. See Cards for more information.

### I'm Still Alive

"Finish a stage with your health lower than 5%."

Becomes much harder with the Health Regeneration Card.

### It Wasn't Me!

"Destroy the lighthouse without touching it."

One of the most famous Achievements, it involves destroying Stage 1's Interceptor as far as possible so it crashes into the Lighthouse instead of off-screen.
