John Cooney, author of TBA, TBA2, Grid16, and the Ball Revamped series, has unveiled his latest epic adventure. Along with timeless, classic platforming gameplay, Achievement Unlocked offers you the opportunity to earn no less than One. Hundred. Achievements. Holy bat farts on a bus.
"100 achievements!?!?" I hear you splutter, spraying muffin crumbs all over your keyboard, "That is so many achievements, it puts me in personal danger! The dopamine-eating dwarf who lives in my brain will grow fat and heavy, and then my head will loll to one side and I'll have to walk all funny! My important work as a photograph-straightener will suffer! Please don't make me click on the game, Mr. Man With the Words."
But it's not me who requests your clickage. It's the elephant. He throws marvelous rave parties, his skin is a fetching shade of blue, he appreciates polka and ragtime music, and he thinks that you should play his game. It will hurt his feelings if you don't. Why do you want to hurt the elephant? Can't you understand the depth of his elephant emotions? He only wants to help you get achievements. Pretty, shiiiiiny achievements. Achievements are very useful. Maybe you can share them with your friends, or make a little house out of them. And then you and your friends can all live in the house with your new elephant buddy and you will be happy together and you can eat achievements for all your meals until there's no more house left.
And then you will be free.
Thanks to Repairmanman and Loki for sending this one in!
Really makes fun of all the games that include achievements today ^^ Guess gamers should find satisfaction by themselves from now on instead of relying on the game to tell them.
I love achievements. This game entertained me.
I can't figure out how to get too much contra.
I just have a slight problem with getting the colour changing achievements. How can you get them? Thanks,
Sara:
Type something on the keyboard.
Rubenes:
Your number is up.
Am I the only one who really wants a sequel to this game? Maybe with a bigger level, more control options, and most importantly, lots more achievements to unlock?
I need Get off Your Seats and Total Confusion.
Total Confusion should be:
holding left, right, up, down all together
It just doesn't seem to work.
Allbadger
Get off your seat
Jump, I think the exact requirement is that you jump/stay airborn for fifteen seconds.
Total Confusion
shift key. It does nothing in the game
Kyle - for Total Confusion:
Pressing [space] worked for me. Perhaps it's either key?
My bad
Total Confusion:
space bar, not shift key
And I think I have get off your seats wrong.
I love this game! I got all of the achievements apart from
the ones where you needed to change the elephants colour. How do you do that?
and obviously the one where you need to get all the achievements. Really fun and addictive!
Oh and get off your seats is
just hold your finger on the up key and dont let go for at least ten seconds
You Finished in
1032 Seconds
Only had 2 missing after I found the "hint?" achievement.
Luke:
Try the number keys
Does anyone know how to get graveyard? I can't seem to kill them quick enough!
Joshy
For graveyard and cemetary I think the only way you can really accomplish it is if you start aiming for the moving platform at the top. That's the only thing that kills and respawns you quick enough to rack up the corpses.
I figured what I had wrong with get off your seats...
You have to HOLD the up key, you can't just keep tapping it up.
Pretty fun game. Gameplay is great, but I feel the story and character development is a bit lacking. I was left with more questions than when I began.
I worked out how to do the colours.
Press 1, 2, 3 and 4
Hope this helps you out!
I only need We have liftoff 1 o'clock murder, programmers credit, contra and too much freetime achiev? Anybody knows how to get them?
Kasper:
We have liftoff: Touch the numbers in opposite order.
1 'o clock murder: Jump into the moving spikes so that the corpse lands where the 01 is.
Contra: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A
Too much freetime: You should be able to get that one without help. ;)
SonicLover: I want a sequel, too. I loved this game so much...
nice game, finished in 741 seconds...
@Kasper
We have liftoff
what happens just before someone says, we have liftoff??
look at the achievement number 22
1 o'clock murder
similar to number 30
programmers credit
what's the name of the programmer?
contra
remember an ancient game...
too much freetime
just finish all the previous
That was completely pointless, utterly inane, and yet totally satisfying, and the most fun toy I've played with in a while.
I thoroughly enjoyed achieving Graveyard.
Keep teh awesomes coming!!
OK for some reason, I'm just not able to complete Programmer's Credit. I know what I need to do, but I must be doing it wrong somehow. It's the last one I need besides "Too Much Free Time" so please help!
Where is point 5? I can't seem to find. it
OK, got it in 810. Here's a hint for anyone who's having trouble.
If you can't seem to get the an achievement that requires you to type something, jump into the spikes and try again with a new life. It may be that it clears the memory. All I know is that it worked for me.
would it be wrong for me to point out that there is an achievement you get by
Clicking the hint button
And that after you do that, well...
you shouldn't really need to ask anyone how to get the rest of the achievements
I mean, i'd found most of them before i realized it, but, you know. it's there.
oh my bad. i guess it doesn't tell you everything. it just told me everything i needed to know once i found it.
ignore my idiocy. :)
Oh, wow! That was fun! I feel like I've achieved something. What a way to start the afternoon! I feel like I can do anything now! I'm off to clean the house! I'm off to bake cookies! I'm off to build a barn! Woo!
I know I shouldnt feel like I achieved anything really but I dooooo!
*The programmers are in my brain knowing what makes me tick*
point 5
is under the platform you start on
Programmers credits
type the programmers name on the keyboard
jmtb02
[Edit: Please don't copy and paste walkthroughs. Especially one that the game developer provided himself. ;-) -Psychotronic]
I was close to finished and working on the typed in achievments. I still needed Contra...
I remembered Doom from a recent post and typed 'idkfa'
Suddenly, everything was complete and I won!
I tried that again in a new game and couldn't repro.
it seems that there are differing ways to get contra. my mistake
Repairmanman that walkthrough is kind of useless.
I managed to get contra by just typing the word 'contra'
Be careful if you have an Azerty keyboard, you cannot do step # 77 ( you need to have a look where the "m" key is on a kwerty keyboard ( near the "n" key). I just spend 10 minutes trying to figure that :)
And actually, you need to look at a kwerty keyboard for the step # 78 as well ( If you have an azerty).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Qwerty.svg
So, this game was changed because of me... initially there was an achievement for 300 seconds of playing. I beat the game under 300 seconds, made a video, and jmtb02 changed the achievement (my name is on the loading screen!). Also got a blog post about it on armorblog.com.
THERE'S A NEW ACHIEVEMENT????!!!
Thanks, Tassel.
Thanks a whole lot!
heh, I was wondering how I beat the game in under 300 seconds. (got 253)
nice job tassel.
I just can't do #32 get off your seats...
I know you have to jump, but your jumps last like 3 seconds?
hint please!
False alarm. did it accidentally now.
thanks.
I got 1209 Seconds. I got everything but the achievements with numbers without a walkthrough. I didn't figure out that you could touch the numbers in order.
The "Too Much Contra" achievement is obtained by entering the classic Konami Code: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A. It appears in numerous Konami games, not just the famous Contra.
Cooley123:
I got the Get off Your Seats by:
resting at the top of the launcher on the right side and pressing up for 10 or 15 seconds
I cant get #13: Stalagmite. I dont know what to do! HELP ME!
You can Get Off Your Seats by
Holding down the up key for 10 or so seconds. If you're jumping constantly, that's fine.
look, all of the answers are on the hint guide, except for maybe the contra one, explained here. or the colors, also here.
Hey you can also get the 'Contra' one by typing:
c-o-n-t-r-a
and SonicLover, I agree with you 100% on a sequel. :)
The funny thing about people posting hints is
it makes people less likely to get one of the achievements!
[Edit: Please don't copy and paste walkthroughs. Especially one the game developer provided himself. ;-) -Psychotronic]
no joke... my final score was 1337
I have the impression I wasn't supposed to like this game. Like the game's some sort of an argument to a criticism.. But I like it! =D~ So many achievements!! I feel so happy inside.. lol
Of course, the game isn't that fun. But it took me just a few minutes and the sense of humor is great. :]
finished in 314 seconds on 2nd try, just like the pi achievement! haha, ty all for helpful hints, especially the colors
I got it done in 657 seconds! Yay me! And i want a sequel
Hehe, I beat the game in 605 seconds.
Now that I have the cheat page open, I may as well do a speed run. Be right back.
372. If you want proof, here it is.
How do I do Stalagmite?
Stalagmite:
Go up to Point 01. Then fall down into the lifter on the right. This will give you enough lift to go over the lower blocks on the left, but not enough that you will hit the upper blocks, like you do, if you go into the lifter from the bottom. Now fly over those blocks and into the spike pit.
I dunno what happened but there's some sort of glitch in this game. I started typing dirty words on the keyboard and out of nowhere I got the Too Much Contra achievement! I have no idea why. I don't remember exactly what I typed but I was just typing random foul language and it came up!
I tried it again but it didn't work . . .
Graveyard:
I just jumped at the moving spikes continuously. If you keep pushing jump in that direction, you should die pretty fast.
Programmer's credit final solution :
To achieve this, you need to type the numbers of the programmer's name with the keys just above the letters, not with pad on the right of the keyboard.
I finished in 453
Almost as amusing as the review *grins*
That was just so fun. :)
Hi! This was a super fun game!!! It's really cool. I totally think that they should make a sequel! But they should make it more challenging...
how do you change the colour of the elephant
663 Seconds
Woot :D
finished in 500 seconds excactly
no walk through help
What can really help you to get a faster time is to do all the easy achievements first.
For example: Vertical Confusion, Horizontal Confusion, Programmers Credit, Changing colors etc.
And then finish doing ones that take a much longer ammount of time.
Half Century and Century take a while to get.
Also it helps that when finding the number points:
If you know where all the points are, get them in order so you can also get the 'I Can Count To 5' achievement and then you won't have to go through the same process. Also, let's say you got the 'Meaning of Life' achievement, go straight into doing the '(2*125)+3' achievement, then the 'Pi', then '3*(30/(15-13))' then 'THIS IS SPARTA' because the last numbers of all of those are the first numbers of the next sequence. (Except for the 'This is Sparta' achievement.)
These really help a bunch. Each time I play this game, using what I just wrote, I get a shorter time. I just got 270. :) I hope this helps you too.
For Contra
I think all you really need to do is press the 'a' key.
I just finished in 211. I'm pretty sure < 200 is possible.
453 seconds on my second try...wooo
419,,,grrrr
too much contra:type contra in the game.
How do you get Meaning Of Life?
The contra one is supposed to be 'left-right-left-right-up-down-up-down-b-a'
(the original has select at the end, but there's no select key on a keyboard)
anonymouse, you mean you don't know the answer to life, the universe, and everything? Why, it's
42! Hit numbers 4 and 2 in that order.
Get it right, and you'll prove you're one froopy snood!
. . . yeah, okay, I'm all done being a geek now. Promise.
Dora:
I think you might mean "hoopy frood" ;)
406 Seconds :P
easier way to get too much contra: type contra
Congrats!
you finished in 504 seconds!
...i need a life...
Loltastic at all of these
Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
references.
Anyway, my first run was 1000-something. Pitiful.
My second run was 469 seconds.
Pretty good diference, eh?
hey i suggested this and did not get credit for suggesting it
Cleared in 504 seconds :D
150 seconds.
woot.
My basic approach is to first get the number sequence ones, then jump around/survival/keypresses, then the death related ones. All the others can be had along the way getting those main three areas.
The main key is to string the number sequences together so you can be working on multiple sequences simultaneously.
yay i got 6142.60 seconds! yay :)
(im happy)
I got 288 just now, my personal best. Man, this game is so fun to speedrun...
Change colour
type 01 for blue,
02 for pink
03 for orange
and 04 for orange black and pink
Okay, i still don't understand how to get the last achievement. I have all 98 of the others, but this one just won't do anything. What does it mean get 99 achievements? that's the 99th that you need! is this a joke?
1580 seconds... please leave a more detailed version of the 'Stelagmite' achievement, because it took over 1000 seconds to get that one achievement.
yes!!! 241 seconds on my 2nd go. :) this game is soo great its going in my faves. :D
135 Seconds!
I got 2-5-3 by accident, which made it so fast. Century and Longevity take too long.
Brilliant! Speed run, 343. Only had to cheat for colours and contra
Why is everybody typing a different thing for the Too Much Contra achievement? I typed "Contra". Anyway, I'm going to try to get all achievements as quickly as possible. I'll post a report soon.
um... one problem about the stalagmite one, um if you jump from point 1 and go into that lifter you DO go over the lower blocks and dodge the upper blocks but then you hit the upper lifters and they make you hit the ceiling. so i don't know what to do now.
i finished the game in 501 seconds!
stalagmite is impossible, any more detailed explanations?
Well, I've played this game way too many times, always attempting to beat my previous score. So far I've managed under 250, but I'm certain I can do better. The only one I ever have problems with is No Cheese For You because I keep forgetting what to do! I know the answer is
to simply click the screen
but I always forget, and it's the only achievement left at the end, and I always jump around looking like the world's dumbest pink elephant before I remember. Bah. One day, I will win against myself. One day.
You Finished in
617 Seconds
Ehh..^Second Try^
I finished in 562 seconds!
2 change color press 1-4 on keyboard. i finished in 369 sec
512 Seconds WOO HOO
Total confusion is
spacebar,
the color changing you use
1 2 3 4
and get off your seats is
jump constantly for 10 seconds
I know how to change colour but I forgot blue:
q2=pink w3=orange e4=black
Hope this helped.
Stalactite? how can i do?
789 seconds!!!
For colors type jmtb01 jmtb02 jmtb03 jmtb04
I got it in 3191 seconds, because of my Dvorák keyboard.
1122 seconds...not that great, but fun all the same. :D
445 Seconds I WIN!!!
NOT SO FAST… 415 seconds!!! :-)
update:
412!
WOOT!
How do you get Secret Alcove?
Stalagmite
Fall from the ceiling onto the spike pit near the bottom.
i got 343...
5th time though...
not to bad, i hope!
How do you get achievement pi?
Hi guys. I figured out the other version of this! Well not really but I know a game with same looking spikes same elephant same maker! anyways how do you do stalagmite?? the other walkthroughs say, hit an upward facing spike at high speed. what heck does that mean?!! i already beat this game but i like it! :) please reply!
Update
