Achievement Requirements

[funky fresh beats]

Does anybody know the requirements that need to be met for the "Hack-868" achievement for this game? Based on the low percentage of completion, I'm thinking it's something like unlock all progs by winning, or topping the global leaderboards (hope it's not the latter). Does anyone know for sure?

there was some discussion on twitter, but I don't think anyone has figure it out yet. I am almost 100% certain that it isn't going to be topping the leaderboard, but I also suspect it is gonna be HARD AS NAILS.

You need a streak score of 868 or higher.

^ but Steam says 0.2% of players have the achievement, and no one on the leaderboards has a streak score that high?

[Brog]

i think someone hacked it
which is kind of in theme i guess

[BobbyRunout]

ha! so is it true then, 868 streak score?

i guessed it was getting on the front page of either global leaderboard

I love the way that Brog hasn't said what the requirement is...
If anything, the only thing he has hinted at; is to hack it! lol

[BobbyRunout]

I'm at 999 steam achievements and I've promised myself that my 1000th achievement will be HACK-868. Wish me luck...I may never play another Steam game with achievements again :P

The Dev once stated that the only people who have the achievement did indeed hack the game to get it. He did even state that he wasn't happy that's how they unlocked it. So I'm guess it's something in game.

The only person I have confirmed as having the achievement through the Steam interface is Michael himself. Other people on the leaderboard might have it, but they have private profiles that I can't see. Can anyone see whether anyone else at the top of the leaderboard has it?

It's possible to get the achievement just by legitimately playing the game.
(not that i'm against "cheating" it, that does seem well within the spirit of things)

hey yeah so I'm at the top of global leaderboards I straight hacked the game for score cap and I don't have the achievement. It must not be directly related to score. Possibly number of runs? Or score over runs? Idk

[serene grace]

Can confirm the achievement is not at all score related... It must be from playing a certain number of times? Maybe random chance? Maybe just stumbling on an easter egg? Spent all afternoon trying to cap different stats and no achievement. I've flooded the leaderboards tho... How frustrating.

[BobbyRunout]

Have you eliminated the possibility that it's getting maximum possible score within a single run?

[BobbyRunout]

Or maybe it's about getting all the programs in some maximum number of runs?
