Awards and Achievements discussion

[HoloSam]

Hey, I just completed all awards and achievements! Many thanks to those who helped me with a couple things. If anyone is stuck and wants to know the details for something in particular, I'll be glad to answer.

Here's an image of the complete awards screen: https://steamcommunity.com/id/orchidalloy/screenshot/974375368223624066

For a few awards I had to guess what they were by looking at their icons in the game files. For many hidden achievements I had to look at Steam's list to see their descriptions.

I'm missing an achievement that says "Keep enemies sneezing for 10 seconds". I don't remember any enemy in this game sneezing under any circumstances, what's that all about? o_o Thanks!

You can make enemies sneeze in one of the mini games.

[HoloSam]

Thank you! I'd totally forgotten.

Hi there! Sorry for bothering on such an old thread, but do you remember your tactic to getting the "Blackout" achievement? (7 enemies with EMP) It's the only one I have left.

Hey, sorry for the wait. I figured it out pretty easily I remember, but it's a bit tricky to perform. In one of the maps there's a tunnel at the very top. Theres some machines to the left and a room with more machines on the right, where you get a powerup. If you combine those with good enough timing and find one or two more, you get the achievement. I also think you need to use the tank robot since it attacks "slower" and the EMPs take longer to explode. You might even need to place bombs on a machine more than once to ensure it stays frozen until the next one can be frozen. Any other advantage you find should be used.

[Folkius]

I see, so it wasn't 7 frozen enemies with just one bomb, but rather multiple ones. That made it much easier, lmao. Thank you!

Just for the record of anyone else who comes here, the Love Robot and the classic map helped with this.

I know that this thread is so incredibly old, but I have no idea how to get some of these achievements. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the Spelling Bee Champion one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Folkius]

Spelling Bee Champion, huh?
My memory is fuzzy, but I remember that while playing a level you'd often find a random letter; if you pick it up, it'll start a timer and you have to find the other letters before it runs out.
I often found it easier to just go after them when I had all my upgrades.

It needs to be on all "main" levels at ALL difficulties. Not totally sure, but I think I did that. I would suggest a spreadsheet if you get too lost. There also are a couple of bonus games that include these kind of letters, so you could be missing those ones too.

[TheKirbs]

Thanks for the help! Completely forgot that one of the Mutations did that!

[Revalopod]

It would be really awesome if you could create a guide. There is currently a guide but it only tells achievement descriptions, not how to obtain them
but I understand that would take a lot of time and effort, so anyway thanks for having this thread then :D

[Revalopod]

I have a question:
Can you earn achievements with cheats?
it says you can't earn records or high scores, but what about Steam achievements?

[Folkius]

Pretty sure cheats won't work either.

[Revalopod]

aw :C

Ive been using cheats for all of these. Still getting the achievements. Makes it a lot easier

[Revalopod]

For "Spelling Bee Champ" (Spell all the words, even in the bonus games):

do you need to do the easy, classic and remix versions of each game?
or is doing them all just on easy + the bonus games all that's required?

[HoloSam]

yes, all versions
