Achievements are rewards that may be earned for various feats. They were added to the game on February 21st. There are currently 50 achievements in total.
If you earn an achievement, it will be saved if cookies are enabled. Once one is saved, it can be viewed in full color on the Achievement panel, accessible by clicking the Achievements button on the main screen. Until then, the achievement icon is in grayscale. There is no prize for finishing an achievement, except for possible bragging rights. There is still no prize for finishing all the achievements.
It’s best to finish the achievement ‘Got Gud’ in Survival mode (which was removed when Mothership got added back), as lots of players spawn at level one and in a small area, allowing the player to battle low leveled players and kill them. Suggested classes for this strategy and game mode include using the Twin or the Machine Gun.
If one is trying to finish ‘Destroy EVERYTHING’ quickly, the player needs to focus on destroying Polygons more than Bosses or other players. Crowd control tanks like the Penta Shot, Octo Tank, Battleship, or Spread Shot will likely work, since the spread-out bullets are likely to destroy all nearby polygons quickly.
Trivia[]
The Achievement Sidebar before the UI update
In earlier versions, achievements use be in menu if the mouse hovers to the right. The archievements themeselves would cycle though conveyor style, fading in and out of the screen.
The Square is the only specific polygon to be used for earning at least three achievements.
Player can also destroy Necromancer Drones for the achievements, as they are classified as "Squares" themselves.
This doesn't work with Summoner Drones, however.
Players could once achieve achievements in Sandbox, but it was soon removed.
“There are other classes?” achievement used to be “Wait, there are other classes?”
As of the March 2nd update, the progress toward acquiring each achievement is now numbered as a percentage (only for achievements that this feature applies to; ones that involve quantity)
The colors of earned achievements are the UI theme colors (same ones as the game mode buttons, stats, etc.) looping repeatedly.
