How to unlock the Platinum Club achievement

    You need to play Endless mode and try to save up enough lives to last the later waves.

    This achievement was more of a test of patience than skill. As long as you can last for a minute without dying at any point later in the game, you can do this achievement. The deaths come easy. The explosions hide your ship and enemies which makes avoiding a collision hard (impossible at times) to see. You have to learn the game to know you have cleared the space beneath the explosions. It only takes a few deaths to knock you out from getting to wave 30. Try your best to work around this. The player ship has a lot of momentum, so do not second-guess your path decision or you will likely die. It is better to shoot something coming at you than to dodge it. Dodging is basically impossible. I do not think you can shoot the blue enemy's bullets, so you have to plan around those. You have to pre-plan more than react. Think of it that way. It's a proactive game, not reactive.

    Strategy 1: Circle the field and let many enemies follow you, as there appears to be an on-screen limit to the number of enemies so it limits the enemies in your path that spawn. However, this is long and can test your patience. Plus the blue enemies sometimes pick you off with their shots. I think it would work, but I did it another way:

    Strategy 2: Act aggressive and kill enemies quickly to get it over with sooner, sticking on one side of the map unless you have to retreat to the other side. I was able to unlock the achievement in 17 minutes and 45 seconds this way:
    You can see that shortly after winning the achievement I die off fairly quick numerous times, because my energy and patience is spent at this point.

    MattiasAndersonWave 27 = 1430 Kills or so!
    Wave 28 = 1500 Kills or so!
    Wave 29 = 1750 Kills or so!

    18.000 kills required to reach wave 30!

    (When getting close it can be good to know how many kills left). Took these numbers from your video.

    To others I would like to say that from wave 8 I start with the circle around strategy. The important part is to always shoot ahead of you while moving around. And only shoot back when there are lack of enemies and if you feel something is about to hit you from behind use the bomb or a dash. I just got the 5 million this way and hope to get this achievement soon. This game is nagging me and I really want to finish it now. laugh

    Wiggle the right analog when moving around to have the shots more spread out. It hurts my thumb and I don´t think this game is good for the controller.
