level 101. The game was going so slow by this point w/ 24 sun gods, 15 stealth bombers, 25 fire shooting tack towers, etc., that i had it minimized and was doing other stuff between levels. Damn it.
For those having trouble 'dying' within 10 seconds, read the description of the MANIAC achievement again. It says "Kill yourself within 10 seconds of the game." If you're still confused, what that means is: 1) Start a game. 2) Pause game[press SPACE to pause] 3) Select [Quit The Game]. ********PleaseKeepThisBumped********
623...finally. Here's a tip: if you don't already have the Tower Height of 600 badge, when your tower is starting to tip, and you know you don't have much longer, start rapidly putting blocks on top of it. It doesn't matter if they aren't stable, it's falling down anyway. I was at about 450 when my tower started leaning to the left, and i used that strategy to get the badge.
I think there should be something were if it sits there for at least 45 seconds then it should count. On some levels, like lvl 34, it will wobble ever so slightly back and forth. I'll leave it on the screen and go do something else. 30 mins later I come back. still moving.
Just go in circles with half your ship off the screen. It will seam like shots are about to hit you but they hit the wall. Rarely do they hit you. You can easily rack up combos this way. I almost got the hard badge with only kills from lvl 20 doing this.
