Achievement Unlocked Game Exactly What It Says

Poking fun at the various Achievement systems now common throughout gaming, a silly little browser game called Achievement Unlocked is exactly what it says: a game where the only goal is to earn Achievements.

I managed to resist the siren lure of Achievements for a while, but when they came to World of Warcraft I was forced to admit what many other gamers have realized about themselves: I was an Achievement Whore.

Incidentally, that's exactly the mindset that Armor Games are poking fun at with Achievement Unlocked [http://armorgames.com/play/2893/achievement-unlocked], a charming browser game where you control a tiny blue elephant and the only goal is ... earning Achievements. Some of my personal favorites are "You found the Developer's Favorite Spot," or "You entered the Konami Code!"

One can't help but wonder if it's slightly ironic to be satisfied with earning every single Achievement in a game that specifically teases gamers who hold that frame of mind.

Achievement Unlocked is the brainchild of John Cooney (Jmtb02) who heads up game developer for Armor [http://www.armorgames.com/].

I don't know if it's just the music but I find it really charming...I think it's the music.

It's actually surprisingly good for a quick time waster

EDIT: I also feel kinda sad for getting them all

EDIT2: I also feel bad for doing again in 445 seconds

Try hitting some other buttons on your keyboard.

Woohoo! 100% for no adequet reason!

I fell...empty...

 

[j1-2themax]

Dah! My keyboard works against me!
I cannot get those orange or black achievements, even when I press almost literally every button on my keyboard.

I almost had them all until I realized that it was a Kongregate game that didn't offer badges. Booooo.

A game solely about achievements doesn't have badges. Ironic?

I still haven't really been hooked onto Achievements yet, cause I'm too lazy to get most of them. I think the last game I came close to getting all Achievements in was Braid, and almost all of those are just rewarded for beating stages. Woot. I'm a pro gamer.

Lol this a must play. I've been trying to get the exploration achievements while saving up * for cold weather flying. What if they implement this as an addon? Achievement unlocked - Achievement Unlocked! Paradox anyone?

gold spammer ban?

That was manually-crafted goldselling spam. Like... that required actual human effort.

I'm almost impressed.

O GOD NO HELP ME

I actually beat this game in about 15 minutes, but yeah, it was a lot of fun. I'm a gamerscore whore, what can I say?

 

[stompy]

Must... resist... must... resist...

 

[Jumplion]

Ha! I got all the achievments in under 4 minutes!

Beat that!
