For more information and basic guides, please view the official forum topic. Thank you. We need to know the secret of the hieros combinations. I just know Extra Life is more than 2 of the same kind.

Second Player will not get the cheevos. :) To reset the game, simply press the SELECT Button after you lose a life.
Zaphnath 10 Dec 2018 01:09
Omnicide can also kill the Sphinx.
JMaio 10 Dec 2018 01:27
Nice work Zaphnath!
Sarconius 16 Dec 2018 21:29
Can't seem to get "Walk the Falcon" or the 50 silver ingots achievements to trigger. Used omnicide on the sphinx after walking the whole level, but no unlock. You can obtain 5 silver ingots per level, but 20 levels in and still no unlock.

Walk The Falcon and 50 Silver Ingots were indeed broken. Now fix and working as intended.
