Thanks a million, Salsa. These achievements were kicking my tail, and I enjoyed it a lot. :D
Salsa 28 Sep 2015 20:51
Cheers. Planned to take care of it some time ago. I like challenging sets, both making and playing with. It was a pleasure :)
PumpkinEscobar 7 Oct 2016 00:52
Thanks for the achievements! Bonus Points I did not unlock for me when I got it on level 1.
teie 21 Apr 2019 11:40
Stage Clear Achievements only work if you clear a stage no damage. Why isn't this condition mentioned in the description?
Salsa 23 Apr 2019 10:39
Damage? There are no hp in this game
teie 23 Apr 2019 11:51
Since there is no lifebar/hp, no damage = without losing a life. Logic.
Salsa 23 Apr 2019 12:09
there is no condition for lives included in the code, except one for not having any (game over)
teie 23 Apr 2019 12:16
Weird, stage 2 didn't trigger for me until I cleared the stage without losing a life. Stage 3 doesn't trigger at all and I can only assume that it didn't because I lost a life mid-way through the stage.

Which ROM (checksum) and emu you are using?

el stage 2 no se activo el logro. me pase el stage 3 y si se activo el logro ... no entiendo.
matias19942 7 Jul 2019 02:46
ahora active un truco y me tomo el stage 2 y en hardcore XD no necesito los trucos para jugar un juego porque estos son con los que me crie... pero fue la unica forma de activarlo. Gracias salsa, me encantan tus retos n.n

Why removed the achievement of the passage of the game without death and shield?
Arekdias 14 Jul 2019 19:55
Too unfair for casuls. I am mostly against that but at least it will not be wasted and will be moved to bonus set. Though it would be much better if achievements were demoted/moved AFTER a bonus set appears and not before.
Salsa 14 Jul 2019 20:24
This achievement was demoted right now, because it violates develpers CoC. This set will also be recored regardless, so you don't need to worry about your points.
playah1 13 Jul 2022 17:25
This set helped teach me that I really, really suck at shoot-'em-ups.
poisongirlss 28 May 2023 18:28
I am dumb and don't understand how to activate the first stage warp. It says do it when the thousand digit is even, but I've beaten the boss with an even thousand digit and it doesn't unlock.
aphexlambda 2 Feb 2024 03:34
Mastered!

This game is so fun, easy to digest and easy to learn! Cult of Rapa Nui was 100% the hardest cheevo for me, finding a route for that was pretty fun.

Now onwards to Gradius II!
Kratostheboi 5 Jun 2024 16:58
Mastered and my first time ever beating this game!

Never thought i would finish a Gradius game considering im pretty average at shmups.
Thanks for the set devs!
