It feels weird hearing Knuckles' voice after such a long time.
But yeah, that's an achievement I'll never get.

Well, I could always come back on the Fancast to promote the new site and its obvious new hotness.

just requires a bit of persistance & luck in which direction you happen to be heading at the given moment.
the best advice for this achievement is to stay in the center of the screen & make minimal movements - took me around 5mins to get the achievement :)

Where'd you get that screenshot? It's like an old build of the game or something, heh.

I think that's a screen from Geo Wars Waves which was a bonus teaser of a minigame in PGR4

That video should be done within the week. I plan on hitting all Geo Wars 2 Achievements.

nicely done i can't even get through sequence so this should help a lot.

That means you'll get Game Over and Smile at once. Also, my method for smile leaves you with an extra life, so if you mess up once before finishing, you should still get Game Over.

Couldn't manage the smile achievement just yet, but this definitely helped me get the "Game Over" achievement. Thanks Knuckles!

Just watched the video. I almost did it the exact same way. Only thing was I saved 2 bombs for the last stage. I got there twice and both times died within like 3 seconds. So, I didn't use a bomb on the gravity well stage.
This was the best video I've seen for Smile. It is nice having someone talk and point out important things for each stage. Like not shooting a gravity well on the stages with all the blue diamonds.

No problem, Ben.
And Hoffer, Many thanks. We're trying to set a new standard in Achievement Guide videos in production value, etc. And I usually can get through the Gravity Well level without bombing, but the compound pull of a bunch of them can be a little...random. Still, I mention in the video that bombing there is optional.

The majority of them are a bit easier to get than in GeoWars1.
Also, if you enjoyed the first one (despite the difficulty!) then you'll LOVE GeoWars2.

Just to add, I was in the same boat as you with the 1st game but got quite a few achievements on my first session of GW2.

I had no idea what that achievement meant (then again, I wasn't even trying), so thanks!
Oh yeah, even though I'm not that pro at GW2, after seeing your video, I realised that I don't suck THAT hard too ^^
You also got some nice strategies for some stages that hammer me pretty hard, that will be helpful to increase my score (my current best score on sequence is 28M)

I found the best strategy is to not worry about doing it sequentially; it's a lot easier to control all the blue squares by herding them, then darting to the other side before they can change direction, etc.
...that being said, it's still pretty damn hard!
