How to unlock the Black Silver achievement in Fusion Dots - Definitive Guide

This unlocked for me on stage 49 when the goal was to create a 10AM dot, I don't know if this was a glitch or whether it unlocks this way for everyone yet.

Everyone will have their own strategy for this game so this won't be much help as if you've reached stage 49, you already probably have it pretty figured out.

The strategy I used is fairly simple but may require some practice. Essentially you want to keep your most valuable dot in one of the corners (I use top left or top right for simplicity). If you are keeping that dot in the top row, try to fill the top row full of dots so that when you swipe left/right your valuable dot stays in its corner. The other rule to this strategy is NEVER SWIPE DOWN as you are likely to lose you dot in it's corner, or the top row structure.

Basically you keep your top row stacked with all of your most valuable dots, usually in a snake like pattern (i.e. 9am - 8am - 7am - 6am). Then you have to manipulate the rest of the board with up, right and left swipes in order to create dots to fuse with your valuable dots. When you fuse your top row dots, try to fill the top row again fairly quickly and work on upgrading whichever dot you put in so it catches up to the rest of the row.

Sometimes using this strategy you will get stuck and have to swipe down. This is very annoying and will usually lose me the game. You can get better at predicting when this might happen (usually your top two rows are full, 3 in your 3rd row and you slide left/right and a fourth spawns in that third row, leaving the bottom row empty and no other moves). Do your best to prevent this from happening but it is something that definitely comes with experience.

Sorry this isn't a super guide or anything. This is a tough game, power-ups will be your friend a lot of the time. Colour up is probably the most useful power-up, it essentially halves the amount of time/moves you be removing the lowest value dot and starting at 1am dots. This means going for 10am will be more like going for 9am. I got this achievement in particular without using I definitely found it useful on other levels.

Good luck, if you have any questions feel free to comment, I will try to incorporate more information into the solution based on questions.

EDIT: playerforty4 has confirmed that you can get the 11AM (and probably the 12AM) achievement on certain objective based levels. If you have an objective such as fuse four pairs of dots four times or have 4 7AM dots at once or something like that, and there is no timer/move limit (or if you're fast enough even with the time limit), you may be able to just play the game normally and try to earn these achievements without progressing fully through the stages.

I'm fairly certain that the 11-dot is for the 10am dot and 12-dot is for the 11am dot, based on the achievement images and the fact that the 0-dot starts at 12am.

Hey frenchdawg - your strategy is a very sound one in terms of in-game play. And thanks for the info regards when the achievement pops.

I can confirm that you can get this achievement by playing an earlier level. I was playing stage 38 when I made my 10AM dot. I accidentally made 3 7AM dots and ended my game... and I didn't have enough gems for a color up, so couldn't get the 11AM dot.

I have no idea how you've even made it to 49... 45 seems completely impossible to me.

That said, 45 is a great level to do this achievement on. Was kinda close to 12AM as well, but I didn't get it due to being an idiot.

I got very lucky on level 45. Completely screwed up my formation with 3 7AM dots and had to rely on some lucky spawns and had to use the fly powerup in order to finish it off

Oops, I meant that I got it on stage 41 - the one with no timer :P

How does the Color Up power up work? I can't get it to do anything after I activate it.

Colour up stops the yellow 12AM dots from spawning. You will only get 1AM spawns or higher. Since this is taking one dot out of the equation, if you use colour up at the start of the game you will only have to make half the matches you would have if you hadn't used it. It doesn't automatically upgrade dots that are already on the field, only upgrades newly spawned dots

I want to note that it just changes the spawns +1, so it's 1-dot and 2-dot instead of 0-dot and 1-dot. I was hoping it would just spawn 1-dots, but it still has the mixed dot mechanic meant to screw you over and provide "unpredictability".

I just unlocked this on level 41, but ran out of diamonds for undo to make the 12am, as I had 2 of the 3 6am dots and 2 5's side by side with no other move.

I used color up, undo and fly and only had 31 diamonds before attempting this.
