How to unlock the Survivalist achievement in Hexic HD - Definitive Guide
After each round in Survival mode, it "Locks" the pieces that you were unable to eliminate during that round. You are unable to manipulate those locked pieces directly and can only remove them by moving other pieces next to them.
My tip for this is to ALWAYS concentrate on getting rid of the locked pieces first. Letting the locked pieces build up is what will kill you. If you keep the locked pieces under control you will get this achievement pretty easily after lasting 50 rounds.
I got it on my first try, and I don't think I'm particularly good at this game
Thank you :)
This can be done in two ways:
Play through 50 levels:
Complete all 50 levels. Look for big combos;getting a star (surrounding a tile with tiles of the same colour) or linking three multiplier tiles of the same color together destroys tiles around them, so use this to your advantage. Obviously, geting the locked tiles out is essential, to prevent your board filling up. Remember, if you need a break and quit, it will save your progress.
Empty the board:
If you should use up every tile on the board, you win. Easy as pie. It is suggested that this is the easiest way to accomplish this achievment, because in the initial few levels the color variations are rather limited, and by linking together a few stars you can easily destroy all the tiles.
keep having a go you will get it
The blocks do not fall and replace like in Marathon or Timed mode.
I would recommend just playing through the 50 levels as it is unlikely that you will be able to clear the entire board but if possible do so.
Whenever possible hit a flower combo to clear a lot of the board quicker.
Blocks "lock" themselves in place after each level if it was not possible for you to get them in the level before meaning they can not be moved although they can still be used in a combo and will not move until unlocked or destroyed.
Simple, time-consuming achievement.
You can get this achievement by either clearing the board or playing and finishing level 50. Clearing the board is easiest on level one because of the small variety of colours. The best and easiest way to do it is by getting two star flowers (which will destroy most of that color) and being lucky enough to have the remaining colors work well and match up. Otherwise you are stuck with beating level 50 and that will test your patience. Just clear the pieces from the center and if possible the sides and listen to some music, combos work nice and they help make it a little faster. Don't forget you can always quit and come back to the game at a later time if you start to get annoyed or bored.
