How to unlock the Survival achievement in Jetpac Refuelled - Definitive Guide
Try and complete the levels as quickly as possible because the longer you take, the more aliens will appear on the screen at once.
Try and get the three way laser power up as quickly as possible as this gives you a bit more protection (keep collecting everything that falls from the top of the screen and every 5th collectible or so will be a laser power up)
If the screen is getting really full or you're in trouble then use a smart bomb to kill everything on the screen at once. As soon as you start level 10 the achievement will pop.
If you die at any point before you reach level 10 then you must start again from level 1.

It's also worth bearing in mind that if you are carrying fuel or a piece of the ship, you are protected. This means that you can be hit without dying. If you do get hit you will drop the item leaving you vulnerable to any further attacks though. So pick up again as soon as you can. Use this strategy to avoid wasting smart bombs.

Yep, good tip. Just bear in mind that the next fuel won't appear until you've dropped off the one you're carrying.

Tips:
- Save your BOMBS for when you absolutely HAVE to use them
- Pick up weapon power ups whenever you can, every 3 pick ups will permanently upgrade your gun for future levels
- Finish the levels as quick as you can, the longer you take, the more enemies will start spawning with increased frequency
- Practice makes perfect, don't give up right away, it gets easier every time you retry
Good Luck :)

I know you probably won't see this to update your solution, but in case anyone else sees this: you can only hold a maximum of 5 bombs/EMPs at a time. If you have 5 already, don't waste your time trying to get another however if one spawns then only get it either if you need another bonus to spawn or if you use one during that level.

I finally got this ridiculous achievement today!! What I do is not go as fast as possible because you are bound to fly into a spawning enemy. Take your time (with a little hustle, but careful) and try to fly up and then across, not diagonally because again, better chance of flying into a new enemy. Upgrade your Lazer to the max, or at least get the three beam shot and just before the level ends, grab the next power up and you will start with that level of Lazer (not the base when you first start) so it is more powerful. Get the three beam asap. I saved all of my bombs unless I absolutely needed them. My worst level is level 8 and I finished it by using 6 bombs on it. These are little army or rock statue guys that fly around. They vary in speed and don't die when you hit them, they break into smaller guys and are hard to move around. Just use bombs once the fuel is available. Level 9 wasn't bad but you do have to build your ship. The little yellow/orange guys are hard to see against the background so again, take your time. Hope this helps someone!!
This one can be annoying. To facilitate things, DON'T make any unnecessary moves to pick up points. You don't want to make extra lives...you can't lose one anyway.
However, you may want to pick them up if they are near you or your fuel tank, since picking them up will let you get another item, like EMP's or gun upgrades. Always use bombs when enemies are numerous, but try to keep some for level 8, which is the hardest of the 9 you have to do. When you reach level 10, the achievement will unlock..
