Introduction and Basics
Introduction
After picking up this game on a whim, I played through it and enjoyed the experience much more than I thought i would. Some of these achievements were difficult to figure out by playing, so I've compiled all of what I've found during my play-through.

Lots of the challenges in the game are very fun and rewarding, so give it your best shot!

Game Basics
I think it's helpful to establish the format of the Solo Test and how it works.
The minigames seen in the Solo Test may appear to be random, but they always follow a set pattern, only changing the category of each game:
  1. Opening Game. Tank A, Tank B, or 8Bit.
  2. General Mini Game. Hold Out!, When it glows, Get the Red, Get all that you can, Get through it!, Time Bomb, Avoid Bullets, Quiz.
  3. Nice Bomb I.
  4. Bullet Dodge. Bullet Dodge A or B.
  5. General Mini Game.
  6. Obstacle Dodge. Ball Dodge or Building Dodge.
  7. Rapid Fire. Board or Meteor.
  8. Nice Bomb II.
  9. General Mini Game.
  10. Ending Game. Empty Cans.
Knowing the game order can be useful when going after achievements for games that only appear in the Solo Test.
Standard Achievements
These achievements cover regular gameplay and supplemental minigames.

Name
Guide
Shooting Love.
I haven't given up on love yet!
Start the game and go to the main menu.
Screw-Up
You really screwed up...
Fail the Meteor minigame by getting hit by a meteor.
Nice Bomb!
Nice bombing
Successfully detonate a Nice Bomb near your ship during a Solo Test.
Game Over
These things happen
Fail the Nice Bomb minigame by dodging the bomb pickup or by not getting enough points.
Long Time No See
Playing every once in a while, you sometimes find new appeal to games. Try playing with a fresh start!
Play the game seven days after the last time played.
Saw It Through!
You saw it through!
During the See It Through! minigame, survive to the end or destroy all enemy tanks. This minigame can only be played during the Solo Test.
All Games Unlocked
Now the real game begins!
Unlock all of the minigames. This should be unlocked after completing the test a few times.
Side-Scrolling Love.
Side-scrolling shooters in horizontal mode! (Be careful, since turning a regular TV on its side is a fire hazard! Use a special monitor!)
Rotate the screen to horizontal in screen settings, and then start a new game.
Rare Game
You got quizzed
Play the Quiz Minigame. It only appears in the Solo Test very rarely. (I've heard around a 1/200 chance.) Keep playing the Solo Test until you find it.
You're Young
Thank you very young!
Get a Gamer Age lower than 20 in the Solo Test. You should get this one with a score higher than 300k, but doing well through the whole test and getting as many clears as possible should get you there.
Cheers To Me!
You saved the earth
Unlock and beat the Empty Can challenge. The requirement is 100 cans in 10 minutes, which should be easy enough at a steady pace.
Surprisingly Impressive!
That's actually the harder option.
Get zero points in the Get all that you can! minigame. Avoiding all the medals can be tricky, so I recommend going into practice mode and trying it repeatedly until you unlock the achievement.
Master Achievements
These achievements cover the completion of the main minigames.

Tank A Master
Vroom vroom rumble rumble
Survive Tank A until Level 99. Once you reach the main battle scene, I recommend constantly moving side to side at the bottom of the screen, holding Autofire and dodging enemy bullets. Staying in constant motion is the key to evasion!
Tank B Master
A miraculous tank series.
Survive Tank B until Level 99. Another Tank stage similar to Tank A, but a new scene and a whole variety of other tanks and projectiles. Again, keep in motion at the bottom and dodge everything coming your way.
8bit Master
This is a nice track, isn't it?
Make it to Level 99 in 8bit. Although you aren't required to destroy all of the enemies, killing as many as you can reduces the amount of their projectiles to dodge. Fire as rapidly as you can, dodge their attacks, and make it to the end.
Ball Dodge Master
Bloop-bloop-bloop balls
Dodge the balls until Level 99. The pattern of movement isn't preset and changes depending on your postion on screen. Try to anticipate each big move and try not to get yourself cornered.
Building Dodge Master
In addition to flying cars, there are birds and balloons that fly, too.
Same challenge as Ball Dodge, but now they're buildings. The odd shapes of the buildings make this one a little more difficult, but the same strategies apply. Move quickly and don't get stuck.
Bullet Bullet Bullet A Master
Bullet hell is nothing
Survive the Bullets until level 99. The full boss pattern is repeated twice, with the bullets being faster the second time around. No tricks here, this is a real test of your Shmup skills.
Bullet Bullet Bullet B Master
Perfect foresight
More bullet hell madness. The pattern here is also repeated twice until Level 99. Practice, memorize the patterns, and do your best!
Hold Out! Master
That's what Hold Out is all about
In the Hold Out! minigame, you not only need to pass the robot without getting hit, but you must pass next to all four sides of its body, indicated by small shines on each side. Learn the leg pattern and repeat it until you complete it successfully.
Don't Let It Get Away!
Break them all, without letting them get away! Reach Level 99! That board is nothing.
Just what the description says, destroy all of the boards and reach Level 99. Maintaining a rapid rate of fire is crucial to destroying the panels before they reach the bottom of the screen.
Great!
I know your secret. It's that you're great.
Reach Level 99 and complete the Meteor minigame. Shoot as much as you can, but make sure to prioritize survival over shooting every meteor. Remember, the planet can take quite a few hits while still surviving.
Bomb Disposal Squad
Perfect time-limit bombing
Complete the Time Bomb minigame. Be patient and shoot off the bombs one at a time. This is the easiest of the master achievements.
Get the Red Master
When you abbreviate Item Master...
Complete the Get the Red minigame. To unlock this achievement, the game has to specifically be collecting the red pickups, not blue or green. Replay it until you get red and complete it.
