Fine Sweeper: 100% achievements

This guide is 100% complete and contains all 19 achievements with explanations (where needed). It is mostly just a direct Google translation of High’s German translation of Omastar’s vanished original guide, with a few minor additions and some correction/re-localization back into English, but the reference listings are my own. If there is a reference I’ve missed, comment it below and it might just get added in!

Indie Dev Supporters
Launch Fine Sweeper

Start Fine Sweeper and in the main menu you get the achievement.

Your Deck
Start a Custom Game.
(Reference: Star Trek: TNG holodeck)

Achieved when a ‘Custom Game’ has been created.

What Ails You, My Friend?
Pick up a Full Heart Container.
(Reference: Diablo, Deckard Cain’s greeting)

You have to collect a special filled heart container, not black! It is quite rare!

1-Upped
Beat a hi-score of 100,001.
(Reference: Super Mario Bros.)

If you already had a higher high score than 100,001 before the update, just start a new level and the achievement will be unlocked.

1-Click Wonder
Clear the whole board in 1 click.
(Reference: Wonder Woman)

Just keep restarting the Campaign level 1 with the F2 key until you get it! (Takes about 15-25 attempts on average).
Does not work in ‘Custom Game’!

Ma-Ti
Collect 113 hearts.
(Reference: Captain Planet and the Planeteers)

Collect a total of 113 Hearts between Campaign and Custom Modes.

Seven of Hearts
Have all heart containers filled.
(Reference: Standard playing cards, possibly also Star Trek: Voyager?)

Keep collecting colorful hearts (and containers as needed) until all 7 heart containers are full!

Lapse Frenzy
Step on 5000 bombs.

Step on a total of 5,000 bombs between the Campaign or Custom modes.

The Fine Sweeper
Mark 50,000 bombs

Mark (correctly!) a total of 50,000 bombs between the Campaign and Custom Modes.
Note that when you click the last un-mined square on a level, all other squares are automatically flagged and added to your total. Note that it is also possible to create a large Custom game in which all but 2 squares are mined, and the first click is always an empty space…

Need 4 Sweep
Make it to level 7 in less than 1 minute.

Complete the first 6 levels in under a minute. After a little practice, this is relatively easy to achieve.

Fine Keeper

Complete levels 1-9 without picking up any hearts!

Class of ’92
Achieve level 10 without mistakes.
