What’s better than reaching that treasure hidden beneath the hole?
But don’t worry, as this isn’t a problem that cannot be solved by shoveling.
That’s becauseyou must beat the game once to unlock Achievement Mode.
If you don’t, you won’t be able to earn any achievements at all.
Once you reach the treasure, start a New Game through the menu.
This will erase your previous saved file, butyou’ll finally be able to get the achievements.
Progress is cumulative between playthroughs.
