This one seems pretty tough.

After a set amount of time, a UFO spawns that hounds you relentlessly and moves faster than you.  It seems impossible to avoid it for long.

Any tips on how to get 75 seconds?

Gradually move up and down from the top of the screen to the bottom and back again.  Keep in mind that the Baiter has predictive shots, so try not to fly in straight lines for too long if Baiters are on screen.  Make sure you keep changing directions while doing this to keep the Baiter on the far edge of the screen from you.  You should be able to have a few stretches where you can just fly straight and fast before they catch up to you ... just be sure to avoid the mutant fire as well.

Good luck.

Yep, this is another one of those "Sounds-Really-Easy-But-PWN3Z-J00" achievements.  The "Dig" from DigDug and Perfect on PacMan are similar controller smashers.

The closest I got was 71 seconds (I have a stopwatch each time I try it). 

I've noticed that in some games, the alien ships abduct the humans much sooner than in others before the "world explodes" and they all turn into Mutants.

One tip might be to try and take advantage of the times it does take longer for them to wipe out all the humans.  But you still gotta look out for those Baiters.  Then again, the Baiters seem to come out at about the same time regardless, so YLMV (your lifespan may vary).

I did get it just a little bit after posting the question hehe.

It doesn't matter (I don't think) if the humans get abducted quickly or slowly because I believe the Baiter comes out after you have been on a level for x amount of seconds, regardless of what happens or what you have done.

Changing directions often is what got it for me.  I got lucky and it shot way past me and I had about 8 seconds before it caught back up.  If you can get all of the mutants grouped before it shows up it helps because you will have a large empty area to work in.

Do you have to survive the first 75 seconds with a single life ?

Live to Game, Game to Live

yes you do have to do that with 1 life

I have been unable to get this achievement and according to the little clock on my computer, I swear I've made it 75 seconds once or twice.

 

Not sure what's going on.

 

 

I was able to get this achievement.  Not very easy but I just followed the tips posted here.  just took quite a few attempts and practice.  Continously moving from top to bottom and changing directions often really helped me.

Funny, that you say "controller smasher", as I did just that, about a half an hour ago, trying to gain this achievement.  It's tough, though I just downloaded this game, and I had more than a few beers in me ;)  Is it just me, or is the 360 controller (at least the wireless controller), while one of the best-designed out there, also one of the easiest to break?  This is the second one I've split open, merely by hitting the floor with it.  I wish all controllers were built like old Nintendo controllers, NES and SNES ones were real hard to break, and could take a whole lot of punishment.  You could toss one of those, or bang your floor with them, and they'd keep right on keeping on.  Not so anymore, and I suspect that's partially by design, if Microsoft, Sony, et al. can get peeps to buy more controllers, all the better for them.

I did it with old school graphics and the Screen Set to smallest size I could not do it full screen or enhanced Graphics.  It seems in this and most games the enhanced graphics has a diffrent Hit detection then the original mode.  Not saying it cannot be done with enhanced But it was easier for me on old school graphics.

got it on the 2nd try like that dispite like 100 trys the other wya

 

how do you turn on old school?

[+[__]..] Game on...

You can switch the graphics from the pause menu.

This game is rock

Zip, you know your $%?#! I have tried this on and off for about a week, a few minutes each day. After changing the graphics to old school and screen size to smallest, no bull, i did it on the first try! The baiters seemed slower, and all mutant bullets weren't as chaotic in the last ten seconds like usual. Thanks for your post! Hope this helps anybody else looking for this achev. it works!

Yes I am awsome. :)

 This is sad. Best way is to reverse, It makes them go off the scanner. You will NEVER outrun them, Up OR down, Left OR Right.
