Introduction:
Shoot Many Robots is an Indie game developed by Demiurge Studios. It is a 2D sidescrolling shooter. It is a small, fun game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It provides quite a few laughs while still being an enjoyable action game.

Step One:
Play through the Easy campaign. Don’t worry about trophies, just enjoy yourself and upgrade your character and gear. During this step you will get:

Shoot Some Robots

Step Two:
Play through the Hard campaign until you have 75 stars. To help with this you can go back and get some of the stars from the earlier missions that you missed. Your goal here is just to get 75 stars. This will get you:

Lookie, Many Stars

Step Three:
Mop up. This is where you will get every trophy in single player that you missed during Step One and Step Two. You should get all of the trophies listed, see their descriptions if you are unsure how to get them.

Step Four:
Online or co-op playthrough. Here you will be mopping up the final trophies you missed. If you need a partner (or three) for online, head on over to the Trophy Boosting Thread. In this step you should get the last few trophies:

Trophy Guide

Shoot Many Robots
Kill 10000 robots!

While the trophy is fairly self-explanatory, this will take a bit of grinding. On each of the earlier levels you defeat between 100 and 200 robots on average. That means you have to play through earlier levels around 66 times to get this trophy. Luckily the later survival levels have quite a few robots. I personally got this trophy in a mere few hours of actual farming.

A good place to farm this trophy is any survival mode with a good flamethrower. Each run through can give up to 1000 kills, and they don't take too long.

Shoot Some Robots
Kill 100 robots!

This will be the first trophy you get, you will get it on the first level after the tutorial, Farm Town.

Happy 50th, Walter
Reach level 50!

Reach level 50. You actually level up fairly quickly, you should be able to get this trophy soon after getting Shoot Many Robots if you didn't farm and played through the campaign. I personally got it part of the way into my hard playthrough.

Greetings, Earth Citizens
Beat a mission wearing the astronaut helmet and backpack!

The astronaut backpack is actually called E.V.A. Pack. Once you have unlocked the Astronaut Helmet and E.V.A. Pack, purchase both from the shop and equip them. Then simply go in and clear any level and this trophy will pop.

It seems to be random which level you get which item from, but the levels will correspond to the equipment's level. I personally got the E.V.A. Pack from levels in the second sub-section of levels, Dirtied Drive.

The E.V.A Pack has a required level of 15, and costs 13850 nuts. Surprisingly, the stats are fairly good, so picking this item up around level 15 won't be a burden at all.

The Astronaut Helmet has a required level of 12, and costs 13990 nuts. I personally got this by replaying Farmland Siege a few times.

Lookie, Many Stars
Get 75 stars!

Each time you complete a level, you earn a number of stars which relates to how many nuts you collected throughout the level. You can earn up to 5 stars per level. You can keep track of how many stars you are at during a level by checking at the top left. Collect 75 stars across all missions to earn this trophy.

You will likely have to earn stars from normal and hard to earn this trophy. I personally got this two levels into my hard playthrough, with a bit of backtracking in my normal playthrough.

Dominate at Fatherhood
Beat a mission wearing the baby carrier!

Once you have unlocked the baby carrier, purchase it from the shop and equip it. Then simply go in and clear any level and this trophy will pop. Obviously the first level is the easiest, and it does count for this trophy.

The Baby Carrier can be used after level 4 and costs 1170 nuts.

It seems to be random which level you get which item from, but the levels will correspond to the equipment's level. I personally got the Baby Carrier while replaying the earliest levels, in Happy Nut Road.

The Dry Run
Complete a mission on hard or insane without dying or drinking juice!

To change the difficulty, press at the map. This will actually open up a new set of worlds to go to. They will only unlock once you have enough stars. The earliest ‘Hard’ world opens up when you have 50 stars. Your best bet for this trophy is to beat all of the worlds, then go back to the first hard world and beat it when you feel comfortable that you won’t need to heal at all.

The first hard mission is actually fairly easy, if you take it slow and make sure to deflect all the deflectable bullets, it should be fairly easy to get this trophy.

I suggest using gear such as the Emperor’s New Pants. It provides: +47% damage, +77% speed, and +30% jump height. It does give you -30% health, -40% ammo, and -2 juice, but since you won’t be using juice anyway, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. *Note* This item itself isn't overly amazing, I simply mean this type of thing.

Punch Many Bullets
Punch two bullets, killing two robots, with one melee swing!

You can deflect the red bullets that robots shoot by using your melee attack (). Deflect two bullets and defeat two robots with the deflected bullets for this trophy.

There really isn’t much of a secret to this trophy. Just play through levels that have a lot of enemies who shoot, especially aerial ones, since they have low health. I got this trophy without trying during my first run through of the level Grain Processing. In some of the later levels, you will be pitted against a host of immobile enemies that all shoot. This is a great easy place to get this trophy. The place I found that was really good was the second mission in the last area of my normal playthrough.

Online or Co-op Trophies

Lower Carbon Footprints
Destroy a robot overlord in multiplayer!

At the end of the normal campaign is the first Robot Overlord you will face. He is fairly simple, just shoot him a few times then outrun him. Do this with a partner, whether co-op or online, and when you complete the level, you will receive this trophy.

Easy way (requires two controllers): At the main menu, select start, and start with the second controller as a player. Go to the final level on normal and then just put down the second remote. Go through the level, kill the boss, and escape, and even though the second player was simply sitting there dead, you will still get this trophy. Confirmed it myself.

Get Over It
Revive other players 8 times!

When you have another player in your world, and they get knocked out, run over to them and press to revive them. Do this 8 times to get the trophy. You do not have to revive the same player all 8 times. This can by done online or co-op.

Make Many Friends
Have someone you invite join you in an online game!

Fairly self-explanatory. Simply invite someone online to join you. Clearly this trophy cannot be done in co-op. Head over to the Trophy Boosting Thread to find a partner you can invite.

Number One Tugnut
Come in 1st in a four player mission!

Invite four friends and play through a mission. At the end, whoever has slain the most robots will come in first. Come in first once to receive this trophy. This can be done online or co-op.

What level requirement is the Astronaut suit? The unlocking is 100% dependent on the level you are playing. Easier levels net lower level equipment. Harder levels, higher level. I'd just like a ballpark of where I need to be looking.

To be honest, I don't know. I haven't found it myself yet, I am waiting for confirmation from someone else. I should add in the Baby Carrier level though...

[BTox]

I'll let you know if I find out what the specs on the Astronaut suit are. I know the baby is level 4 and costs 1200 ish. I posted a tip on PSNP (i know youve been there before) so you can always take my info as long as you give credit where its due.

EDIT: I found where the Astronaut Helmet is, I just need to confirm it with a friend before I make anything official.

[Mnemic1987]

i just read on another thread here that the backpack you need is for this trophy is the "E.V.A Pack"

[DKsDragon]

I heard this as well, Astronaut Helmet + E.V.A. Pack for the achievement.
