    i played the trial version today and liked what i saw, so at the end of Level 1 when it asked me do i want to buy it i purchased the game and then carried on playing. After playing for a few levels i realised i wasn't getting many achievements so i had a look at what they were and they were acheivements i should have gotten already (example: kill 20 enemies) the only achievement that pinged was the kill 100 enemies. 
     
    To fix this i had to delete my savegame and start again, then the achievements came on as they were supposed to. 
     
    If u like the game and you choose to buy it, quit out the trial, buy it then start again from the beginning
     
    Not that it fully matters because this game is fun and you'll play it over and over anyway, it was mostly just for that 'kill 20 enemies' achievement because you cant do that again once it starts tallying up your kill number. 
     
    Hope this helps a few peoples!!!

    I had the same thing happen to me. I got the achievement for 100 kills, but none for 20 kills. It's not a huge deal for me though since its only worth like 5 points. but still kinda annoying.

    This exact thing happened to me last night.  I got thru the 3rd stage already.  I think I will probably restart it tonight since it won't take that long to replay through those pieces.  This game looks like a relatively easy S rank although I'm betting hard is pretty brutal given that some of the stuff on normal is already stupid challenging.  But I also think its partly because I haven't gotten a total grip on the combo system/what moves work on what guys yet.  Really enjoying this game so far though

    I watched a friend play this over ustream earlier and immediately swore it off. After watching his narrowly survive an encounter by tossing a pair of enemies away then filling them full of his remaining bullets THEN jumping a huge dude and juggling him with a chainsaw... well, I think you see where I'm going with this. :)

    This happened to me. I didn't delete my savegame, though, I'm still working on getting all the costumes. I think I'll just wait for the fix.
     
    EDIT: Crap. It also stops you getting the 'The Wrong Guy' achievement. That's 15g off.

    The developer acknowledges that 8/12 of the achievements are broken.  That's why I haven't bought this yet.
