Special thanks:

TriRock - for possible glitch solution

bob101910 - update information

 

Introduction:

This game is as silly as it sounds. All you have to do is swipe money. There really isn't too much to say except keep in mind of the glitches involving achievements not syncing.

 

Glitches

NOTE: With the current update the achievements should sync properly.

 

There have been reports of achievements not syncing and I've personally had two achievements not sync for me. The only way to fix this is to uninstall the game, reinstall the game, and then earn the achievements again. A possible solution to this is to make sure you're connected while playing.

 

The game freezes a lot. This only affects swiping the screen which means if you've invested in " auto-swiping" then it will continue. You can also get audited by the FBI but you won't be able to spin the wheel. Sometimes you can click your bucket, empty it and you can swipe again. If you can't open your bucket then you'll have to exit out of the game and open it up again. You'll have to hard quit by hitting the Back button and choosing to quit the game. Hitting the Home button and starting the game again won't work.

 

TriRock has provided some information HERE that may help out. Basically the solution is to start up your game from the game selection instead of a shortcut.

 

Walkthrough:

To start off just start swiping money. As soon as you have enough you get to buy the bucket to collect money automatically. The capacity isn't much and it has a slow rate. Upgrade it how you see fit.

 

There are 3 different types of upgrades that you can choose from:

 

  • Financial Investments - These upgrades increase the amount of money you receive from auto-swiping. This means you will receive money without having to swipe.
  • Business Investments - These upgrades will increase the amount of money you get when you manually swipe.
  • Political Investments - These upgrades involve you money bucket. One type of upgrade increases the capacity of the bucket, the other increase the rate in which the bucket fills up. The money bucket continues to fill even when you're not playing the game.

 

There are a few things that can, and will, help you collect money faster.

 

  • Real money - You can buy upgrades and bribe cards to help you reach your goals/achievements faster if you'd like.
  • Macro - Using a macro to swipe for you will help get your 100,000 swipes quickly and a large amount of money.
  • Time glitch - You can change the time/date to get your bucket filled quickly. Empty your bucket, increase the time/date in settings on your phone, empty your filled bucket, rinse and repeat.
  • After getting audited by the FBI you can ignore the OK button and let your money to continue auto-swiping, regardless of the audit outcome.

 

Conclusion:

This is an easy game to complete and with the patch achievements should sync and pop correctly.

Invest on Cryogenic Brain Storage

 

You'll find these in the "Business Investments" (the icon that looks like a briefcase). These will increase your money value for each time you swipe the money. You will have to start at the top and buy three tiers of it before moving on to the next one. The list is as follows:

 

Paper route - achievement

Lemonade Stand

Flower Cart

Coffee Shop

Fast Food Chain

Casino

Cigarette Factory - achievement

Soda Company

Railroad Monopoly

Strip Mine - achievement

Arctic Drilling

Candy Theft Ring

Old Lady Smuggling

Clown College

NSA Collaborator - achievement (after buying all 3 tiers)

Dog Massage Parlor

Cat Herding Corp

Cryogenic Brain Storage - achievement

Electric Apiary

Banana Stand

Rainforest Lumber

Prescription Pain Killers

Coal Power Plant

Make your first BB

 

This will take some time to get. I suggest upgrading your "Financial Investments" and "Business Investments" to help get there quicker. Here are the values of the money in the game:

 

1K = $1,000

1M = $1,000,000 - achievement

1B = $1,000,000,000 - achievement

1KB = $1,000,000,000,000

1MB = $1,000,000,000,000,000

1BB = $1,000,000,000,000,000,000 - achievement

1KBB = $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

1MBB = $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

1BBB = $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

 

This is the money you have on hand and is NOT cumulative.

Collect 5M from your filled bucket

 

Just to clarify, you have to collect 5M from your bucket, the bucket doesn't necessarily have to be full.

 

In order to get your bucket to hold 5M you'll need to upgrade it in the "Political Investments". Not only can you upgrade the capacity of your bucket, you can also upgrade the rate in which you bucket fills up. So the faster the rate your bucket fills, the faster it'll get to 5M for the achievement.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3399/10.jpg Influent 10:gsicon:

Reach level 10 on Elect Robot President

 

You'll find this in "Political Investments". You will need to invest in Elect Robot President a minimum of 10 times. The more you invest in it, the more it'll cost each time you buy it. This upgrade will increase the capacity your bucket will hold. So if you have a good rate of money filling up your bucket you'll be able to hold a lot more and not have to empty it so often.

Reach a 500 rate per second

See "Make it flood"

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3399/15.jpg Make it flood 20:gsicon:

Reach a 500 MB rate per second

 

This achievement will also take some time. You will need to buy upgrades from "Financial Investments". I suggest saving up enough to buy some of the more expensive upgrades to have your money auto-swipe with a greater profit. This will in turn help you earn money faster to get to the next upgrade that you want.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3399/16.jpg Celebrity 5:gsicon:

Connect to Facebook

 

Just what it says, connect to Facebook. You'll find this option in the "lightening bolt" icon. Once you're connected you'll be brought back to the game and the achievement will pop. This also doubles your financial rates so I suggest waiting until you have some good Financial Investments going to make it worth it.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3399/19.jpg Fast finger 10:gsicon:

Swipe 170 bills in 30 seconds

 

This is quite easy. Just swipe as fast as you can. Several suggestions would be swiping up with your thumbs really fast alternating each thumb obviously. Or placing the phone on a table where the top of the phone is towards you and swipe down with your fingers as fast as you can.

See "Great Tycoon"

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3399/11.jpg Untouchable 5:gsicon:

Get 5 miracles

 

This achievement will require you to get audited by the FBI. When you get audited you'll have to spin a wheel to determine what happens to your money. A "miracle" will let you keep your money plus you'll get an added 50% of what you currently have. It seems getting audited by the FBI is random, but I seemed to have better luck when I let the game run on it's own (not manually swiping). Then once you do you have to get rely on luck to get a "miracle" result.

 

There is an easy way to get this. Once you get a miracle and the results screen pops up (stating you get 50%), hit the back button and quit the game. If hitting the back button doesn't work you can turn your phone off and turn it back on. Load the game back up and you'll have to spin the wheel again. Whatever you landed on the first time the wheel will land on the same thing again and go towards your count. Repeat the process of quitting the game, loading it back up, spinning the wheel again and landing on "miracle." Do this until the achievement pops. This will also work for the "Hopeless" achievement.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3399/12.jpg Hopeless 10:gsicon:

Get guilty 10 times

 

See "Untouchable"

 

This will require you to audited by the FBI and then land on "guilty" after spinning the wheel. The easy method described in the "Untouchable" achievement will work for this achievement also, except you'll have to do it ten times instead of five.

 

Also keep in mind that the consequences of landing on "guilty" will require you to lose a big chunk of money and decrease your financial rate unless you have a bribe card. You get one free bribe card in the game and you can buy more if you'd like. You can get 5 bribe cards for $0.99 or 25 cards for $1.99.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3399/17.jpg Greedy 5:gsicon:

Swipe 10,000 times

 

See "Erased fingertips"

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3399/18.jpg Erased fingerprints 15:gsicon:

Swipe 100,000 times

 

This achievement sucks and will most likely be your last achievement. To get this legit it will take several hours grinding this out. But if you're desperate and want to hurry up and get this out of the way you can run a macro and get this in no time.

Get Honey laundering and Electronic apiary

 

You will need to invest in Honey Laundering from "Financial Investments" with the first tier costing $190MB AND Electronic Apiary from "Business Investments" with the first tier $123KBB. Remember, to get to Electronic Apiary in "Business Investments" you will need to buy all 3 tiers of each of the investments that precedes it.

 

Paper route

Lemonade Stand

Flower Cart

Coffee Shop

Fast Food Chain

Casino

Cigarette Factory

Soda Company

Railroad Monopoly

Strip Mine

Arctic Drilling

Candy Theft Ring

Old Lady Smuggling

Clown College

NSA Collaborator

Dog Massage Parlor

Cat Herding Corp

Cryogenic Brain Storage

Electric Apiary

Banana Stand

Rainforest Lumber

Prescription Pain Killers

Coal Power Plant

 

You will need to invest in Cryogenic Brain Storage for the "Great Tycoon" achievement anyway so it won't take too much longer after that.

Self Made/Entrepreneur are not opening. Anybody else have this problem. I'm about half way through the game.

 

If it's something you got more than a few days ago, it could have more to do with the WP sync issues that were going on, which they're looking into already. I haven't had any problems with any achievements in this game.

Some people were talking about uninstalling then reinstalling games don't work. Maybe its due to the game they were playing that had cloud saving. So with this one, an uninstall helped? I got 3 unsynced achievements, if that's the case I'll just re-earn them later.

 

You may want to note that the "Time Glitch" works when filling up your bucket. Time Forward, Bucket is Full, Empty, Skip Ahead and voila Bucket is full again.

I'm not saying it will definitely work, but I had two achievements not sync and reinstalled the game and earned them again and they synced. Luckily mine were fairly early achievements and I didn't have to redo too much.

 

Thanks for the time glitch info. I honestly had no idea you could do that lol. Wish I'd known that when I was playing through the game.

Here is a little secret I found. Your punishment/reward from the FBI Investigation is calculated after you hit the ok button. So for example, if you get miracle, you get 50% of your money added on. So if you just leave the "judgement" open and let your money keep growing, you can give a significant bonus when you hit the ok button and not worry about getting another FBI Investigation. Conversely, if you get a fee, you can let the money grow to cover your fee, so its like your not missing a dime. Hope this helps some of yall out. I have also taken to leaving the game open while I'm sleeping or watching a movie so I can continue to earn money while not using my phone. It has very little drain on the battery, so its no biggie.

Quoting from MonkeyPunchBaby...

 

You can also close the app/game down and then as soon as it restarts you keep the same outcome as before.

 

I hope this helps in any way.

3 achievements didn't sync . Uninstall/ reinstall don't work for me

 

It's more than just uninstall/reinstall. You have to re-earn the achievements all over again.

 

Which ones haven't unlocked for y'all? I only have two achievements left to unlock, one I know I haven't unlocked and the other I have no clue since there's no counter for the swipes.

 

If they haven't unlocked then you're in luck because there haven't been any issues with achievements not unlocking. The only issue at the moment is achievements not syncing after they are unlocked.

3 glitched for me, uninstalled and re-earned each of them and they haven't unlocked on my gamertag. Still showed as locked when I reinstalled and loaded up the game. Is there a way to change that?

I'm not really sure. I know that the achievements that glitched for me were when I was at work. I earned them again while connected to my WiFi and they synced. I'll see if I can find more info on this and possible solutions.

People who unlocked achievements on their phones that didn't sync with their account got hit by a bug in the WP system. It's not a fault of the game. The way to avoid it from happening (with 99% certainty) is to launch the game (any game, really) from the WP game hub instead from a short cut.

 

Microsoft is aware of the issue and is working on getting the unsynced achievements to sync. Here is a thread on the xbox forums I recommend to post your findings in. However, don't expect miracles - I reported the same problems over a month ago and nothing has been resolved.

  • 2 weeks later...

Update today made it possible to get bribe cards from completing missions. I've only completed 3 missions so far and have gotten 2 bribe cards. I'm hoping to get more for completing future missions.

 

 

EDIT: Definitely get more later on as well. This latest update makes the whole game much easier.
