Microtransaction Simulator Achievement Guide

As a fan of free Steam games, I recently played through Microtransaction Simulator, following up on my experience with Loading Screen Simulator. Since these free games usually offer an easy 100% achievement playthrough, I thought I’d share a detailed guide to help you unlock every achievement in Microtransaction Simulator. Let’s dive right in!
Color Card Achievements (8 Total)
To earn these achievements, simply open card packs until you find each corresponding color. The game simulates the process of collecting different rarities of cards, and each rarity is tied to a color. Here’s how to unlock them:

- Brown Bagel – Get a Brown card.
- Blue Berry – Get a Blue card.
- Purple Grapes – Get a Purple card.
- Red Beet – Get a Red card.
- Green Peas – Get a Green card.

Code Change Related Achievements (3 Total)
For the remaining achievements, you’ll need to modify the game’s code by accessing the catch.gd file located in:
SteamLibrary > SteamApps > Common > Microtransaction_Simulator
Use Notepad++ to edit the file. Here’s how to unlock each one:
- Brick Your Game (Intentionally) – Open the catch.gd file, delete everything inside, and set the file to “Read-Only”. After saving, start the game to earn this achievement.
- Impossible – ‘Open’ a pack that has a total value of 40,000. To do this, change the values of the last pack opened in the catch.gd file (see pic above). totalCardOpenValue must match the total of the four totalValue entries below.
- Mighty Number 9 – ‘Open’ a pack that has four of the same repeating numbers. To do this you need to change some more code. Change your code to look like the pic above.
Microtransaction Simulator is a fun and simple game to 100%, and the best part is, it’s free! If you’re looking for similar games, check out our Press Any Key guide for another free achievement-hunting experience.

heh.. i got the impossible achievement without using coding. I literally got the Scorch inside a pack and then i got the acheivement. 🙂
how do you “win the game”?
I got the “Early Adopter” achievement as soon as I started up the game, not sure what I did
I also didn’t get the “chlsea” achievement until my 2nd start up of the game.
Strange. I got chlsea on my first startup
When you open the game, click the Chlsea logo
there are 34 achievements not 33
It seems to be changing every update. Haha
“Dead” achievement = have -1000$ money
Confirm. I got it when I hit -$1,000.
Nice guide. Looks promising. Nothing should be broken (as I know of from the 33)
Good to know!
