You can get achievements in exploration mode. I tested this with Puppy Quest (wanted something I could earn later on my own). I don't think you should be able to. For one thing, some achievements (Eternium Man) are probably just not that bad in exploration mode but potentially impossible in normal mode. I'm fine with story mode and custom game mode, but a mode (exploration) that isn't supposed to generate a high score also shouldn't generate achievements.



(I marked this a priority 2 not because it's the most serious issue ever but because *if* the Creator decides to change it, I think it's much better done sooner rather than later)
