''[http://armorgames.com/play/2893/achievement-unlocked '''Achievement Unlocked]''''' is a [[Web GamesGame]] by [[Jmtb 02]], that could be considered a [[Shaped Like Itself|metagame about metagaming]]. It is the ''[[Spin-Off]]''/sequel to ''Elephant Rave''. The game features an elephant in a room, and a myriad of achievements ranging from simple things like moving left and right, to more complex things like dying a certain amount of times, or visiting certain points in the room in a certain order. You can earn 13 achievements by ''starting up the game and standing still''.
 
The only real point to the game is to get all of the achievements -- there isn't really any story or anything to speak of. The game ends once you get all of the achievements.
 
Two subsequent sequels was made. The first of them, ''[http://armorgames.com/play/6561/achievement-unlocked-2 Achievement Unlocked 2]'' pokes fun at the concept of [[Downloadable Content]]. It also has a Time Trial challenge and a multiplayer mode. ''[http://armorgames.com/play/13196/achievement-unlocked-3 Achievement Unlocked 3]'' extends the amount of achivementsachievements to 400, includes a ladder system, and adds an [[Excuse Plot]] where you collect pellets for the Hamster King.
 
The same elephant stars in ''[[This Is the Only Level]]'' and its sequel, as well as ''Elephant Rave HD'' and ''Elephant Rave sLoWdOwN Remix'', ''Run Elephant Run'', ''Obey The Game!'' and ''[[Elephant Quest]]''.
 
It can be played [http://armorgames.com/play/2893/achievement-unlocked here].

''I was never obligated to finish the achievements given to me. So much time has elapsed... I could have baked a pizza, went for a run, helped my sister move her apartment across town... but instead I sat here.''<br />
''I SAT.''<br />
''Here I sat, pushing the arrow keys, moving a little 20 pixel elephant around a screen doing fairly random tasks.
