    I've been working on remaking one of my favorite games (Circus Atari) for the ipad / iphone and I'm at a point where I'm not really sure what to do. I've built achievements into the game because, well, I'm a huge xbox achievement whore and I always thought it would be fun to create my own. I'm stuck on what to name the achievements however. I'm not really coming up with anything very fun or witty, and I don't want to just name them what they do.

    So this post is to ask everyone here on ideas for names for the chieves. I'm going to draw little icons for them as well but I can't draw them until I know what they are called.

    The achievement system isn't integrated into plus+ or open feint. It only exists in the game so there are no limits to anything.

    Again the game I'm remaking is Circus Atari. It's like Arkanoid but there are 2 balls (clowns) and instead of a paddle they land on a see-saw.

    Here is a screen from my game.

    This gave me flashbacks to Killer Instinct in the arcades.

    If KI2 came out on the ipad I would pay $50 for it.

    I added a few more achievements to the OP. We added power ups and some stats are tracked in one of them. There is a balloon you can get called 'pin finger' that lets you touch the balloons for 10 seconds popping them.

    Pop 10 with pin finger
    Pop 50 with pin finger
    Pop 100 with pin finger

    Any ideas on these?
