As it stands, 'Veteran' is going to take you a long time to get, even if you focus on it. Be sure to enjoy a ton of mindless, addictive game-play in the meantime, and enjoy quests, too!

The biggest trick:
- Stay on the mid-to-low portion of the playable area when looking for 'Nyan Love' power-ups.
This is debatable, but I've found the majority of 'Nyan love' power-ups to spawn in the lower half of the game area. There were a few I found up, higher, but after 'aiming low', I found far more success.

Other:
- Make sure to clear a lot of ground, vertical and horizontal when possible. Vertical ground coverage lets you find more things, whether it be power-ups or baddies once you have nyan love. Use low bounce pads, often. Horizontal ground coverage forces items and baddies to spawn more frequently. The more there is, the more you can get done!
- Play Classic mode. In Classic mode, you'll be pressed to click-destroy bombs, but enemies tend to spawn more frequently, allowing for a quicker achievement rate. Zen mode is an alternative, although it's not as efficient as Classic mode. It's simpler having no bombs lying around, since a swathe of them can distract the power-up. It's, also, very apparent when an off-screen baddy gets shot down, instead of a bomb.
- Bombs do not count towards the total. I cannot emphasize that, enough. That's why, when focusing on this achievement, you <i>must</i> click away T9T bombs. If you find clicking too tedious, play Zen mode, but classic mode is the quickest way to this achievement (Unless you prefer traveling left. Maybe Tac Nayn is more your style?)

Useful power-ups:
- Rocketnyan - allows for free movement between platforms, speeds up the level cycle which produces more items.
- Supernyan - allows for free movement between platforms, speeds up the level cycle which produces more items.
- Bubblenyan - allows for easy upwards mobility.
- Turbonyan - forces horizontal coverage.
- Adrenyanlin - forces horizontal coverage.
- Nyan glasses - tiny amount of assistance. Helps visually pick out on-screen power-ups.
- Big Nyan - tiny amount of assistance. Increases your effective 'grab' range for power-ups.
- Mystery power-up - If you don't have Nyan love, yet, try your luck! There are far more positive outcomes to this than negative ones, anyways.

Adverse power-ups:
- Kaleinyanscope - slows horizontal progression and eats up your time.
- Disco Tour - removes special floors. No bouncing.
- Alonenyan - One of the only downgrades to actually be a downgrade for this achievement. Makes it difficult to see other power-ups

Other useful tricks:
- Take low level gum platforms to quickly eyeball and spot any useful power-ups, but don't stray too far from the bottom.

Other:
- Cover vertical ground! That means get up high, quickly. Drop levels, quickly. You only have a finite amount of time for each Nyan love, so make the best of it! Using bounce platforms and dropping levels in succession can turn a 0-1 enemy power-up into 2-3, quickly.
- Obviously, dodge other power-ups or downgrades. They will end Nyan love.
- Reiterating again, T9T/bombs do not count towards the total. React to them and click them away, early.
