Drain the Lake Badges

In Drain the Lake, badges come with a difficulty rating, indicated by the number of stars they have. The more stars, the greater the difficulty of the achievement. Luckily, most of the badges are unlocked by progressing through the game, so you’ll passively obtain them anyway.
