Found this by accident and I've been able to duplicate it at least one more time as of this writing. Didn't see if anyone posted this yet, so let me know and I'll ask to get it deleted.

After you set off the first nuke you sometimes get a wave that has serveral of the stationary rocks that come in an X pattern followed by the small ships that shoot one bullet at you.

Basically, what you need to do is kill everything but 1-3 of those small ships, you get no spawns after awhile and you just fly in a straight line around the world in front of those ships. Make sure you use boost frequently as the little ******s that follow you around are faster then your base speed. This keeps them from shooting at you (They appear to need to be so close to fire a round off)

On second thought there are 2 types of spawns that still come out, first being land mines that spawn on opposite sides of the world (They're the ones that have a number under them and after you blow up 3, a wave of stationary mines come in) Avoid these as they will kill you and or the ships behind you.

The second is Bomb Ships, so yes you can fill up on bombs and go after the 10 nukes Trophy while getting your 7min Trophy (I got 50).

I know it's not glamorious and an obvious exploit, but I thought I'd share for those of you who just wanna get that Trophy.

Also, on a Karmic note, after finishing the 7min Trophy and loading up on Bombs, I procceded to turn around to kill the last couple of follower ships so I could get the 10 nukes trophy. Well, the gods looked poorly upon me with my exploiting Bravado and decided that I should end my boost right in front of a bullet shot out by those little ******s. I died, game over :(

i did mine by not exploding the first nuke, and just keep clearing the first stage(its easier than the rest of them) i lasted 6min 45 seconds(timed it lol) before hitting a tiny rock

ill try your way though, another way to keep those ships(pink ones that shoot one at a time) away from you is to use the gold rock crusher(flame thrower weapon)...they'll keep swinging back n forth trying to getting closer...it doesnt destroy them that easily either

I was going to try that , but I was afraid to kill them. Didn't want to take the chance.

I tried that as well (not destroying the nuke) but after a while the first stage gets harder, as there ends up being those small gun turrets - i hitthe nuke when i see them because i dont like bullets =(
I am going to try this trick =D

Its not on a planet, its on the game mode "Endless" but to get it you need to buy the £2.99 Solo Expansion Pack =(

Yup, theres 12 on the main game and 4 on the expansion pack. The ones on the expansion pack are some what more fun but harder...

No, only the game and one expansion pack (the only it's available).

Yes and no.
Main Game: 12 trophies
Solo Expansion: 4 trophies
Co-Op Expansion: 1 trophy (but its no on the store anymore)

Actually technically you DO need BOTH expansion packs to get all of the trophies. The Team expansion pack (which is MIA at the moment...hoping it pops up when the store updates today) is needed for the final Gold trophy the Brothers in Arms.
