I might be onto something!!

I think I've got a variable or function name conflict with something in the API.
Gonna check that out.

Alright, so you have to tip the pieces that hold up the plank the crocodile is on so you get room on the left, and then there's some kind of bizarre angle you can get the ball to go through at. Only took me half an hour for that 25pt medal. Sheesh.

Cute game though, I enjoy it.

o.o laughably hard? its piss easy for me. i nearly got 6 mill on my first run.

Anyone workin on the medals on those games might wanna know, you wanna kill everything you can. Points seem to upgrade your weapons.

I might record my 6 mill point run

I've narrowed down the source of the problem! (I hope)

For me, the medals work on a New Game, but crash if I even open the Load Game menu.
So I'm guessing the game's loading some badly named variable that conflicts with some other variable name.

The plot thickens!!

Gah i keep gettin 5.8 million on that space shooter game. Has anyone gotten 6 million on it yet?

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2009-08-20 16:53:01


I might have fixed the medals!!!

Do you guys remember if the crashing happened after visiting the Load Game menu?

Cause I'm guessing HeavyTank played through most of the game in one go, so he didn't have any problems, but then he loaded his game and got a medal and then it crashed.

I could be wrong. \(0_o)/

You must be completly right. I completed the game up to the first checkpoint, but then I died out of stupidness (seriously, diying on easy difficulty?) and that was when the medals stopped working ;)

I emailed Tom to ask if an undefined _root.medals variable conflicts with the API. (lol)

I'll update the file soon and hopefully everything will be fine now.

Hard? Then shoot em ups are definitely not the right genre for you. :P

It's not particularly easy, but it's far away from being hard. Hell, the plane even shoots automatically!

Combined score doesn't count (both my players got 3Million+).

One player has to get the score for the medal to unlock.

lol, i got 6 million just couple min ago, pretty damn tricky medal. You gotta take some hits just to get enough kills before the final boss in order to get the medal. By the time i was at the final boss i think i had like..3 hearts left compared to my other run where i still had my 2nd health bar intact lmfao.

good game though. Probaly gonna figure out how to do the 1000 point medal and then get a friend of mine to help with the 2p co-op part of it sometime.

One of them had 5.8M, the other had 2.7M. If I combined that score, the medal would be easy as hell :P

Did you restart any rounds? If so, you can't get certain medals.

Oh, for anyone who's worried the golf game can't be finished in fewer than 25 shots, here's me doing it (with many level restarts to get optimal shot counts, which disqualified me from getting the medal) in 20. You can actually do it in fewer than that, too. Here's the minimum number of shots each level can be done in as far as I can tell:

1 - 1 (did it once by fluke, couldn't replicate this time, did it in 2)
2 - 1
3 - 2
4 - 2
5 - 2
6 - 2
7 - 4 (I thought it could be done in 3, but I can't get inside the windmill in 2; this run was 6)
8 - 3
So the minimum number of shots is 17. I'll get this medal later, got things to do.

I got the 1000 point one by dying at 900 points. You need to know exactly where enemies appear and how to avoid hitting them.

Just got it with 300 points ;P

Basicly, as soon as you get control of your ship, go all the way up, then all the way left. That is a score safespot until the tanks start to appear. When the tanks that move towards you appear, let them get close to you from behind and then go all the way right, and repeat whn they are close to you on the right, but this time go to the left. You should lose just a bit after this.

It's really not that difficult to beat. I almost got 6M points, too.

Two player is a little hard to do with just one person, though.

Every time I get a set of scores like this, I die a little inside.
The worst part is knowing this is the best I'll be doing for a while.

It's still easier to beat the game if there are 2 players from the start. I still can't beat the second boss without diying with one player, even after beating the first boss only losing one life.

New version waiting for admin approval.

But I forgot to change the version number, lame.
It still will say 1.4

I figured out the 1000 point medal. You need to stay at the top of the screen, and navigate in such a way that you don't hit any tanks when they're above you. The pattern is fairly straightforward, just takes some figuring out.

But right now my power is flickering from a thunderstorm, so this is where I stop.

I just got it with 0 points. :P

Move instantly to the right when you get control of the ship, then all the way up. This way you avoid hitting the first tank. Then once you get hit, move all the way to the left.

When you are down to 2 lives it gets a little bit tricky because of a flak setup that you WILL hit if you stay on the left. You have to move to the middle of the screen here. But there's a set of jets coming onto the screen that you will hit if you are in the middle, so you have to do your best to avoid them. Then just let the flaks fire at you and you're done. :)

How on Earth did you get past this part? When a bunch of tanks start to follow you, I go in the middle to avoid any of the enemies on the sides and always end up hitting people that go in the middle! This seems impossible.

Yep, that's the setup I meant in my previous post. It's very tricky to avoid the fighters coming down from the left side. I just stayed there long enough so they where past me, then I moved to the middle (I got lucky not to hit any tanks beneath me). Then just through the flaks while avoiding fighters and tanks. :)
